The old tongues sing of ancient lands
bound by sun, stone, blood, and
dream.

They whisper secrets in
those moon-bound
visions.

With my hand
upon the flame,
I listen.

A linocut of a mystical comet arcing above a planet's desolate birch grove. An aging manor-observatory studies the comet's trajectory from a hillside, and an ancient automaton slumbers, ready to wake the moment the standing stones it is charged to defend are trespassed against.

A linocut of the desolate world of Peles, its dead birch groves illuminated by the light of the Blood Comet arcing above A monoprint of Baroness de la Bré, a powerful Blood Ink Vampire armed with a masterwork wheellock pistol and an ancient grimoire of forbidden magic. A monoprint of a cyborg, their face contorted in a mixture of curiosity, pain, and cold analysis. A monoprint of wolves corrupted by strange cosmic horrors, deformed and writhing as dread power flows through them.

My favorite part of Ephemeris is the fact that I get to print the booklets myself – risograph is so goddamn cool and seeing my work come to life physically is an amazing feeling.

One of my favorite linocuts:
A linocut of a comet brimming with supernatural power arcing above the dead birch forests of a desolate world. A once-auspicious manor looms on a hillside – within it a powerful Blood Ink Vampire musters her power to bind the Blood Comet to her will. Ancient standing stones hum with unknown power beneath the comet's light, and powerful automata slumber, waiting for the eve where their powers are once again called upon...

Ephemeris is character driven: thralls vie for their masters' favor, mortals craving immortality bargain with cosmic entities, a family searches for a cure – any cure – for their daughter's illness.

The threads you pick up can lead to any number of opportunities, and any number of horrors 🦇
