Loose mockups for what I might like the Vattu book 1 hardcover and paperbacks look like. My current plan for this book (and the later Vattu books to match) is the most overtly “designed” of all of my books so far, and will require a whole bunch of extra illustration work! Looking forward to having some of this thing in print, finally…
The Order of Tales one-volume books are here, the signing is this Friday at Bergen Street Comics in Brooklyn. You should come! Might do a talk and a question and answer thing?? I don’t know.
Bigger delay on the arrival of the books than anticipated, but the process of sending out Kickstarter incentive orders begins TODAY.
My storage unit is full of 2000 Order of Tales and 1200 Rice Boy books now:
First pictures of the proofs of the new one-volume Order of Tales book. It’ll be for sale in April. You can read the comic here. Really excited about how good these look!!!
(Also Vattu is nearing the end of book 2 if you feel like checking that out)
I started a Kickstarter project for the Order of Tales book a few days ago, and forgot to mention it here! It’s about halfway funded already, which is VERY EXCITING.
There will be 2,000 books and it will cost around 12,000 dollars. There’s an awkward video you can watch at the link for more details. Thanks so much for supporting the book and helping me spread the word! You are all the best.
Redo, maybe, of that earlier drawing of a setting from A Voyage to Arcturus. Feel like I don’t really know what I’m doing working in grayscale!
God what a weird book.
Another illo for A Voyage to Arcturus, after Maskull’s arrival on Tormance and his discovery that he’s grown a bunch of weird new sensory organs. I think I’ve worked out how the art for this hypothetical illustrated book will work: gray tone over dense, textural inks, printed full bleed.
I few years ago I got really into the idea of illustrating and publishing an edition of the 1920 fantasy novel A Voyage to Arcturus. Just got a bit interested in working on that again, for some reason. This is a quick thing; maybe a chapter title page for “Chapter 3: Starkness.”
The entire book is available as a free audiobook through Librivox, and is in public domain.
Illustration from A Game of Thrones, for a zine. I got carried away and it took way longer than I wanted. Brush and ink.
I don’t think this is spoilery???
The Worm Ouroboros is a book nobody has ever heard of, so here is a character from it.
Something I want to do, someday eventually, is thoroughly illustrate one of these pieces of public-domain proto-sf/f literature… A Voyage to Arcturus is one of my favorites. Ouroboros is pretty tedious, but has some lovely bizarre imagery.
Hi everyone! I recently started a Kickstarter project to raise money for the new edition of the Rice Boy book. If you’d like to preorder the book, or a number of other cool things that are on the way, please consider helping out!
Thank you!
EDIT I forgot to link to the kickstarter woops
