And my personalized physical copy of @drslayton.bsky.social 's Backwood Banshee has arrived! With stunning art cards by @jakeshandy.bsky.social Can't wait to finish this book! The first few chapters already have me biting my nails for Adam and friends!

Yesterday was the first day of fall, which means Lady Persephone has returned to her husband Hades in the Underworld. It seemed right to post these portraits of her as both the goddess of spring and the queen of the underworld. #myart #greekgoddess #greekmythology #persephone #hades

The third card for the Backwoods Banshee preorder campaign is all for @micahdraws.bsky.social. Art by @jakeshandy.bsky.social booksareawesome.net/backwoods-ba...

I've a feeling Adam does not like cameras... Adam (and a bonus Vic) from @drslayton.bsky.social's The Adam Binder series-- fifth book Backwoods Banshee out so close to Halloween. (sorry I took too long on this one...)

Adam Binder! 😁

Before I go offline for a long day in the word mines, have a Seamus! Character card #2 for the Backwoods Banshee preorder campaign is done (thanks of course to Jake Shandy). The King of Coins is back in October, and he's got an offer Adam can't refuse! booksareawesome.net/backwoods-ba...

Because I love going all in on little details— the back I designed for the Binder Family Tarot Deck. I went with earthy colors in a nod to the Binder family’s connection with nature magic, a blackberry bramble motif, and the center symbol is the letter B rotated to make a spiraling pattern.

My favorite boys are coming back… the next book in the Adam Binder series, Backwoods Banshee, by @drslayton.bsky.social is coming out October 27th from @blackstonepub.bsky.social and if you preorder you’ll get some art cards by me! #myart #digitalart #adambinder

Another addition to my Greek Mythology series! Erebus, Primordial God and Personification of Darkness. Along with Nyx the Goddess and Personification of Night, Erebus was the one of the first beings created by Kháos. #myart #greekmythology #erebus #darkness #greekgods

Here's the final character art card for the Silent Paths of Night preorder campaign. I'm really excited about this one: the Admiral and Tempest of Tethis, who I affectionally call the Murder Lesbians. Preorders are still available at: booksareawesome.net/book/9798228...

@jakeshandy.bsky.social has finished the first of the preorder cards for the Silent Paths of Night and I am in love with his take on Raef. To get it, and the others, along with a canvas map, preorder from Books Are Awesome (hardcover or paperback): booksareawesome.net/book/9798228...

I had to go back and redraw Odysseus’s Bow in a more era appropriate design. #theodyssey #Penelope #PenelopeofIthaca #epicthemusical #myart #fanart #epicthemusicalfanart #digitalart #greekmythology

There's still time to preorder Redneck Revenant from www.booksareawesome.net if you'd like it personalized and with a copy of the character art cards by @jakeshandy.bsky.social!

My boys (another of Jake Shandy's character cards for the preorder campaign). I LOVE the lighting.

I really don’t need to watch K-Pop Demon Hunters again…

Hera, Queen of the Gods, Goddess of women, childbirth, and marriage. Also 100% tired of the shenanigans of her husband, Zeus, but still looking fabulous and slaying. #greekmythology #greekgoddess #hera #myart #epicthemusical

Hephaestus, God of Blacksmiths, Forges, Fires, and Volcanos. From his great forge, Hephaestus labors to create magnificent works for the gods. #greekmythology #greekgods #Hephaestus #myart #epicthemusical #epicthemusicalfanart

Want a preview of @jakeshandy.bsky.social's character cards for Redneck Revenant? Here's the first one, Annie Binder, whose knock at the door on Halloween night starts things off with a spooky bang. Hardcover and paperback preorders from www.booksareawesome.net will come signed and with the cards.

Give your boy some dopamine. (Hit that follow button I draw pretty things)

Apollo, God of Music and Light Well, actually, Apollo is the God of a LOT of things; oracles, healing, music, arts, light, archery, knowledge… He’s considered one of the most important and complex Greek Gods, as well as the most beautiful. #myart #greekgod #apollo #epicthemusical #greekmythology

Nyx, Goddess and Personification of Night. The offspring of Chaos, said to be the first deity, living at the ends of the earth who even Zeus fears to displease. #myart #art #greekmythology #greekgoddess #nyx #goddessofnight

“Don’t thank me friend… good luck!” Hermes, Messenger of the Gods! Another one inspired by Epic: the Musical— I did a lot of research at various depictions of Hermes in ancient art and then ran it through my aesthetic. And here he is! #epicthemusical #fanart #myart #hermes #greekmythology #greekgod

Uranus, Primordial God of the Sky and Heavens, father of the Titans. Dipping into some general Greek Mythology this time around! I have a goal to do portraits of Gaia and the Titans as well. #greekmythology #greekgods #uranus #Ouranos #myart #mythology #gods

“Keep your friends close and your enemies closer!” My take on Aeolus from Epic the Musical! Given that Aeolus is voiced by Kira Stone but still referred to as a God with male pronouns I imagine him as an androgynous, mischievous youth playing games with mortals. #epicthemusical #fanart #myart

“Get in the water!” When I designed my version of Poseidon with his tentacle water hair I immediately got the idea for a moment like this in Get in the Water. #epicthemusical #epicthemusicalfanart #poseidon #Odysseus #myart #getinthewater #epicthevengeancesaga

This drawing I did a few years back is doing numbers again, so why not repost it and share it here? Pride Month may be over but David King is gay all year round, baby. #deadbydaylight #davidking #myart #pridemonth

I posted the wrong version of that fanart so I had to delete and redo the post. Clearly I need more caffeine.
