I love seeing this when opening a box of books. This is well packed. #jeremybrundageauthor

I finished the colors for the poster of the underworld to go along with my novel Medusa and Mod’s Oddity Odyssey. I love creating art for my stories. #jeremybrundageauthor #medusaandmodsoddityodyssey #notquitelegendaryseries #curseddragonshippublishing #twelvetrialsofdoug

Black and White of the underworld to go along with the novel Medusa and Mod’s Oddity Odyssey. I’m pretty happy with the line work. #jeremybrundageauthor #medusaandmodsoddityodyssey #notquitelegendaryseries #curseddragonshippublishing #twelvetrialsofdoug

These socks are titled ”Calcifer in Blue”. #jeremybrundageauthor

Doug should hold a birthday for the clam every year, because that would keep the clam on his side. And you know what an asset a clam voice can be. #jeremybrundageauthor #twelvetrialsofdoug #curseddragonshippublishing

Shipping was a pain, but I finally got the posters. The paper is a bit thinner than I expected. The colors and production are lovely. I’m very happy with what was delivered. 16x20 is a good size for art. #jeremybrundageauthor #curseddragonshippublishing #notquitelegendaryseries #twelvetrialsofdoug

AI added just a little something extra. Support a real artist. #jeremybrundageauthor

This is every uncle’s duty and challenge. Make it so! #jeremybrundageauthor

A little bit of English clarification. #jeremybrundageauthor #notquitelegendaryseries #curseddragonshippublishing

Last of the illustrations to inspire the icons for the maps. #jeremybrundageauthor #notquitelegendaryseries #curseddragonshippublishing

“Someday I’d like to illustrate depictions of the nine levels of hell as described in classical literature.” They’re the nine levels of hell as described in the brief views through the elevator in my book, but close enough. #jeremybrundageauthor #curseddragonshippublishing #notquitelegendaryseries

More sketches to inspire the icons for the map. In this installment there are mushrooms involved. #jeremybrundageauthor #curseddragonshippublishing #notquitelegendaryseries

Why, yes. I am an enabler. Thank you very much. #jeremybrundageauthor #notquitelegendaryseries #curseddragonshippublishing

Life goals. #jeremybrundageauthor #curseddragonshippublishing #notquitelegendaryseries

Part two of creating the icons for the map. I‘m having a fun time creating them. #jeremybrundageauthor #curseddragonshippublishing #notquitelegendaryseries

I use icons instead of words on my Not Quite Legendary series maps. Hopefully I won‘t lose too much detail when I scale these down to map size, but I like the shapes and characters so far. 1/3 done! #jeremybrundageauthor #notquitelegendaryseries #curseddragonshippublishing

The light was fading, but the border fit the map is really taking shape. Patterns take a lot of planning, especially when you are inking them freehand. No, it isn’t perfect, but I prefer my shaky lines and mistakes. #jeremybrundageauthor #notquitelegendaryseries #curseddraginshippublishing

Starting a new map always begins with the backward basics. I start with the frame so I know the scale of everything I have to fit inside of it. #jeremybrundageauthor #medusaandmodsoddityodyssey #notquitelegendaryseries #curseddragonshippublishing #twelvetrialsofdoug

Mod looks pretty good. My initial sketch had a bit more uncertainty to it, but it also made him look too young. I’m pretty happy with this one. #jeremybrundageauthor #medusaandmodsoddityodyssey #notquitelegendaryseries #curseddragonshippublishing #twelvetrialsofdoug

Post curse Medusa. I’m designing the characters for a second map to go along with Medusa and Mod’s Oddity Odyssey. #jeremybrundageauthor #curseddragonshippublishing #notquitelegendaryseries #medusaandmodsoddityodyssey #twelvetrialsofdoug

Through a miscommunication while trying to find out present ideas, Rasmus interpreted my probing as me wanting to draw him something. I found a book for D&D on my bed with a note saying anything from one particular section would be good. I think I did okay. #jeremybrundageauthor

taking care of a few things in town when I noticed an oddly shaped rock on the sidewalk. Not sure exactly how it ended up where it did, but it was cool that I found it.

