Life drawing sketches. Charcoal on paper. Half hour and ten minutes.

Congratulations to the winner of the Reality Rift prize draw, who chose the Breel portrait. Breel went off to her new home yesterday. If I get to Eastercon this year I'll hang the others in the art show. Right, on with book 3. amzn.eu/d/eHmkk6Z www.newconpress.co.uk/info/book.as...

The collection so far. Deluxe edition, hardback and paperback. A big thank you to everyone who bought the books and Newcon press who believed in it enough to want to publish it. Book three, the final in the series, is in the works.

If you bought the Deluxe edition of Reality Rift this is the video you've been waiting for. Congratulations to the winner, commiserations to those that didn't win this time. A big thank you to everyone who bought the book in whatever format. youtu.be/YnDz8xAlYwI?...

www.facebook.com/share/r/1ARN... Strong publication list from NewCon press this year:)

Author copies of Reality Rift arrived today. There is one deluxe edition left available from Newcon press. Prize draw for an original charcoal drawing for all buyers of the Deluxe edition will be Saturday 24th Jan. Thanks to everyone who bought a copy. youtu.be/H74RvqWoFSc?...

If you enjoy my sketchbook stuff and would like to support me I've scanned a sketchbook which contains drawings and notes on each page. ko-fi.com/s/ff6e8d88bb

If you ordered a hardback or deluxe edition of Reality Rift, rest assured, it's on t's way!

The party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command. And if all others accepted the lie which the Party imposed-if all records told the same tale-then the lie passed into history and became truth. 1984 Orwell

So the Youtube algorithm threw this up. A couple of images I wouldn't have included if I'd been asked. It does plug the Dark Shepherd novel so I shouldn't complain. youtu.be/zoUw0XF7Rpw?...

Reality Rift is arriving at people’s doors. Thank you Mr. Jalco for the very nice endorsement.

Just watching the Electric State on Netflix. Oh dear…

Enjoy the festive season fellow Blue Skyers. Have a good one. See you on the other side.

If any American friends were thinking of buying a signed hardback of Dark Shepherd, please consider doing it before 22nd August, after which NewCon press will suspend shipping to the US due to new tariffs. Paperbacks'll still be okay though. www.newconpress.co.uk/info/book.as...

Some of my recentl sci-fi images. I love putting these things together, keeps me sane, stretches my imagination (and patience) and genuinely relaxing. A heartfelt thanks to all the other artists out there who suprise, delight and inspire me every day. #ScifiArt #Lightwave3d #BlueSkyArtists
