The Queen of the Hierarchy, Lady Niniri glows in this crystal encrusted gown! Sponsored by my Patreon, I am currently running the A Distant Soil novella “Soulless” with original prose and illustrations, as well as financing an upcoming audiobook, and the finale of the graphic novel series..

I’ve been serializing my A Distant Soil novella Soulless at my Patreon, and here is one of the illustrations. I’m quite happy with how it is moving along, and very happy with the response! For now, I am concentrating on A Distant Soil, finishing a long list of commissions, and taking on the occasional pinup or cover. I am also planning several new graphic novel projects one of which is in contract right now. But I have a multi-month window just for A Distant Soil work and I am keeping my head clear for it. Tying up all the loose ends of this story is very complicated!

Looking mighty dandy! This was a commission for a Patreon patron. I will only be accepting commissions from patrons for the year 2021 while I concentrate on finishing the final A Distant Soil graphic novel, and my other graphic novel projects. Two in the pipeline! Also, I have a short story coming in Sensational Wonder Woman #1, which I both wrote and drew! Available as a digital comic in January, and in print in March. Have a safe and happy holiday.

Was thrilled to get to do this painting for Marvel Comics! Star Wars: Dr Aphra! You can get this variant cover from your local comic retailer. Here is the info! Snow Glass Apples by Neil Gaiman with art by me has gone into a second printing. It has sold out through Diamond Distributors, which services comic shops. It will not be in major bookstores until Tuesday, August 20. If you want a first print, be sure to be at your Barnes and Noble, or other mainstream bookstore to get it as soon as possible! I believe the second print will be available in a few weeks. People have asked if I am going to have any for sale in my bookstore here online. That will have to wait for the second printing. I ordered what I thought were enough copies to make it through three shows, and sold out in the first 24 hours of Terrificon! The only copies I have left are reserved for Patrons on my Patreon, and they are already spoken for. If you want to sign up for my Patreon, it’s HERE. If you want to preoder through Amazon, you can do that, but unless you ordered some weeks ago, you will be getting the second printing. Naturally, I strongly encourage you to check your local bookstore first. I will be appearing at DragonCon and New York Comic Con! These will be my last appearances for awhile as I have too much work to do and not enough energy for travel. I will also be appearing on panels and signings and in Artist Alley. Assignments which had been pushed back are back in the game, and I just got a new graphic novel contract as well. Between all that and A Distant Soil, and some juicy commissions, there’s just no wiggle room. I am extremely grateful and happy for all the support and the incredible reception to Snow, Glass, Apples!

As most of you know, I am putting all my effort into new work and much of that is featured on my Patreon. When I am finished with (most) of what is on my plate for other publishers in March (ish) A DISTANT SOIL becomes my primary assignment again for the first time in 5 years. I cannot tell you how excited I am and grateful to my Patreon supporters for making this possible! I have a major announcement coming in about a week as well. This portrait of Seren was drawn as an incentive for a Patreon supporter.

Found quite a lot of A DISTANT SOIL drawings during my big studio cleanup in April, like this pretty sketch of Jessica. I have a new computer set up: my old system was so old I could no longer access this website. While I continue to do most of my blogging at my Patreon, and new pages of A DISTANT SOIL are going up there before anywhere else, I’ll be adding art here periodically. Thanks for stopping by.

Aeren’s portrait in a jewel encrusted frame next to a bowl of glowing crystals, and some fresh picked lily of the valley! It’s not just a pretty picture, I’m testing this post to make sure the updates on the site are working. My graphics computer, which needs an older OS to operate my stuff, cannot upgrade to the newer browsers, and the old browsers do not support this website. What a bother. The computer I am working on now is on its last legs, so it is time to buy a new one. Oy. I have a PATREON page and will be selling some art over the next couple of months on ebay as well.

Private commission for a Patreon supporter. Patreon supporters at top levels get one character portrait per year. I am also posting pages of A DISTANT SOIL at the Patreon as they are completed. Of course, Bast has dark skin but I do not apply tone sheets to commissions.
