The thicker black lines made me think pre-Renaissance Byzantine art immediately. Love it.
Bask is perfect. And Paprika should acknowledge this. These are my feelings. 😍
This is exactly why we need to be organized in our defense of the freedom to read. The book banners are organized & we'll funded. But they are also unpopular. Our numbers can beat their money

Yay it’s pub day for HEAVY ARE THE STONES that my friend @1cdaigle.bsky.social co-wrote with JD Barker. This one is wild (and brutal) with virtual reality used as torture, weaponized drones, and a BAMF protag who’s willing to take the fall if she can take evil down with her.
