The third Project Eryss story, "Watch the Stone Shine" is fully written and edited, and will be posted soon as the illustrations are done. The fourth story, "Small Talk" is on its second draft.

Oslo Pride parade! Lots of colourful outfits, flags and costumes; even bare boobs! Me in my plain Pride toga, made out of a spare flag... I almost feel underdressed. Still... We're here, we're queer, we March every year!

In honour of Norway's national day, here is my summary of what our eight-verse national anthem is about, translated and made understandable. (Normally people just sing the first verse, or the first, seventh and eighth verse. It's very rare for all eight verses to be sung.)

1: We love this country. No, you don't get it, we REALLY love this country. Okay?

2: We've had lots of awesome kings in the past. They did all sorts of cool stuff.

3: But it wasn't just the kings who were awesome. Commoners and farmers were warriors, even our women kicked ass.

4: Okay, we've never been numerous, but we made up for it with guts and determination.

5: We went through some pretty hard times, but that just made us even harder and more determined to beat the crap out of our enemy.

6: Then, to our surprise, we discovered that our enemy was actually a really nice guy, so we kissed and made up and now we're friends.

7: Thank God that's all over, huh?

8: Yeah, so like I said, we love this country. Don't mess with it, or we'll kick your ass.

Why's Harry Potter trending?! ...teaser image for the HBO series? And it's a stupid pic of Harry from the back in Quidditch robes? Sorry, I don't see why this is anything to cheer for. Even if JKR HADN'T been a massive bigot, this series would still be a pitiful cash grab by a desperate studio.

Came down with norovirus, but while I'm feeling a lot better I'm self-quarantined for the rest of the week, to make sure I'm not contagious anymore. Spent yesterday re-reading Astro City, and...I'd nearly forgotten how GOOD that comic is.

Ooooh, I'd nearly forgotten I drew this. But the Misfits were awesome! Easily the best part of the Jem and the Holograms cartoon AND comic series. (And Synergy DID have mind control powers in the comic series, even if she used sound and not light... but acceptable breaks from canon.)

Checking out Strip Law on Netflix today! So far it seems pretty good... I really needed an adult animated comedy that wasn't Bojack Horseman. Or worse, Rick and Morty. I have a super-low tolerance for nihilism as of late. So far it seems pretty good. I like the character of Sheila.

So I'm writing up on Westwood Tower, which featured prominently in the Welcome to Paragon Bay story, and I finally finished the drawing of the tower. I'm not very good with city landscapes, which is why it took me so long... but I'm pretty happy with the results.

I suppose Valentine's Day is as good a day as any to finally launch the second Project Eryss story: Holly Blackthorne and the Silent Choir! It's not a romance, but it does feature the rescue of a hypnotized and kidnapped girlfriend... and sex. And naked monkey-themed superheroines.

Holly Blackthorne and the Silent Choir - The Art of Dina M

The erotic story of Holly Blackthorne, Witch for Hire... and the villains who hypnotized and kidnapped her girlfriend.

The second Project Eryss story, Holly Blackthorne and the Silent Choir, is done! My Patrons have had access to it for a week already, but I'll release it publicly next week. In the meantime, here are three of the story's four illustrations (the fourth is a little spoilery, so not including that).
