I’ve been trying to write and get this posted for the last three days and it’s now 9 pm lmao 🫠 Here’s my blog for November! www.tumblr.com/mattievictor...

This is your occasional reminder that, if you like Neil Gaiman's stuff, but can't bring yourself to like it anymore for justifiable reasons, Tanith Lee is the author he is credibly accused of extensively cribbing from, and her work is on Audible, and AMAZING.

Gruß vom Krampus! As per my krampusnacht tradition, here's this year's drawing of the man of the hour #illustration #Krampus

It’s been a while since I posted my Animal Crossing Dream Address, I’ve been playing again since the announcement of the January update! I came super late to AC:NH so I’m excited to hopefully play with friends who come back for the new update! #acnh

New pottery is now available! ✨✨ Some of the pieces pictured have since found homes, but there are still some friends available! shop.lioninthetrees.com/collections/... #art #pottery

I had some time recently to test out a few new techniques for some red paper drawings. I drew on cardstock and took the suggestion a few folks made and implemented some more colors! More to come soon! #sketch #posca

Hey @bsky.app @safety.bsky.app @support.bsky.team please unsuspend Goran immediately. Goran is a great person, a great artist, and the whole anti-Palestine thing youre on is one of those "Ford funding Hitler" disasters you remember being shocked and dismayed by when you learned of in middle school.

Wow, the premise of Catriona Ward’s new book sounds intriguing…

Recently read and reviewed a book on GR that so many people wildly misinterpreted to a frustrating degree, it was so hard not to be snarky in my own little review because I… kind of have a hunch as to why it was so misinterpreted and I’m trying to be Kind. But it is Hard.

I've gotten really good at painting.

I LOVE the Cozy Grove games! I played the first one back in 2021 and recently found out the second one, Camp Spirit, had already been released and I started playing it back in August. I thought it was time I finally did some fanart! #cozygrove #cozygrovecampspirit

“Omg it’s the Friedrich Nietzsche mental breakdown horse movie” was not a statement I expected I’d hear myself make tonight

My copy of Arab Folktales by Inea Bushnaq, which is out of print, had a section of pages fall out 🥲 I *think* I can glue it back together… I was hoping to finally finish reading it this year and I… picked it up to read and a piece fell out……….

I was today years old when I realized Paul Bunyan was basically an American daidarabocchi. Legend claims both of them built mountains and dug lakes and rivers.

I originally meant to have this ready for the first of May, ha! Only five-ish months late, it's the next in my Summerisle Procession series of lino prints - It's Holly! Available from 12:00 (GMT) on Wednesday... 👁️ slipperyjack.bigcartel.com

Browsing the community choice awards on Good Reads, I have not read any of these books AND I still have 5 more books to complete to meet my 15 book goal this year 😶

I had the honor of making this painting for Guillermo del Toro's Frankenstein.

I got my Mouse Game (Winter Burrow) and I played it for most of the evening… I love it!

Mouse Game TOMORROW

Not my scrapbook, but loose adhesive photo albums I found in storage. I decided that whoever invented self-adhesive photos albums should be arrested… these were important photos, like my brother’s Christening, and I had to spend hours painstakingly removing them from the album sleeves 🫠

Mouse Game Wednesday

I encountered one of the weirdest lags in #FFXIV since I first started in playing in 2021 during last night’s DDOS attack. Has anyone else seen something like this?? My sister @sweetsparade.bsky.social said it’s a CreepyPasta and I have to agree.

Delighted to announce that my short story, "Not Yet, Little Witch" will be appearing in Flame Tree Press' first Romantic Fantasy anthology! It, along with 22 other #romantasy short stories, will be available in March of 2026!

Another hand-drawn mini! This time for an old-but-new character I started playing in another campaign: Long Lankin, swashbuckler! Some of you may remember this character, I’ve drawn him over the years but never had a place for him. He has at last found his purpose and I’m having fun playing him!

I think candy corn is a treat best left in the nostalgic memories of childhood and not consumed in adulthood

Bluesky deleted all of Sahar’s accounts so she asked me to share this. Odai is running a high a fever because his injury isn’t healing. Sahar is hoping to get him to a clinic but she’s almost completely out of money. The matter is urgent chuffed.org/project/saha...

Your art isn’t bad just because it’s not selling right now. We’re in a recession and people don’t know when they’re gonna eat next, nobody can afford fun things because the economy is crumbling. It’s going to be hard a while.

It's a couple days late, but I did a halloween version of my Nekonyancer 🎃🐈‍⬛

I saw Marge with Piccolo's cape and I couldn't stop my hands from moving.

I wrote the thing! My October blogpost is up! www.tumblr.com/mattievictor...

Beware the Grimalkin… now in color! Last year my black and white illustration sold before I was able to scan it, so I decided to do a colored version this year. I hope your Halloween is wonderful and filled with just the amount of spooky and whimsy. Happy Halloween! 🎃🐈‍⬛ #halloween

It’s Halloween week! I have a special drawing that I made especially for Halloween, but I think I’ll save it for the day OF. 🎃 A spooky forest for your consideration, an illustration I did last year. #darkart #darkfantasyart #halloweenart

I’m tying up loose ends on N*tflix (now that they’ve introduced paid tiers) and I finished Cabinet of Curiosities tonight after I started it 2 years ago. The last episode made me cry… Guillermo Del Toro and Jennifer Kent make a great team I think!
