book’s out! hospital gothic, more claustrophobia and slippage of reality, more medical minutiae than most people need, a sinister whiteboard. get it where you get your books but here’s an option:

A promo photo of The Graceview Patient. The hardcover is stacked on the left, and also face out in the center. There’s a sharps container to the right, two decorative medicine vials, a craft syringe filled with food coloring, some alcohol prep swabs, and a package of cotton gauze.

RIP Drew Struzan - a man whose talent and imagination etched onto so many minds throughout the last 40+ years.

His art & posters are some of the first visuals I think of when I think about cinema - an invitation to watch these stories and worlds.

A massive loss 💔

Finished reading book no. 2, @karenlucia.bsky.social's A Second Life Worth Living. I have so much to say about it, it's so good!

Will need to sit down and put together the content I've pulled, hopefully the baby sleeps early and well tonight so I can be on the laptop 😅 Anyway, 1 slot still open!

Marie Sinadjan @quillandcrib.bsky.social · 4d

As my way of thanking the indie writing community for supporting me through the years, I'm offering free content/quote pulls for my birthday! Preference for BIPOC or disabled authors + SFF books on the shorter side. Turnaround will be 3 weeks - I have a baby so I can't be as fast as I used to alas 😅

It's #PortfolioDay! ✨🔆

I'm an illustrator working in board games, would love to get into ttrpgs and book covers - www.jacquidavis.com

For fun I write and illustrate about a fantasy world with @kovah.bsky.social

And baby has her own little nook already!

A drawer compartment with various children's books

Marie Sinadjan @quillandcrib.bsky.social · 17h

This is just the main living room bookshelf. There's another in what's eventually the baby's room, a trolley also in the living room, the space beneath the TV in the living room, under the coffee table in the living room, and a little shelf on top of the cabinet next to our bed 🤣

Hey I have a book out today which makes another completed trilogy!
But I'm super duper stressed at work so I've got no time to make a fun post.

If you enjoy dark sci-fantasy, trauma/healing, found family and weird and wild worlds, check out my Inner Universe series!

Hey #PortfolioDay!
I’m Eren, fantasy illustrator and character artist. I’m interested in working in TTRPGs, TCGs, games and book covers.
I have done character design and illustration work for Critical Role and other AP shows.
Thank you!🙏

🎨 www.erenangiolini.com
📩 [email protected]

Illustration of Critical Role’s Caduceus Clay and Mollymauk Tealeaf with art nouveau influences.

An illustration re-interpreting the painting “Call to Arms” by Leighton. Jester and Fjord are leaving an elegant building after getting married, followed by Caleb, Essek, Beau, Yasha, Caduceus and Veth, as Kingsley stops them on the steps, seemingly telling them about something important and pointing to the side.
He’s asking them to join on a new adventure or maybe fight an incoming danger.
All of the Mighty Nein are dressed in very fancy clothing, Jester has a beautiful white gown with pink embroidery. Every’s face is either shocked or excited.

In the background, we see various buildings, one showing the “Lavish Chateau” sign.
Many NPC, guest characters and easter eggs are hidden in the image.

Illustration of a blue-skinned horned character mid-spell, in a room with pillars and bookshelves, at night.

Illustration of a knight and his pegasus at sunset.
