Relaxation tips: - picture a quiet forest - picture yourself wandering in the gloom - picture finding a mossy little cottage in a clearing - picture moving into that cottage and becoming the reason it's considered haunted

Don't stop searching for joy. Track it down if you can. Look in cluttered bookstores, historic theaters, haunted playgrounds, and misty moors. Take joy out for tea, adventure, and gentle mischief across the land.

My coworker bursting into my office to declare "I have bones for you!" Only got better when she returned with said bones in a crumpled Jimmy John's bag. From the abject horror on my volunteer's face by this exchange I assume he's never to return.

It's ok to listen to the little voice in your head. The one telling you to slow down. The one telling you to follow witch-lights through misty woodlands to the court of the ancient forest gods, draped in moss and gloom.

The world is not out to get you. That's paranoid thinking. There are, at most, three to fifteen people out to get you, working day and night on your downfall. Relax.

“I am him!” I shout, pointing at my doppelgänger.

Laughter is the best medicine. Crying is the best tincture. Cackling is the best diet. Muttering is the best ointment.

It's been a while since I shared a snippet, so here's one from my Patreon site. I'll be using that site as a launching pad for fresh content in the future.....

Wasps in the Wall sounds like the name of a metal band...and a problem I'm having.

My boys (another of Jake Shandy's character cards for the preorder campaign). I LOVE the lighting.

Sometimes the order of Reddit posts more or less answer the question at hand. And fuck that senator.

Patron: "You have to take those rainbows down. They're inappropriate. They're not God's rainbows, there's no indigo." Coworker: "It's okay. They're not gay, there's no pink." Me: "...what?"

It's been a minute since I posted a snippet here -- I still do it often on my Patreon site. Here's one from a week or two ago, for anyone interested! Happy Saturday, everyone. This is an extract from a series of comedic "round diary" entries that may appear before every chapter heading in TMC.

Nyx, Goddess and Personification of Night. The offspring of Chaos, said to be the first deity, living at the ends of the earth who even Zeus fears to displease. #myart #art #greekmythology #greekgoddess #nyx #goddessofnight

The neighborhood dogs are barking but that's okay, they're the only ones that could hear my scream.

Uranus, Primordial God of the Sky and Heavens, father of the Titans. Dipping into some general Greek Mythology this time around! I have a goal to do portraits of Gaia and the Titans as well. #greekmythology #greekgods #uranus #Ouranos #myart #mythology #gods
