the only non-negotiable for writing is you have to read. doesn't matter if you're writing comics, prose, screenplays. read. read books, articles, scripts, comics. fiction and non-fiction. read lots of 'em and never stop reading.

Dear young artist that might be scared to try: Natural inclination exists. Natural talent does not. What they call talents are just skills, and skills are only a matter of time, repetition, and passion. Try. Keep trying. The rest will sort itself out.

It’s the first day of fall, libra season, the autumn equinox, Persephone’s descent and my birthday! 🎂 🍂🥳 Any shares of my art would be lovely and appreciated 💛

Black and white illustration representing Persephone during the autumn equinox. A frame surrounds the whole thing split in half in black and white. The black half of the frame surrounds the white section and vice versa.The middle horizontal section is torn in half like a piece of paper representing the division between the above worldand the underworld. In the bottom right corner are wispy swirling smoke lines going towards the centre with 3 bats of hades flying from right to left. In the bottom left is the symbol for Persephone. In the middle are two pomegranates one whole and one cut in half. In the top half on a black background is a bee in reference to Persephone’s name as “honeyed one” and the myth that they lead her to the underworld each year. On a circular medallion with narcissus flowers (the flowers she is said to be picking when hades grabs her) dropping petals around it. As the petals drop to the underworld they turn to black. In the top left is the Greek word for Persephone written vertically.

Altar prayer card for the goddess Diana. A rectangular card has a black border with parts of the Orphic hymn for Diana surrounding it as a border in white text. In the bottom right are twin arrows over a crescent moon representing her and Apollo. In the bottom left and top right are white outlined 8 point stars. Inside the border is a marble shockwave black and grey pattern with white outlining that forms an arch at the top with lining to look like columns on both sides. In the middle is a stag skull with painted antlers of a diamond and star pattern. Behind the skull are smaller 8 point stars and cloud ripples. Above the skull is a scraggly branch of queen Anne’s lace with small dots above. In the top corners are two constellations for Sirius as her hunting dogs and Roman numerals for 13 and 8 for the date of the Nemoralia festival.

Night Magic - Black and white ink illustration of a magic filled Victorian house with an ominous surrounding. of a shrub framing the left side and bottom of the page. In the middle is a Victorian revival house with a spire to the right and a porch. Over the porch is a bison skull and the windows are celestial stain glass. The roof is black with cosmic looking weather vanes. 5 Crows are flying overheard from the back to the front of the house and the sky is The sky is textured with swirling pattern of lines and with black dot stars
