My Whispers of Truatra universe has many short stories/novellas looking for homes. See the thread below and let me know if you might know of a good home: 11k words - Boy framed for a religious taboo, leads to him murdering someone and fleeing. Spends rest of story trying to right his exile.

The corporate machine demands every spoon I have and whatever ice cream would be scooped out with them and offered back to me is melting

Update on where I’ve been: Please help me if you are able, even a share. Thank you. ko-fi.com/sparrouu/goa...

There was a piece in the artbook that just wasn't sparking joy. The storytelling was lacking and the visuals were too similar to a few other pieces. So I found the old sketch it was based off and redid it. 2019 sketch <> Artbook piece v1 <> Artbook piece v2

Going through multiple stages of grief that I probably won't have time to do the Whispers illustrations 100% in oil to meet the June deadline.

I'm building my own world 🪶 And you can learn more about it @whispersoftruatra on insta. Here are some value/color studies for the upcoming book! QRP with your world!

Finally got to make a start on the overpaint for this guy

Some recent oil paintings. One on the left is a commission for the local bakery (yes I got to eat the cake afterwards) and the other is my Christmas gift to my mother-in-law so don't show this to her.

I haven't had the capacity to keep up with moderation lists for a bit, but this one is really obvious, so I'm stealing some energy from Future Me: a list for the extremely obvious wave of inauthentic accounts following today's newly-created US gov accounts bsky.app/profile/did:...

I like to think pacas are an example of convergent evolution with another small forest-dwelling herbivore: eohippus I mean pacas even have little hooves! Would South American rodents re-evolve into horses given enough time? I'm prepared to run the experiment myself if need be

SO much of the cultural and artistic nostalgia that society chases was just art made when people got paid to do it. Lavish movie posters made by human artists, video games made by people without sixteen different investment companies breathing down their neck, movies made by studios taking a chance.

Goal for the foreseeable future: figure out why my first-person flowery fiction (what I lovingly call my mental-illness fiction) seems to click but not my speculative fiction. I want my sci-fantasy stuff to get out there too 🥲

Our Fall 2025 Issue is OUT NOW! Featuring new fiction, poetry, translation, creative nonfiction, and visual art. Read now on our website, linked in our bio!

I suspect my burnout has been especially bad lately partly because I recently ended an 11 year and a 9 year hyper fixation. I need something new to get absolutely obsessed with, go through romantic turmoil with, and ultimately seek out as a comfort for the foreseeable future.

Help bring to life a scary fun horror ttrpg that you can play on Halloween! Great for telling stories around the campfire or having "rituals" with your "friends" Back now on Backerkit at ttrpg.link/BlackFlies

Today I had a photoshoot for a very fun commission. Pastries and produce is all Maine made!

There are no words for how evil and wrong this is, and the media’s acquiescence should never be forgotten. These families deserve peace and protection. They deserve rights and respect, citizenship or no. They’re human beings. They’re our neighbors. They are us.

And another page, with incredible showing of @gorangligovic.bsky.social’s and @haematinon.bsky.social’s art powers 🙏🏻❤️‍🔥

Watched BSG multiple times as a kid, watched TNG and DS9 as an adult. It's funny seeing how Ronny D Moore sure does, uh, have a type of story and character he likes to write.

bans on art is never about the art that you don't like, it's about the art you DO like. what makes you think the art you like is safe? because you're following the rules? there's nothing gross in it? the fact you make art at all is what's gross, kid. you aren't safe unless the art you hate is.

Had a great time playing Black Flies on Friday. Good dice system where your rolls determine how much scene-building agency you give away to your fellow players. Definitely check it out

Hey, so something I've learned while getting more involved with our union is that it is very hard to convince people to go from inaction to extreme action. In fact, it is difficult to go from inaction to a /small/ action. 1/2

So the Disney/Hulu/ESPN bundle is $29.99/month. For no reason at all, I'd like to point out that you can get our entire 2025 lineup, or all 4 issues of THE SKULL & LAUREL in eBook, for less than that. No reason🖤☠️ store.tenebrouspress.com/products/202... store.tenebrouspress.com/products/the...

I appreciate alt text, not because I have any vision impairments, but because I am a nosy bitch who wants to find out where that character is from and what their name is

Alright, I've entered the next stage after color roughs: underpaintings! All 115 pieces will have roughly blocked in colors/textures with acrylics + gouache. Then I will finish them off with oils with final remasters in digital. Breaking apart the process this way has made the artbook less daunting

Get a copy of this short story collection to satisfy your craven need for early-autumn spookage!

TEN DAYS to raise the remainder of $2500 for the African Translation Project! They're at 16% The plan is to translate three books from African authors! This portion is to lock in the third book Let's do some good! 🎉 🎉 🎉 ko-fi.com/africantrans...

This morning, I officially finished all the color mockups. Gonna take a few days to breathe, then it's time to dive into underpaintings. Stay tuned for more!
