It was such a treat painting the stained glass style cover for this upcoming edition of "Pray for Him"!

(I am looking respectfully at those sprayed edges 👀)

Devouring Fortune book cover. Features a woman with folded arms on the cover. Her arms are crossed. She has straight black hair and her skin is light brown. She has a haunted expression. She is dressed in a white priestess outfit with wrapped bandages up her arms. Behind her lurks a monstrous skeleton whispering in her ear. They are surrounded by red flowers.

I'm happy to say today is the day for the book cover reveal of DEVOURING FORTUNE! @jeleynai.bsky.social did an incredible job on the illustration, I'm in awe.

For fans of Tanith Lee and A.K. Larkwood, about bargains gone wrong.

That thistle is so gorgeous 😭

Have been sooooooo sick the past few weeks but I was finally tattooing again last week and had the opportunity to do some awesome work. Soooo much fun

My apologies for no alt text on this one folks—I’ve been dead online due to time constraints. So just trying to fit this post in fast

submissions — neon hemlock

We have only 61 stories submitted for WHAT ELEGANT STARS so far. I suppose a lot of folks will submit in the last month, but that still seems low. Though the theme is more specific than some previous ones, so folks are less likely to have anything ready to go.

Illustration of a raven swooping down to land on a gnarled branch of a corkscrew willow tree. It has yellow leaves. There's a full moon in the background and magical sparkles around the bird.

To celebrate the kickstarter I want to share another sneak peek of the art I did for @taplingzines.bsky.social 🏳️‍🌈 ✨🏳️‍⚧️
My focus was on two people who share a deeply personal moment that would have been hidden from most others. To be unapologetic yourself is something powerful and a show of resilience.

Square social media graphic with a Backerkit header that reads "Ending Soon" and a caption beside that which reads "One Week Later". The body has issues 8, 9, and 10 of New Edge Sword & Sorcery spread out against a starry sky fading down into a red, sandy world.

These stamps feature queer love symbols, from flowers to poetry. Here's the history behind this art: 🧵⬇️

Hey artists, what does your workstation look like?

(A bit of a cluttered mess but *I* know where everything is and where it goes)

a banner for my solo exhibition. There's a crop of my oil painting "The Little Nun," featuring a child nun, a sunset scene and a rising moon, mountains, cactus, and bats. It reads "Lauren Raye Snow: EX VOTO" Opening Reception First Friday, March 6th 7-10pm, Soft Opening First Thursday, March 5th 6-9pm. Both events are free and open to the public. At Flight Gallery, 112R Blue Star San Antonio, TX 78204. This event was made possible by the City of San Antonio Department of Arts & Culture.

I haven't shared much about my art here on Bluesky for a while, but this week my solo exhibition will finally open after over a year of work.

And they're done! I'm so happy with how this turned out. I'm starting to feel a little more confident in being able to produce finished illustrations in traditional media, not just studies. 😊This is watercolor + gouache., with a little bit of color pencil and pastel for final touches.

2020 full color pet portrait A pair of adventurers descend to an old vacant stump and well at the bottom of a dense dark forest. The old wizard made it first and rests against his staff. The younger rogue hangs from a vine.

Almost all of the early bird books are gone, just a few spots left!!

a collage of three of my digital illustrations Left : Cover illustration for "Out of True" by Rien Gray. Two hands are holding onto a disintegrating sword, a dark forest in the background. Middle : A digital illustration of two people holding hands (actually dancing but it's not clear in the painting). One hand is pale and blueish, with long dark claws. The other hand is more human-like and veiny, with some deep scars further down the arm. There's also a frame made of gnarly branches, with the image of a crow, a snake and the crescent moon engraved in the wood. Right : A digital illustration of hands clutching a sword, surrounded by vegetation. One of the hands has a stylized dragon tattoo on the wrist.

A crop of an illustration of two Anglo-Saxon era lesbians. One is embracing the other from behind, burying her face in her neck while the other smiles joyfully, they are adorned by a background of various patterns inspired by the era.

An illustration of two masculine figures together, one sitting on the other's lap with a hand on the other's chin, their eyes locked together. They wear fancy period clothing like a powdered wig and corset, one specifically dressed in very gender-nonconforming attire. A magenta banner at the top says "We've Always Been Here: A queer historical zine" and a blue banner at the bottom says "launches in 24 hours!"

Just 24 hours until we launch on Kickstarter!!

Remember: If you want early bird discounts, they will only be available for the first day (and while slots are still available).
