A week ago today I cycled up Mont Ventoux (1910m alt.), the “Giant of Provence” in Southern France, taking the route from Malaucène instead of the “classic” one from Bédoin because greater stretches of it lead through forest and it has nicer views. khorazirart.wordpress.com/2026/08/10/m...

“Tol Eressëa” (watercolour, 2026) One of six new artworks I’m currently working on for a book about the history of the Elves to be published by Legendaria Ediciones.

Sneak peeks at what I’m working on for @painlandweek on Tumblr. Feels good to be drawing Payneland again after spending the past weeks mostly working on Tolkien commissions for an upcoming book (which are fun, too, of course).

Longer bike ride yesterday (79km, 1050m of altitude gain): rode up to and along the range of hills between Hesse & Northrhine-Westphalia along Rothaarsteig, a long-distance hiking trail. Last time I was here, the hills were covered with firs. Drought caused by climate change and beetles killed them.
