Last week was a great week for Sword & Sorcery mail and also for books with covers (and illustrations) by me! @newedgeswordmag.bsky.social novellas including The Barbarian at Dream's End by @stevewestenra.bsky.social ...and Shatter the Sun anthology from @neonhemlock.bsky.social !

Felt like posting something from the archives! Deer are very special to me, and here's one I dreamed about years ago. His antlers were an impossible tangle that moved and knotted in crazy 4 dimensional ways. #art #furry #furryart #deer #dream #fantasy

Knight and Midsummer eve (happy pride 🏳️‍🌈) [ #art | #oc | #knight ]

It's Pride again, and time for another queer-themed bundle! At a time when the community is once again under threat, we felt it was more important than ever to showcase the work and the writers that celebrate us. storybundle.com/pride

Oh the usual: bored and/or depressed deer with a sword. For June's sticker! (and a print soon....)

I tell people at cons that to stick with drawing or any kind of art, you need two things: 1) have so much fun you can’t stop 2) train yourself to have a high frustration tolerance If you have 1 and not 2, you won’t improve. If you have 2 and not 1, it’s a miserable chore. Then I show them this:

I wish you a Happy Pride. If you can't have a Happy Pride, perhaps you can live vicariously through a trans woman who murders the same genocidal sorcerer 28 times in a row. newedgeswordandsorcery.com/product-cate...
