Oh boy, have I been there. This was beautifully written and hit me right in the heart. π€
Love this one. π€
A poem reads: GOOD TO SEE YOU Sometimes hello, is really goodbye. A moment stolen, a moment released. There and gone, just like we are. All of life is fleeting. A blink between blinks. We, by our actions, create meaning. We, through deeds, lay our tracks. Those tracks, become pathways. Of connection. Of separation. Footprints in the snow. How I wish ours traced together. -A.R. IVANOVICH
Good to see you.

You and me both. But I canβt wait to see how this one turns out! π€β¨
Thank you! I'm right there with you. So much writing to do... and on the rough days, it just isn't always possible. I'm trying to remind myself its okay if I need health days sometimes.
Watch, the moment we're feeling better, the pages will fly! π

I feel this... I'm sorry it's been so much lately. I've been in a similar boat. I hope the pain subsides and you feel better soon.
War should be illegal.
Fascism should be illegal.
Billionaire greed should be illegal.
I've been absent lately. Sorting out some things in life, but I'll be back with more art and writing soon enough! π€β¨
Seriously! π
This is who runs this account.
I just watched this earlier today. Popped up on my YouTube recommended. I'm glad to see it here too. π
That's beautiful! I love that our characters and worlds spark on opposite ends of the spectrum.
I'm ready. βοΈ
I love it! π€β¨
"how do you create and come up with your characters?"
I world-build, chasing a plot vibe, until my characters step out of their circumstances to introduce themselves.
Being surprised by the actions of my characters is one of my favorite things about writing.
I see I'm not the only one...
I'm with you, sister.
The photograph above was taken on the sidewalk in Boise, Idaho.
Compassion does not abide brutality.
Justice does not abide injustice.
In 2026, are we willing to let our humanity slip through our fingers? Are we going to allow greedy, violent, hypocrites to destroy all that we've collaborated to build?
We deserve better.
We WILL make things right. Together.
This is beyond politics. This is moral. This is archetypal. This is what stories warn us about. This is what history warns us about.
Imagine if ICE's budget was put toward opening offices to expedite citizenship. Imagine if our housing, schools, medical systems were funded... we would ALL thrive.

I make art. I don't talk politics on social media. I support causes in person.
It is NOT political to demand that our government stops invading, abducting and executing people.
It is NOT political to demand dignity, compassion and fair due process for ALL people.

Oh yay! Thank you so much. I appreciate your support and I'm so glad you liked it! I worked really hard on the cover... your words mean a lot!
More is on the way... β¨
Oh yay! A fellow scratch artist! I love this piece you made, it's gorgeous! π€β¨
This past weekend I read 2 books. First was The Starlit Road by A. R. Ivanovich a wonderful new YA fantasy. The second was Frost Maiden: The Origin of the Snow Queen by J.P. Reedman a short novella that was an easy enjoyable read. I would recommend both to my fellow fantasy lovers. #booksky
You and me bothβ¦
Hell yeah, pre-order! I'm in!
