i had even bought two copies of his books because i lost the first one at a bus stop lol..... 🫠 his book was genuinely useful for me though so i'd still recommend you take what you can out of it.

The genocide in Gaza has ended, and I found myself without a home, without a city, and everything around me past, present, and perhaps future is destroyed. I am trying to rebuild my life, and I hope you will support me, even in a small way.

"The Visit". The image shows a palace with a courtyard. In the courtyard there's a carriage led by two horses. There's a girl sitting in the carriage and her mother is standing outside the carriage holding the girl's hand. A chauffeur is sitting on the front seat. There are two white borzoi dogs. One is sniffing the feet of a man walking towards the front door. Another one is looking at the mother of the girl. There are two small Prague Ratter dogs. One is standing next to borzoi and one is laying on the ground. There is a woman in green with her son and daughter, a man behind them, an elderly lady and two young servants. There's a ginger girl in the background with a Russian Blue cat. There's a servant woman walking through the entrance arch holding a bowl with oranges and wooden barrel in her hands. The house in inspired by Elizabethan Baroque architectural style and the clothes for the characters is inspired by early 19 century fashion. The building is decorated with tiles and patterns. The artwork is mostly blue, mint and lilac.

"City of Dreams" commission piece for Ed Niedermeyer and autonocast.com
The artwork shows a scene with a city and an autonomous bus in the center. There are passengers in the bus. Some are sitting and some are standing. The bus has dome-shaped roofs. A man in a long coat is standing outside the bus holding a briefcase. Another man is selling some fake or stolen watch behind the bus. There are buildings and bridges in the background with a few more characters. All the characters are skeletons. There are some autonomous mini cars around the artwork. The artwork is densely decorated with patterns and tiles. It is mostly green, mustard, red and blue.

"The Duel". The image shows a scene with bright towers, Jinn that looks like a skeleton, the Queen and the angel from my previous illustration "Angel's Whisper" and chessboard floor with chess piece on it. The story is about the Jinn who can duplicate themselves to play mind games with the Queen. There are mirrors in the middle ground showing intrusive thoughts to hurt the Queen. One image shows the angel stabbing the Queen, second one shows the Jinn kissing the angel, another image shows the angel become a skeleton and the last image shows the Jinn try on Queen's crown. The Queen and the Jinn in their material form are facing each other. The Queen is holding a sword and the Jinn is riding a bright red horse. The floor looks like chessboard with red and blue chess pieces. The artwork has a frame stylized in a similar way as the towers in the background. The artwork is mostly dark with green, blue and red accents.

Illustration of a Cleric Lich for Pointy Hat's new book "Lich Codex". The image shows a decorated room with tiles and blue arch and the lich standing in front of the arch. They wear a decorated robe and a large golden crown. They have a vulture resting on their arm. Next to them is a devoted follower offering them a skeleton horse as a gift. Below them there are other followers looking at the lich with admiration.
