It's quite possible to have a Black Friday from just shopping indy creators' wares and skipping the big stores.

Just saying.

Soooo close.
Pencil drawing with watercolour wash and white chalk and paint. A sun child sits at the foot of the stairway to the home of the gods, mourning her lost golden ball, stolen by the sea. Silly amounts of detail.

Aaand scanned.
It came together. I was a bit worried for a while there.
Sime illustrated this one so I had to bring absolutely everything I had, but also go in a different direction .
Colouring this and others soon.
Pencil drawing with watercolour washes, White chalk and White paint, also, if I'm honest, White gel pen. The sun child sits at the foot of the stairway to the city of the gods and mourns the loss of her golden ball. Truly ridiculous amounts of detail.

We parted for good
under streetlight
on a winter's night

if I dare to imagine
us trying again
our second chances
taste like cinnamon
in the wistful swirls
of imagination—
a hint of mulled
wine when your
lips meet mine

yet such reveries are
mere Christmas dreams
even when I whisper

Santa,
please.

MORE BABY SEROSH!!!

He was once so small compared to his older brother. Now he's much bigger than Fester.

These are courtesy of all those who pledged and helped Fairy Seasons hit its initial funding #goal.

As I get more pledges, I'll share more #cat pics.

www.backerkit.com/c/projects/m...
Two cats sit before a window that has black curtains. The cat to the left is a full grown adult and is black in color. The other cat is still a small kitten. He is a gray and brown tabby. They are sitting on a messy desk as they hang out. Him do a sniff. Or a sleep. A small tabby and brown kitten sleeps on a white blanket with pumpkins. He is very content and so smol.
