Stillness falls
upon the world
with
#Magnanimous grace,
holding each season
secure,
binding earth
and tides,
governed by
compassion and
primal law...

Welp, once again it is #BandcampFriday where artists get to keep 100% of the proceeds from their sales!
I’ll be plugging other folks’ music today but I’ll start with ‘The Fisher King’. Released in January, it’s my electro-orchestral vision of hope.

Draft of a woodcarved skeletal monster. I added a foot.
official museum photo of the object, quarter turn profile small painted papier mâché figure of a chonky white / black / red dog with a bamboo basket on its head “They are used as lucky charms to pray for safe childbirth and the healthy growth of children. Safe Childbirth: Because dogs give birth relatively easily and have multiple puppies, they symbolize fertility and easy labor. Protection: They act as "guardian dogs" to ward off evil spirits and are believed to take on any physical misfortunes in place of the child. The "Basket-Wearing" Dog (Zaru-kaburi Inu) is a play on words: the kanji for "bamboo" placed over "dog" resembles the kanji for "to laugh", symbolizing a home filled with laughter and health (as the basket also helps "drain" away sickness).” (info via tokyo.yokai.tales)
i just love him ok

That's awesome news! 🎉
I'm enjoying being able to wear short sleeves again but it does feel like we jump from one extreme to another with the weather these days
Moments before flying away, a small yellow, black and white bird hangs nearly upside down from a spiky green pine tree branch. Its face is a mixture of white, soft black and dull yellow. Its beak is short and pointy like a tack. The top of its head has a vibrant streak of yellow down the center surrounded by a bold outline of black. Soft blue and green from the distant sky and other trees makes up 80% of the background in the photo.
Blue sky and pine trees created a lovely scene for this shot of a golden-crowned kinglet

Pssst, cool people use alt text, and [image] is the letdown of the century.

Drop something red 🩸🌹
A brilliant sunset with light rays beaming gloriously off in all directions from the center of the frame, silhouettes of the pines on the horizon which seem to stop the light from fanning out any further beyond its current arc. There is a bright streak across the sky where the clouds are catching the light, and a hawk or a falcon was captured in the frame seemingly following the streak like a path or a trail.
Another Phoenix sighting ☀️🐦🔥
Yeah, not a fan of going straight into the 80s... 70s is the sweet spot for me
Black text on a pale blue background that says: March is the awareness month for Long Covid, Endometriosis, and Brain Tumours. So to support those with these conditions, I've made my poetry book about chronic illness free this month. Get your FREE copy at https://Books2Read.Com/U/3RAgOY. There is an image of an ereader with the book The Inadequacy of Words on it, which has a pale cream front cover with a light blue splash and a line drawing of a face with eyes closed.
I'm delighted to announce that my poetry book is available for FREE for the rest of March. It will also be in the Indie Visible Charity Event 30th & 31st March.
I know how hard it can be to explain what life is like with chronic illness. Hopefully my book will help you feel less alone.
Close up photo of a bright golden yellow bunch of forsythia, delicate blooms with the petals drooping downward on a brown branch with dagger-shaped green leaves sprouting from its end. The blurred background of yellow is a plethora of other blooms on the bush.
Spring is sprung... forsythia in full bloom and expecting highs in the 80s next week. Hope we're not skipping straight into summer 😭🌱
Advice for authors new to bluesky (or perhaps new to social media in general?): randomly tagging me in one of your book ads, especially when I do not know you, is a good way to catch a block🤨🤷🏻♂️
Digital drawing in white ink against a black background of an armadillo facing the viewer and leaning protectively over a pangolin which is curled up on the ground. The armadillo's shell is a series of dots and the pangolin is made up of wavy dashed lines indicating their form rather than being realistic portrayals of the animals.
Illustration countdown to #WrensAria publication!

I am going to be annoying and boost this gofundme until the funeral next week even though every time I do I am gutted because I have to see the only father I have ever known face and know that he is gone.

Day 5 of #MutationMarch2026, and I'm having fun with some glow-in-the-dark paint, which caused the baphomet moth entity to not want to be seen in focus. It was more agreeable under more direct light.
Five stoneware figurines on a wooden table. They are medium dark and are two human faces, one generic mammal, one creature who looks a bit like a Batman goblin and one warty toad.
New things from the kiln! (Photo by my mom)
I had looked forward to painting these but once the mystery clay mix was done cooking they just look too good to fiddle with. So I'll wait a while and see how I feel about it.

A black and white sketch of the Varcolac, a werewolf-like creature from the Resident Evil game series. A hairy, crouched humanoid with a face like a wolf's skull stares at the viewer
A fantastical reptilian creature that resembles a mix of a tortoise and armadillo. It's very round with a rocky rust-colored hide.
An anthropomorphic otter, squirrel and mouse dressed in medieval-style clothing sit among rocks. Each one checks a weapon - a javelin for the otter, a sling and stones for the squirrel, and a dagger for the mouse. Next to each one is a bowl of food: shrimps for the otter, nuts for the squirrel, and berries for the mouse.
Ruby Rose from RWBY in the style of the game Bloodborne. A young woman dressed in an old-fashioned vest with metal clasps, leather pants, long boots and a red tattered cloak holds a worn-looking scythe with a rose decal on its blade

A streetlight framed in wet tree branches. The wet branches look much like a spider’s web
This is just a streetlight shining through wet sycamore branches but I think it’s cool as all get out. The things you see while waiting for the dog to do his thing.
