I thought I came up with a really cool idea for alien molluscoid fish but then I realized I had just reinvented the snarks from serina. Anguish.

Up to this point I’ve only consistently been able to draw faces and heads but not much in the way of bodies. Part of the issue is finding a way to draw humans that meshes with how I draw animals, which is very much line-art forward and with sharp edges (not easily conveyed with bluesky’s resolution.

One of these days I’m going to sit down and figure out how to draw human characters in more detail than just messy sketches. And that terrifies me

Got writers block on describing the last two birds, will share what I wrote when I get over it

Books I’m Querying Though I’ve written four books over these last twenty years, I currently have two polished, beta-read, and heavily revised novels I’m querying: A near-future, high-concept Frankenstein retelling, and ...

Per advice, I've compiled the books I'm querying into a single page.

Agents and acquisition editors, my two books:
🫀Near-future Frankenstein retelling (my MFA thesis) in the vein of Never Let Me Go.
🐉Character-driven, literary fantasy with a soul-eating dragon baby.

I’m joining the war on the Florida scrub jay on the side of the Florida scrub jay

Yes, everything you’re heard about Florida (and its politics) is true. It’s fine. I’m fine. Fine fine fine fine fine. Just more stuff to throw into the wood chipper of my brain and pretend is “funny satire” or “weird fiction” when it comes out, I guess.

Goddamn, at 300 now! To celebrate, I will draw any (non-sexual) request you have for my heronsona - do taxes, get bludgeoned by heavy objects, anything really.

If it’s not too late, could I be added to the sff list?

More musings: my style atm is line art creatures and lineless everything else, like those seen here. Now I’m uncertain if this style would work well in a book, especially one with buildings and tables and such. I suck at drawing straight lines though. Much to consider.
