Writer, Artist, Scholar. In that order. Hopefully. Not actually a half-lit space rock, just a human. (This is my mostly-official and mostly-serious account, mostly writing-focused. For art and casual chatter visit @thecrescent.bsky.social)

I finished reading Caro Claire Burke's "Yesteryear" today. What a phenomenal book. It's a literary accomplishment the like of which every writer dreams to make one day. It's both fresh and entertaining, and wise, bold and powerful. Everyone should read it, and if you haven't yet - do #booksky

The full cover image I made for this one: (more insights on the creative vision in the alt description) #art
A white-on-black illustration of a hand reaching out towards the moon against a starry background. The titles read: "Dreams Of Stardust - A Short Story by Crescent Moon". The moon in the image is an exaggerated and cartoonish-looking crescent emitting light around it, and everything in the image including the stars is drawn with small, white lines. The hand reaching out emerges from the bottom as if rising from a grave but also as if attempting to touch the moon but not reaching it. The human hand resembles that of God from Michelangelo's "Creation of Adam"; it's index finger is breaking and disintegrating, turning into the same kind of lines that make up the stars in the cosmic background of the image. The author's signature is handwritten.

'So fragile and strange a thing it is, Life, 'said Aster as they gently smiled, teary-eyed. A moment had just passed in their own that for the longest time they dreaded, then expected, and - just now...

Here is the full cover image I have made for this piece: (I will post any official illustrations I make here too whenever I can)
A childish-painting-like stylised artwork depicting a tree on a flower-covered hill, swaying in the wind, with a clear, sunny sky and a rainbow in the background, accompanied by a flock of white birds flying off into the distance. A sad figure sits against the tree in its shadow, facing away from the sun, with a single black bird flying overhead.

A quiet residential street, overlooking some trees and greenery in a fairly small, peaceful town. Callahan enters, coming out of his house and whistling a tune. He  stops for a moment to smell...

If you're slightly confused, this is my account for writing- and projects-related posts as well as any announcements and more serious discussions, opinions and posts. I have another account on which I mostly post my artworks, behave more humanly and talk about more casual topics. Hope this helps!

Hello Bluesky! I'm Crescent Moon, a (still emerging) writer, artist and scholar from Poland with big ambitions and not so many finished projects yet but I'm hoping that part will change soon. I've been around posting artwork sometimes, and now I will be posting here about my other projects too!
