“There was and there was not, In the fullness of time…” This is how we start—-more often than not: With a simple rhyme. On a mattress of verse We settle in to rehearse A wealth of stories Made up entirely of lies. Now the sunbird has flown From my hand to your own. -Classic Palestinian Fairy Tales by Sonia Sulaiman
A little something I've been working on...
Hi #booksky, do you want some fun speculative fiction books while also helping a trans woman reach her surgery funding goals? There are dragons and magic for the fantasy inclined, or a struggle against a fascist, hyper-religious empire for those who prefer sci-fi.
This week's story is "Boy Practice" by Jenny Fried. necessaryfiction.com/stories/boy-...
A still life of a statuette of Mary, spindle with wool, and a tube of paint. Made with watercolour pencils and markers in hot press arches watercolour paper.
I decided to break out the ecoline markers to push those values. I really like hire it turned out.
I could make it more refined, but thank you so much!

A rough mock-up for a book cover made of collaged art pieces and a few sketches. There are neon green pieces of text that read, "The Man with No Face: A Zach Webb Mystery." It is overlayed a red painting by Mark Rothko. Next to a text is the titular faceless man, standing in a blue suit with a rather large gaping hole in his face. Underneath him is the painting Nighthawks by Edward Hopper laid on its side. The blue-suited man also emits a spiraling black halo to symbolize his ties to something greater. Overlayed all of this is a black silhouette, representative of the main character in the story.
CW: eyestrain, body horror //
It's a bit of a sloppy cover, but this is going to be the project taking top priority for a few months: a Lovecraftian Neo-Noir with a black protagonist in an alternate-history U.S. where the supernatural is very, very real.

A collage header for a story titled 'On Account of Lost Adventures.' The foreground is a dark-skinned woman wearing a bird mask and a yellow dress. She holds a quill in hand and is scribbling into a red book. In the background, multiple vignettes can be seen. Beginning with the left side of the image, the upper corner contains an edited painting of a lady and knight interacting. The lady with a skull head and stained arms looks up to the knight, whose face is covered in shadow. Below them is a monotone illustration of a ship. Both sit next to a painted forest. Standing in front of the forests is a woman facing away from the viewer with a hand on her face as if she's in thought. On the right side is a painting of a man standing similarly, overlooking the ruins of an old building in winter, and a different illustration of a forest than the one in the woman's view.
Ever thought about if you could make the blurred lines between folklore and reality clearer? You share something in common with Ms. Quill, the MC for OAoLA. My #A #F #W for #BluePit! Where a woman interviews those who inspired legends.

Over an illustrated pattern of curling green leaves and vines, there are two figures cut out of classical paintings. One is a medieval man wearing wide, black robes and carrying a large leatherbound book. The other is a medieval lady wearing a green dress and a white cape, both trimmed in gold. The images are cropped so both figures' faces are obscured. Over the image, yellow text in a medieval style font reads: "You ruined my life, motherf**ker. Teach. Me. Magic."
THE GREAT x LE MORT D'ARTHUR
