My husband's book, the dark side of super, is now on backerkit so that he can get it made into an AUDIO BOOK!

Book's already done :) He even found a really great narrator!

You can check it out here: www.backerkit.com/c/projects/t...
Cover art for the book the dark side of super. It is red, black, and white. Cityscape of abstract buildings. There's a red figure in the foreground, staring at the viewer. Far in the distance is a small super hero standing on top of a building.

Art vs Artist
Surreal painting of a very big deer with a tree growing out of its body. In the tree is the woods. From the woods emerge little deer. Under the deer are roots. There's a path running from top to bottom. It's green, white, blue, and black. Very textured. Artist with her husband. He's nothing but teeth.

*I have had far too much coffee this week and has tilted me into "happy, but gloomy" mood.

Also it's a good book.

Here are some previous years cards :)

Got prints here > fallenlights.net
Red fox peering up at stars that float around in the sky. There are green roots and branches surrounding him. He seems happy. Violet and blue raven with ribbons in his beak. Moon, stars, and a white feather are on the ribbons. He's perched on a green branch. it's night time. A bunch of raccoons and possums on green spiraling branches. They are stealing little stars.

Made a few color studies last week to kind of give my thoughts a break, and wound up working on an idea for my husband @backwardsknight.com short story In Pyxis, which I believe he'll be getting up on itch eventually :)

The Ever Watchful - 9x12in, watercolor

Based off of a sketch I made a patron this month, and the desire to just... mess around with colors that aren't my usuals.

Deer visits the backyard.
