Nachtgarten (alt version)
this is a photo-composite version of “Nachtgarten“ (from last year) it is more raw and you can see the imperfections of the mask made with metal wires. It’s been a very difficult week and this image feels like a release… cathartic and soothing, exactly what I’m needing now.

Does anyone know any great artists who specialize in fantasy map making? I’m going to remove my book from Amazon, and I thought to celebrate a new edition, I’d add a fantasy map of my world to the inner pages of the book. I drew a map long ago to keep facts straight as I wrote, so I have a mock up.
