My latest is a hard reality check about the absolute abyss between the gentry-marketed "recovered" Asheville and the actual, struggling city most of us live in. Evictions restarted before the water was even back on and city hall's far more obsessed with spying on locals than aiding them.

Finally took the time to read @katleyh.bsky.social's graphic novel THIRSTY MERMAIDS and it blew me away! I know it was nominated for a bunch of awards but I can't believe we're not constantly talking about this book. So fun, so confident, such a satisfying meal of a story in 250 pages
Panel of the three main characters from Kat Leyh's THIRSTY MERMAIDS as the central one, Pearl, casually says "Well, up until a few days ago, we were mermaids!"

Hey, folks! If you're an art director and you're putting together a "this is what we're looking for" sheet that includes the work of someone who you didn't ask to do the project but who the people you're asking know is probably available? It's a mighty bad look

Danai outfit doodles. Lore in alt text. #art #worldbuilding
The Danai are the oldest of the tribes and kingdoms of Lynamar. Located on the Great Ring's northern outer rim, where their ancient ancestors first crossed the Ice Road and settled the lands of the horned gods. Here, among red leaves and carved stones, the people are wild, and the waning memory of old breathes yet.

This realm is shielded from winter's breath by the hearth-fire of the Warrior-Mother. It is said that it was once as green and fertile as the southern lands. But over the eras, the Mother's flame has waned. Now, the old forest is withered and golden, never knowing summer or winter.

Banshees are a legendary death cult of women who dedicate themselves fully to the Mother's warrior-face. Whether defending their home or avenging its loss, they sweep through battlefields like a fierce whirlwind. Their ancient copper scythes, whistles, and boar-faced war-masks still faintly sing with an immortal's wrath. Hollow-mouthed tree-women often accompany them, awakened by the banshee's keening.

A Little Night Music 1990 Restored
This is a restored copy of the Sondheim musical "A Little Night Music" which was broadcast live from the NYC Opera Nov 7, 1990. It is based on the wonderful Bergman film comedy "Smiles of a Summer Night". Some musicals like this one are operettas in disguise and are suitable for the opera stage. The video has been restored to look OK at HD, but it will still look a little soft with some slight sharpening artifacts. The cast includes Kevin Anderson, Beverly Lambert, George Lee Andrews, Sally Ann Howes, Daniella Ferland, Regina Resnick.
