A market stall with string lights bedecked in stickers, button badges, art prints, keychains, small-press books and zines and much more!
Thanks to everyone at #FantasyFestRijswijk last weekend for a fantastic final event for our ( @larty.bsky.social and I's) 2025 con season!
We're applying for cons as the applications come up, but we'll be keeping you all up to date!
A picture of an artist alley booth with an announcement for the next market, 'find me at Fantasy Fest October 11 + 12 2025 ' and location 'P11 artist ally' written in cloud shapes with sparkles around them. In front of the picture is an illustration of a cute sheep holding a pencil up in the air.
I will be in the artist alley at Fantasy Fest in Rijswijk next weekend! ✨

B&W-image of Berend (the guitar player of Sunfire) in profile, arms wide, smoke swirling around him, with a strong light source from the top-back so that his arms throw shadows to the bottom-front.

B&W-image of the hurdy-gurdy player of Waldkauz. She is wearing antlers. Two light sources, top-left and in the background. Hair, antlers and the instruments are mostly visible as silhouette. On the left a microphone-stand with branches as decoration.
Come with me into the mystical world that is painted in wonderful sounds by the German band Waldkauz (Fantasy Fest Rijswijk Feb. 2025 (NL))!

B&W-image of bass player of The Sidh with three multi-beam spots behind him. He has his hand raised after just finishing a song. Light gleams off the bass, body and face of the player are almost fully in shadow.
That moment of silent tension, just the second after the song finished...

For those who are new, asides illustrating and writing, I also decorate mini-#swords (about 15 cm). I painted the hilt, adhered the #jewels and added #pendants. They are technically #Hairpins!
These will be for sale at #fantasyfestrijswijk
