Good morning.
You will want to ask @spookyxpickle.bsky.social about this one.

Got it!
More of the colour sense of decayed exotic grandeur and a bit sharper in the contrast.

And here is a moss maiden, in case you needed one of those.

Feeling very nearly human!
In celebration, here is Mr Anderson being dignified.

I *think* I have coloured it in such a way that the sense of gloom is not diminished but there are hints of decayed finery in the landscape. I am, however, running a bit of a fever. Will look again tomorrow.

Good morning.

Playing with tones on this one as I draw the next.
Next one, is one that Sime also illustrated so trying to go very much in my own direction. Going head to head with Sime is..unthinkable.

Have decided that I am going to include the Current Lord Dunsany in one of the illustrations. Sword of Welleran? He would make a fine young Iraine .
Metal eco bard, working to rewild Ireland. Hell yes.

Going to surpass this level of detail in the Dunsany illos, apparently. He's worth it.
Fewer plant puns though.

...and Good morning from Kaw.

Right!
Well then. Will be posting the final flight of witches tomorrow and apparently two copies of The Latchless Door by @taliskimberley.bsky.social. If you'd like a copy in this run to the post, here is the thing. thomas-brown-1.sumupstore.com/product/the-... into by @hookland.bsky.social (!!!)

Holds up pretty well, I think.
Wish I were using the mixed media back then, though.
One of the best things about living in the UK is getting to be in the same room as Pre Raphaelite paintings. They still make me breathe funny. Every time.

Good morning.
Kitty.
(also, books)

This will be much of my life for the next six months.
For the First time though, I'm doing two large projects simultaneously. They compliment each other well and will keep me sane (er) The second, is with my publisher, @badhandbooks.bsky.social .
November 5, 2025 at 12:29 PM
What do we think, @hookland.bsky.social ?
November 4, 2025 at 12:38 PM
Right. First one done in pencil, paint, chalk and White pen. I really, really hope this is as good as I think it is but I won't know for probably a week. Will colour this and draw my next book cover now.

'S up?
November 4, 2025 at 9:40 AM
Hullo! Is me. I get paper dirty (professionally) currently in the service of the writings of Lord Dunsany among others. I am very busy and that is really good news. Open to projects in 2026.https://thomassbrown.com/
November 4, 2025 at 9:32 AM
Ok. Here is a tease of progress. Plan to have this one finished today in pencil.
November 3, 2025 at 12:15 PM
Something to look at while I draw Dunsany.
This, in memory of the utterly lovely Tim Deal.
November 3, 2025 at 10:36 AM
Too soon?

Hello.
Fight and make your life something worth fighting for.
Fight for friends, fight for your fellow creatures.
Do something utterly frivolous.
Remember, surrealism is a profoundly anti-nazi response.
