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
Rereading The Neverending Story, one of my favorite books probably. I suggest you put the cruddy 80s film adaptation behind you and read it!
This is a little portrait ofAtreyu, according to the book’s description. Might draw a couple of other things from the book as I get to them.
Finally finished this drawing! See it larger. It’s Isaac Dan der Grimnebulin, a central character of China Miéville’s novel Perdido Street Station. I highly recommend the book, it is fantastic in every sense of the word! I think I’ve been talking about it incessantly and for that I apologize. I’ll move on to another of his books very soon… The Scar has been recommended to me a few times.
PSS is a very visual book, and one that deals at length with some pretty outrageous creatures and inventions. After several false starts, I decided to draw something that focused more on the feel of the book than on any representation of any of those visual elements specifically. I almost feel that rendering the Slake Moths, or Mr. Motley, or the constructs would put too fine a point on them, and spoil the strange, psychedelic nature of them– for myself and for those of you who haven’t read the book yet!
More Lord of the Rings! Been a while since I worked on this every-character-in-LOTR project but I’m not done! Next I’ll get to some of the elves from Lothlorien I guess?
Yellow eyes like the ring, get it? Sym-bo-li-sm.