I wanted something to go with the books, but the map I originally drew was square, so printing it was cost prohibitive. I altered the shape to make it more common, and added the band with the titles to the top. I should have them on hand around the 8th of next month. #jeremybrundageauthor

The great sock haul of 2025 has happened. The number of Howl’s Moving Castle socks really inflated the numbers expected. And the package they came in was inspired. Love the Doritos, Mt. Dew, and other socks too. Thank you to everyone who added fodder to my odd little quirk! #jeremybrundageauthor

Wagga, wagga, wagga, wagga.

Guess who is going to Superstars? I’ll be signing and selling books for their bookstravaganza! I’d love to see you there!

Looking for a new book for the holiday break? Humor, heart, Greek myths, and footnotes await. Book three and a collection of more Not Quite Legendary tales next year! #jeremybrundageauthor #notquitelegendaryseries #thetwelvetrialsofdoug #medusaandmodsoddityodyssey #curseddragonshippublishing

I never trashed Shakespeare in any of my footnotes, but sharing this little footnote quirk with Tolkien makes me feel included. 😜 For more footnote fun check out the books listed in the hashtags. 👍 #jeremybrundageauthor #notquitelegendaryseries #twelvetrialsofdoug #medusaandmodsoddityodyssey

Guess what’s on TUBI? Yes, I’m watching it. #jeremybrundageauthor

I know it may be controversial, but I stand by this claim. #jerembrundageauthor

Had someone else that wanted a piece of One Piece art. I’ve got the linework done, and get to refine and color it now. I like how it is looking. #jeremybrundageauthor

I was trying my hand at drawing a Gibson girl a few years back. Not too shabby. #jeremybrundageauthor

Wait. Is that good or bad? I’m a bit confused. #jeremybrundageauthor

Wait. What?

Don’t judge.

Writers-we all have the sense of humor of a fourteen year old. If you’d like to join in the chaos and adolescent giggling feel free to do so here- discord.gg/YKFWsfR3k

Orange bark, homemade caramels, and peppermint bark.

Why did I paint myself a full sized Hobbiton road sign? That should be fairly obvious. It’s because I didn’t own a full sized Hobbiton road sign. Gonna put a post up at the intersection of a few paths on the property. Wouldn’t want kids to get lost at the crossroads. #jeremybrundageauthor

Candied orange peel. Just finished boiling and now it needs to cool for a few hours before we break it up. We make it from zested orange so the pieces are small enough to put in cakes, cookies, and scones. Perfect for baking and yummy and delicious on its own.

I’ve got to add a joke like this to my next Not Quite Legendary tale. #jeremybrundageauthor #notquitelegendaryseries

It’s a clever explanation but my editor still wouldn’t buy it. #jeremybrundageauthor

And now for some food related memes-

See how happy he looks! You go, little guy! Stack those Cheerios!

Going over a short story that inspired the novel I wrote with Kevin Pettway. The Maze of the Monarch series is going to be three books, and we just finished the rough of book 1. It’s going to be an amazing series. Side note-I’m pretty sure I have a screw loose. #jeremybrundageauthor

Are you naming a baby or coming up with characters for a dark fantasy? 🤨 #jeremybrundageauthor

My son Zander’s sketch of the day.

“At least Netflix paid me a good advance,” the writer said as he dried his tears with a crumpled hundred dollar bill. An author can have dreams, can’t he? #jeremybrundageauthor #notquitelegendaryseries

Both of these are really good writing prompts. Just in case anyone feels an itch to write but doesn’t know where to start. #jeremybrundageauthor #notquitelegendaryseries #twelvetrialsofdoug #medusaandmodsoddityodyssey

Behold the fabulous panda eating most excellent ramen socks! The image is also reproduced in smaller scale on the backs so as not to be obscured by inconvenient shoe placement. My friend Doug Montierth surprised me with them on Friday. Thanks Doug! #jerembrundageauthor
