💙📚🛸 Organizing my books a little, but my stock onhand didn’t result in a tidy complete row or hardcovers. And the overs on the left end are out of date, having been upgraded on the market by redesigns. But one of my paintings loom in the back, and those bookends have been with me all my life.

Ooooh, book 2 in the Daughter of Erebus series had a working title, but I may have come across a better one. How’s “Daughter of Erebus:Upgrades” sound. Upgraded? Hmm. Nah. The developing plot as I write it involves Sarah being forced to adapt her synthetic body to protect her loved ones, ….

Here's what I published in 2025, should you be the sort of person who nominates obscure Canadian weirdo authors for awards of any sort.

2025 Rachel A Rosen Award Eligiblity. Blight (The Sleep of Reason Book 2), Novel, What If We Kissed While Sinking a Billionare's Yacht?, Antifa Lit Journal Vol. 1, Short story. There is a cute black cat looking beseechingly at you with an arrow posted towards her that says "gratuitous cat for visibility." A stack of books are in the background of an obvious canva template.

Just goofin around with a #kermit doodle and a recent pic of Jupiter. NASA picked that blue, not me. #doodle #art ? #muppet

Joseph Picard @josephpicard.bsky.social · 04/10/2025

Saturday morning brain fizzle. Know how #Kermit flails his arms while getting offstage at the beginning on the #muppetshow? And maybe this has #Halloween influence in it, or The Thing, Cookie Monster, or all of the above. Or the Pipes screen saver. #art #doodle I need to do more painting.

Joseph Picard @josephpicard.bsky.social · 03/10/2025

Ugh, I need to get more into #bluesky and less FB. It keeps festering. I should post more here abt my #books, writing in general, my #acrylic #painting and… the cat. And my site www.ozero.ca, I guess. Ugh. The site thumbnail mentions AI, but it’s sci-fi, not the ai we have problems with today. Ick

I've been doing some light redesigns to parts of my website, www.ozero.ca, to upgrade some graphical elements... like these bits- The top 2/3rds of this represent #scifi #novels that are already out, and the bottom 1/3 if for the upcoming Daughter of Erebus series.

I just just feeling a lil bob-Ross -ish yesterday. His technique for reflections doesn’t work so well with dry #acrylic, but i mashed together a passable way. #art #painting #landscape

Just sketches of Regan and Alisia who I used to draw a ton, way back when. If ink em and colour em in photoshop. It’s been a whiiiiile.

Joseph Picard @josephpicard.bsky.social · 14/06/2025

Inspired partly by the cover of the Gorillaz album “plastic beach”. If the middle part of the structure was gone. And the top was a little #castle instead. And a lil man is zapping it up. Because. #art #acrylic #painting #fantasy #scifi

Joseph Picard @josephpicard.bsky.social · 05/06/2025

Ok, a #dragon, maybe the same fella as the last painting, is visiting a #castle flying a flag of its favourite colour. #acrylic #fantasy #art #painting

Dracolitch over terrain and ruined (but kinda operable) city. #art #acrylic #fantasy #dragon #postapocalyptic Huh. BS crops this pretty dumbly… oh well.

Joseph Picard @josephpicard.bsky.social · 24/05/2025

Ok, by request, I redid my recent “okay bay” #acrylic #landscspe #painting on a bigger canvas. Overall, this one has its pluses and minuses compared to the original. #art

030

Joseph Picard @josephpicard.bsky.social · 21/05/2025

“Okay Bay”. It’s…. It’s an ok #acylic #landscape #painting. Dang. I forgot the lighthouse I was thinking of a little. I resisted adding a monster or something. (Yaaaawn) #art

0231

Joseph Picard @josephpicard.bsky.social · 18/05/2025

There. Finished. Again. Each #dnd #beholder sees itself as the only perfect, true beholder. They’re all different, so any fanart of a beholder, including this POS painting, is 100% accurate. This one, among other things, appears to be translucent. Could be a spell. Ask it. #art #painting #acrylic

Joseph Picard @josephpicard.bsky.social · 28/04/2025

#acrylic #landscape #art #wip. Done for today, I think. Even if it kinda looks like jello.

Joseph Picard @josephpicard.bsky.social · 06/03/2025

I finally took the plunge and added Tali onto this background. #masseffect #art #acrylic

This canvas finally found its painting. Behold, a spoiler for mass effect. Reapers are always best observed from a distance. #masseffect #art #acrylic #underwater

My first try at waves. Looks nice, kinda looks like birds or mountains instead of waves. Pfft. #acrylic #art

Joseph Picard @josephpicard.bsky.social · 28/02/2025

Normandy drive core final. Ok, the character insert was cancelled for this thing cuz I would have sacrificed a lot of details I liked- do I fleshed out the corner that was going to be entirely used by 1/4 of the character. #art #acrylic #masseffect #scifi

Joseph Picard @josephpicard.bsky.social · 20/02/2025

Progress. Good enough to be considered done… but I haz plans. #art #acrylic #fanart

Joseph Picard @josephpicard.bsky.social · 14/02/2025

Ok! Illium w generic anime femshep. This thing has been a journey. There’s a billion things I’d do differently if I stared from scratch, but as always, it’s a learning experience. #art #acrylic #masseffect

Joseph Picard @josephpicard.bsky.social · 12/02/2025

My painting in progress has some serious issues. I have a plan to fix the major issues. For one- her hair is limp, lifeless, and is coloured badly for the environment. The armour could use some environmental hue as well. This cavas has been a roller coaster every step along the way.

Apologies to anyone who’d tried to use the books2read links on ozero.ca- Many were incomplete! Like the Lifehack link that was ignoring the paperback, HC, and audio versions! Fixed now! 💙📚 Resume the nano-zombie hunt! books2read.com/u/4XdKZ1
