Breaking Bottles
The apartment looked like the seventies was trying to deep tongue kiss the eighties while hanging out at a party the nineties put together for the new millennia.

One year I'll plan and execute the most amazing Halloween cosplay that bards (not Ed Sheeran) will write songs about it for generations to come. But it's increasingly looking like it's not going to be this year. I'll be dressed as a "sexy person who doesn't have the time or money for this" again.

Pen, watercolor, black & white charcoal pencil.

Another featured piece from the Spooky Pants book.

A man in a sweater stands with his hands on his hips looking out of a large window with the curtains open. Things aren’t looking good outside, reader. A massive winged demon is emerging from the clouds as dozens of little ghosts and bone demons rip through the sky. On the ground below we see townsfolk running through the grass. Our man in the window is in no mood for this. He lets us know, “Oh, I am in no mood for this.” His dog looks out the window as well, wagging its tail. 

Fantasia (1940) inspired drawing. I think I could’ve gone a little heavier with the chaos outside but we’ll try again with fresh drawings this October. I like how the clouds turned out. Trying to balance my sloppy lines with more detail can be tricky but I think we achieved a good result.

If success were only measured by monetary gain, I would have to say I'm more successful as a musician than a writer. Not because I've made a fortune in piano gigs, not by any stretch, but it's still more than I've made as a writer. #writing #writingcommunity

I can spend hours worldbuilding, researching, crafting the perfect plot, dreaming up characters and twists and deep themes and none of it -- NONE OF IT -- will be as successful as if I just write 'Heated Rivalry but with minotaurs.' #IndieAuthors #Writingcommunity #Romanceauthors
