One does not simply carve a pumpkin. Hand-painted Eye of Sauron on a real pumpkin 👁️🔥No airbrushing, just brushes and blending. #LOTR #Halloween #Art #BookSky

Pumpkin painting of the Eye of Sauron from The Lord of the Rings book trilogy. A near black coloring with a gradual gradient of deep reddish orange from the bottom of the pumpkin, prominently highlighting the glowing eye. The pumpkin sits on a wooden bench in front of plants and a mini rock waterfall in the background. Traditional art and brush techniques were used to create the effects.

Reveling in the silence before the patter of rain, mourning the silence after. #7SyllableSentence #Photography #BookSky #Nature

Stylized black and white photo of thick fog on the forest hillside after the rain, matching the quiet mood of the poetry it’s paired with. A narrow waterway is just visible at the bottom of the natural landscape of pines and evergreens.

Still thinking about that crow question from last week? The short answer: her town is next. The long answer, how he chooses her and what it costs her, is what I'm writing now. Pieces of it go to The Circle before anywhere else. evcaldwell.com/TheCircle #Booksky

“I should have let her stay hidden,” in light text written over a wall of black crow feathers.

What would convince an ancient crow to offer his last soul bond to an untrained mage? He won't let her town be next, but using her magic will leave her visible to whatever is ravaging it. More of this world goes to The Circle first evcaldwell.com/TheCircle #Booksky #Art by @geekycleary.bsky.social

A big beautiful bear’s head tooth mushroom growing on a perimortuous maple tree. The green undergrowth climbs around it on all sides, and yellow summer sun infuses the woodscape. All photos by me

A decade ago, I found an empty, lit carnival in Vienna, strangely suspended in time. That same quiet strangeness lives in the book I'm writing: an ancient crow, an untrained mage & a soul bond that could save her town or expose her to whatever is ravaging it. 💙📚 Art & lore evcaldwell.com/TheCircle

My friend and I rode the Ferris wheel to the top, played old carnival games, and ate chocolate pastries under the blinking lights. By the next morning, the carnival was gone. I still think about it sometimes. [2/2]

More than a decade ago, I found a carnival in Vienna lit with strings of colored bulbs. It was open but nearly empty. No music played from any of the rides. It should have felt haunting. Instead, it felt like a place slightly out of time. [1/2] #BookSky #AmWriting

You have a choice to engage, share or otherwise enjoy any of the creatives who post everyday who need support and are anti genAI. So many are trying and are overshadowing by the doom posts and it’s silly. You can talk your self into worst times by letting it be the default.

Writing Tip: There's a reason why Sherlock Holmes explains his deductions to Watson. If he didn't, we might assume that the writer is just making up deductions out of thin air. If you plan on making a super smart character, you still have to show your work. #writing #writingtips #Booksky

Book cover for Emily Wilde’s Encyclopedia of Faeries by Heather Fawcett. The title is in a whimsical serif font surrounded by simply colored illustrations of flowers, mushrooms, and the occasional animal looking bones poking through a circular portal.

It's #NationalMushroomDay and Halloween season so I gotta repost this. One of my favorite things I ever drew. #art

Digital drawing with an extreme close up of a fanciful interpretation of four shaggy inkcap mushrooms which are black toward the bottom of their caps but transition to more of a light gray toward the top. They have slim white stems and there are three tiny white, glowing comma-shaped ghosts hovering around them.

Can’t believe this is unpopular opinion, but the twist at the end shouldn’t be announced before you read it. A gut punch is more surprising and hits harder when you don’t announce it first. Let readers be blindsided by the plot twist—I beg you. #Booksky

Hang on as best you can. Take care of yourself. Take care of others if you're able. Sharpen your antlers, put on your best traveling cloak, disappear into the forest, and find other creatures like yourself gathering together in the gloom.

THE WITCHING TREE (2019) Acrylic on Illustration Board - 6" x 6" An accidental shape on a scrap of illustration board evoked a sort of Lovecraftian tree. The board originally had a figure sketch on it from the work I did for Lucca Comics & Games. 1/2

With long curls of blonde hair flowing down her back, a naked woman throws her head back and her arms out in reverence while standing in front of a demonic looking tree. Behind her the bare knot of wood shoots out roots and branches wildly. Set randomly in the gnarly wood are eyeballs with squished and oblong pupils.
