Hey, you. Yeah you. Let me fill you in on a not-so-secret piece of information...

I'm working on a crowdfunding campaign for The Dark Side of Super's audio book, with the help of Adler Audios on deck to narrate!

I could use any love and support!

from my garden, lately
#marigold #milkweed #bees #nasturtium #mushroom
A bright yellow and orange marigold flower. The center is fuzzy and light orange, with 8 orange and yellow squared petals. Dark green foliage is behind it. A group of tiny clustered pink and white flowers of the swamp milkweed plant. A bumblebee has landed on the flowers. A pair of nasturtium leaves, small green leaves that are circular with a few small indentations like dinosaur toes. A tiny firefly bug is resting on one of the leaves. Two mushrooms seen from above. The type is unknown but they are flat, circular and and pale colored with thin black stripes that radiate from the center.

Are you HYPE for The Backwards Knight? If not, and I am biased, you should be.

But, you know who's not biased? The esteemed Stephen Howard, author of This House Isn't Haunted, But We Are. Gracious enough to both read an ARC and provide the loveliest of blurbs.

#thgink is coming, #booksky.
Image of a paper wrapped book partially torn to reveal part of the cover for The Backwards Knight, sitting next to a stack of parchment, all on a faded wooden-planked surface. Parchment reads: BLURB Are you excited for The Backwards Knight? You should be. Here's a blurb from Stephen Howard, author of This House Isn't Haunted, But We Are. "Fascinating. Charming. Compelling. Siadak has crafted a true fantasy gem."

The Dark Side of Super is available right meow almost everywhere books are sold. Including signed copies directly from me.

A story told in eleven parts that all weave together the big picture.

Are you ready for dark, gritty, realistic takes on power?

I applied to a zine called "Original Classics" where the idea was drawing your OC in a classic art piece. I was so looking forward to it, so when I was rejected I decided to go ahead and make my piece anyway. 😀 This is based on "The Lament for Icarus" by Herbert Draper.

#Art #Azra #OC #DarkArt
"The Lament for Icarus" by Herbert Draper, but different. A pale man with long black hair and large black and white wings lays sprawled across a chunk of rock, speared through by large black arrows where rivulets of red blood run from his wounds. It is night time so the piece is majority blue, snow on the ground, with the forest in the background.

Happy Year of the Snake!
digital illustration of a dark purple snake with gold stripes coiled around coral-bell, leaf-like leaves. The leaves are coloured in autumn shades, ranging from oranges and golds to burgundy and rust. The illustration is from a top down angle against a plain, off-yellow/gold background. The aura is peaceful, snake coiled and calm looking.

If you’re afraid to write your book because you think its content stands no chance in the coming climate, Remember that banned books (and books victims thought the world would never see) are the only honest window we have into some of the darkest moments of history. Write the book. #booksky

I know that usually if you hang around long enough you "get it" eventually, but here's some quick explainers about different types of posts going around for art. A lot of new people reply to art trains or halt the train by not copying text, so here's the difference!
Art train vs art share for now Bluesky users with visual aids. The left has an "art train" post that says "You are “putting a train car” on the train. Do not reply. Instead, use the quote repost to keep the train moving! Copy the last person’s text." The center reads "You are “putting a train car” on the train. Do not reply. Instead, use the quote repost to keep the train moving! Copy the last person’s text. TAG SOMEONE if the train calls for it or else you will end the train! “Tag yourself if you want” won’t cut it." the last reads "You are sharing your art. Following the rules of the art share (read them all!), reply with your art and comment/repost other’s art." It gives notes in the posts as well such as noting similar text for the art train, and then the specific set of rules for an art train with tags and art share.
