Friends: looking for recs for a Canadian artist doing detailed-SF style covers (ACE era, full SF, painterly). Not my project. Passing along recs. I'm drawing mental blanks, but if anyone has any good options, please send my way.

New Hulderotica! Blood Calls to Blood is out! Morgan and Amari set out to rescue Winter from Marrowmont. All they have to do is get past the Maidens and the Maw. 5.8k of vampire paranormal romance/erotica, for $1 USD from: www.huldrahouse.com/shop/p/blood... huldrahouse.itch.io/blood-calls-...

Cover image of a book called Blood Calls to Blood, written by Kaya Skovdatter. A male figure with long hair flowing in the wind, facing to the right, stands with blood pouring from their cupped palms that pools on the ground. Behind them is a sketched in, claustrophobic cityscape of tall buildings obscuring all but a thin strip of vertical skyline between buildings. The entire image lit glowing gold, loose embers dancing through the air. The title is overlaid against the cover image, its text matte white.

4-panel comic ft pip and gunko, two little white bunny people

1. gunko, smiling and holding a paper “i drew a picture of you!”
2. pip, takes paper and looks at it happily
3. the drawing is of pip making a little angry fave and saying “i am distressed!”. the text at the top reads “you doing things in moderation” with an arrow pointing at pip. gunko, off-panel: “do you like it?”
4. pip looking at the paper, making the same angry face as in the drawing
