Liv, the main character of Guild Mage by David Niemitz. As a costume designer with a strong interest in historical fashion, I looked to the Renaissance for inspiration. Liv’s outfit is a mashup of 1490s-1560s England and Italy.

When I close my eyes and lightning strikes a mile away, I see the distinct formations of the jagged roots of the of the lightning’s bright silhouette behind my eyelids. Each bolt has its own distinct structure and pattern. It’s surreal.

Last night’s sketchbook page: I doodled loosely in a regular writing pen, and then gave it a water wash.

Loose and messy ink drawing of a woman’s face with a water wash over it for a drippy and melted effect.

What I hope is the final draft of the map for the Guild Mage series by @davidniemitz.bsky.social set for publication in July.

Last night’s sketchbook page expressing some emotions I have a hard time finding words for. It’s been a rough couple of weeks.

I inherited this painting from my grandparents. The artist’s signature appears to be Jack, but I can’t read the last name. Is it Caring? I think they bought it in Ogunquit, ME in the 70s or 80s. I contacted few galleries up there, but they seem to be seasonal. Any ideas? #seascapeart #ogunquit

Does this look like a roadkill opossum to anyone else?

I feel this in my soul. I’m cleaning out my basement and so far I’ve made two saved runs, and filled the back of my small suv with another load, and it’s barely made a dent. I want to free myself of all the clutter but it’s so hard.

What is this? Why it’s a deer, of course. An extremely close up view of the inside of its skull, but still a deer. Sometimes it’s better to get lost in the wondrous details and to not worry too much about what it’s “supposed” to be.

I could illustrate magic cards, right?

Great choice of phrasing, kowtowing.

Yeah, I’m coming to peace with the idea that it will be time to say goodbye to a lot of the social media I have used for years.

My new celadon green gown debuted at the Twelfth Night Ball at Wayside Inn in Sudbury, MA. It’s a little plain, but nothing some outrageous trim and maybe a brooch wouldn’t fix.
