RIP. Sparrow is a large part of the soundtrack of my childhood. The way I write and talk is hugely grounded in calypso. When ppl ask what influences my sffh writing it's people like this giant and oral folktales from Trinidad. Thank you, Sir for all the joy. 🖤 trinidadexpress.com/news/mighty-...

it's happened again

the 'say the line bart' meme, and bart is saying 'spent all day on a warm up drawing', a familier pitfall for the average artist

Hey, I've been working on this article for a while. It goes deep into the theology and history of the Catholic church, particularly how it's reacted to potential opportunities to actually change and the caveats it always puts on its progressive-seeming statements. Please consider reading it.

being back in school is doing something to my brain. i'm handling classes pretty well all things considered and i still have time to work on a bit of art each week. i feel more confident in trying new things and i have more energy. i thought it would be the other way around!!!

Cirice Gray @In Her Image out now! @ciricegray.itch.io · 26/08/2026

Very excited to debut this cover for In Her Image by @royale.bsky.social! @benjanun.bsky.social and I are very happy with how it turned out and how pleasant they were to work with. You can preorder the upcoming novel version on my itch~

Cover of In Her Image by Cirice Gray & Maria Ying. Madalithea, a white-haired, red-eyed woman in a black-and-gold dress, is having her face held possessively by Persephone, who is standing off screen. Madalithea's expression is rapturous and vacant against a background of shattered blue and yellow glass. The image has a very wintery cast.

The advice "Don't make your first project a overambitious sprawling epic" is good. The problem is that I don't think people can really learn that lesson before they ignore the advice and just do it anyways. Sometimes you have to throw the baby into the pool to teach it how to swim.
