"The Speaker" is a gouache peacock with micca powder watercolor accents. Painted on 9x12 smooth bristol.

The camera cannot get the effects right. 100% better in person.

So brgins the start of gift painting. The designs I paint up till Christmas will not be available for sale, and will receive random updates. This is a time for me to stretch and practice my skills.

Welp. Last night came up with a stunning chapter which really just highlights life with ptsd and depression. And I got a spoiler free teaser out of it!
This is an excerpt from my NovNov project: Stan Bubbles, Evil King which I expect to publish 2027.
