In a strange way the appearance of A/I has made me want to make things myself now because I used to put so much pressure on myself to make things “perfectly.” But now seeing folks praise prompt generated stuff as art, has me caring less about perfection and more about process and growth.

Was lucky enough to catch this pretty yellow butterfly land on one of my few remaining red Canna Lilies. Enjoying the sights as Fall starts to set in.

Another spooky piece from my world of Zastos from a few years back. A group of aspiring but incompetent mages decided to take a shortcut to power by trying to sacrifice someone to a spirit to grant them more power.

It doesn't work out well for them.
5 figures stand together in a dim forest lit by eerie yellow light. All of them wear cloaks and hoods obscuring their faces almost like a uniform. They are mage students of Zastos all about to engage in a dangerous ritual. The figure in front holds a lantern to chase off the gloom and fog around them.

Cover for GET MARIOS MONEY. It is in the vein of the Puff Daddy and the Family album, "No Way Out." It features Bubsy, Areo, Rayman, Billy Hatcher, Jazz Jackrabbit, Awesome Possum, and Ardy Lightfoot. Panel One: Mario is walking and talking to Rayman on the set of Rayman’s third video game, *Rayman 3: Hoodlum Havoc. Mario has his hand on Rayman’s invisible shoulder because Rayman’s limbs are invisible. Mario is going to give Rayman the deal of a lifetime. CAPTION: On the set of Rayman 3: Hoodlum Havoc. RAYMAN: I don’t know, Mario. Sales on my first two games are great, and I’ve been able to take care of my loved ones. MARIO: Both of your games went multi-platinum. Has the studio discussed renegotiating your deal? RAYMAN: Well… No. Panel Two Mario is now making the sell to get Rayman to sign with his new management firm. MARIO: Ray, let me help you get the money that you deserve. MARIO: Let Four-M take care of you. RAYMAN: Four-M? Panel Three A solo shot of Mario, looking sly, as he gives out the name of his management company. MARIO: Money. Making. Mario. Management. Panel Four Mario pulls out a contract for Rayman to sign. Rayman still has doubts, but at the same time would love to have more money for his work. MARIO: My management firm will get you your money. I gotchu. MARIO: We family. We look out for each other, right?

Took a much needed social media break. It’s good to know sometimes that there’s a world outside of this space. It’s still cool to visit from time to time, but I can’t let it take up too much space in my life.

My friend & artist @leighwalls.bsky.social sent me some inked sketches back in 2020 on 3x5 index cards & I finally laminated & put some on my wall near my workspace for inspiration. They are some of my treasured pieces. Leigh’s inks are some of the best I’ve seen & I hope we’ll collab again soon.

I randomly stumbled upon Fujio Kito, an artist who documents Japanese playgrounds at night. It was a fun little rabbit hole to follow. fujio-pand-park.tumblr.com

I think my red and orange Canna lilies cross pollinated and created a hybrid (photo 1&2) I’m seeing not far from them. I’m no plant expert, so I’m not sure, but it has characteristics of both. 🌱

A trap I found myself succumbing to was “living for an invisible audience.” It’s not something I purposely sought, but I noticed it subtly creep into my taste, personality, responses… now I find myself giving and asking for more grace because the more I learn the less I seem know.

Our youngest keeps having high test scores at school, and I finally learned why while overhearing her chat with her sister. Turns out our oldest has been sharing what she's learned with her for YEARS.

Something I've been slowly doing is settling in on world signifiers for #Ha-Nahn. One of the first big ones I've worked in recently is calligraphic magic.

It's harder to see in Nature's Aegis but if you zoom in...
An image of an old mage with a head wrap with closed eyes and thinking. His head is flagged by bronze rings and the background is a field of stars representing him thinking of infinite possibilities. Within the circles, the symbol for story magic floats in space. A Black man in African inspired clothing and short dreads holds a book glowing between his hands in a dark forest. A spirit with a face like a west African mask and glowing blue eyes looms menacingly above him. The man has a book holster under his arms indicating he is a mage scholar from his setting and he looks forward confidently. Glowing symbols, representing story magic come from the book and wrap around his hand and arm. An image of a Black non-binary person in a rainforest environment. They are a mage and the painting is done primarily in a green pallet. They’re channeling nature magic into a protective cloak that trails away from her shoulders and arcs gracefully across the page. They look over their shoulder at it serenely and is seen from a slightly raised angle. A zoom in of Nature's Aegis where you can see a calligraphic symbol over the character's necklace. This is the character for nature in Ha-Nahn.

It’s a bit messy right now, but here’s almost 20 years in the making in building my tiny cozy workspace. I’ll do a small tour someday soon.

I'm actually coming to the end of All the pieces I had from last time, so I'm casting my fishing rod again. Thanks for everyone who came through the first time around!

What's with the blood? Hey friend, you're asking a lot of questions...

Was listening to some random podcast and the guest was talking about how much he loves entrepreneurship and the freedoms it brings. But he then said that he empathizes but has no good advice for folks who want to opt out of capitalism and “just” garden.

Well…

I guess this episode’s not for me.

All 63 pages of our upcoming graphic novel #OtisAndTheSylvaBeast are penciled!!!!

Here’s a peek into @wingedelfgirl.bsky.social sketchbook as she expertly defined and refined the characters and environments that will be in this book.

Hope you’re just as excited as we are for this book!

On Sunday, I finished penciling #63, the last page of #OtisAndTheSylvaBeast (the kids graphic novel written by @notsosuper.pub)!!!

Can you see page 63? NO. Spoilers!! But here are some photos from my sketchbook with art created while working on it! Annnnd also it's not done; still gotta ink etc. 😤
Photo of a chaotic sketchbook page containing some panel correction sketches for the graphic novel Otis And The Sylva Beast; including a magic owl, a boy with glasses and a poncho sitting on the ground and standing/rubbing his butt, and some closer chaotic sketches of a hand grabbing something and a foot stepping off the ground. Photo of a sketchbook page with artwork for the graphic novel Otis And The Sylva Beast. In the midst of the chaos is the layout for page 35, wherein Darby pulls out a sword and Otis looks like he'a gonna get something from his bag. Photo of a sketchbook page with artwork for the graphic novel Otis And The Sylva Beast. Between two planning pages is a drawing of Otis looking up from hiding under his arm, which I really like but didn't end up using.
