Daily bunny no.3464 knows who to blame
A bunny stands in her living room, where a black cat has knocked two colorful vases off a table onto the floor. Other vases are around the room,  part of her grand collection. She looks angry at the cat, who is grinning.

TWO WORLDS (1985)
 Oil on canvas - 36” x 22” 

During one of the Ethiopian famines, I came across a magazine photo of a desert filled with a multitude of crude burial mounds extending off to the horizon. I was struck by the implications of the image... #art #booksky 🪐📚
Seated upon a flat rock with one knee up, a naked man with scraggly white hair and long beard pipes a tune on a human femur. Flesh colored, his ears are bat-like, long and furry, protruding up from the side of his head. An open, upended pouch spills coins down on a blindfolded owl flying past. Unseeing, the owl clutches a rock in one talon. The piper’s perch rests upon a clump of earth floating among smoky clouds, a misty curtain tinted pink and purple like a bruise. Gnarly roots reach out in all directions, probing like woody tentacles. A break in the clouds reveals an arid stretch of land. The flat barren field is dashed with low lines of rock—burial mounds as far as the eye can see. A single figure with shovel pauses in their work with head bowed.

DELIRIUM’S MISTRESS (1985) Acrylic on Watercolor Board - 30” x 22” Tanith Lee was such a visual writer of fantasy. She gave the artist an inspiring painting concept on nearly every page, offering an inexhaustible supply of fascinating ideas. #bookssky #art 🪐📚
Over the broken ruins of a fantastical city, a raven haired young woman takes flight on the back of a white lion. With golden eyes and azure mane, it spreads majestic raptor-like wings to soar. As she scans the distance, her eyes signal concern. Wind whips her hair back and billows her cloak. The silky fabric evokes magic in its pattern, black trimmed in red with a regal gold-dotted motif. Wispy tendrils of clouds trace powder blue skies, suggesting an upward drift of air current.

Wise visitors refused fairy food: it was tainted with toxic honey made from monkshood, foxglove, and bog rosemary, and made one hallucinate. The introduction of rhododendron gardens in the Victorian era allowed fairies to step up production, with astonishing effects on English literature.

Things I hate about LLMs: that novelists are being challenged to prove they wrote their own work. Things I don't hate about LLMs: that they give me an excuse to put "trap streets" in my work—really obscure archaisms and eldritch neologisms!

It has been a little while since I posted a fox, but I am pretty happy with this one I did yesterday. I think if you overlook the somewhat erroneous placement of the teeth it is decent. I suppose as it is it is a vampire fox...XD #Fox #Sketch

Ate them. They were okay. If you want the actual chickeny flavor (and being barely a whisper at that), twist it and just eat one of the wafers without the filling. Otherwise, the maple-y filling flavor is really the dominant note.

LORE OF THE WITCH WORLD (1979) Watercolor on Watercolor Board Early in my career I had the privilege of being assigned covers for many established authors. That list, of course, included Andre Norton, one of the grand dames of science fiction. #bookssky #art 🪐📚
Standing on a snowy mountain outcrop, a woman underdressed in fur cloak and short skirt stands with blonde hair blowing behind her in the chill breeze. The bare skin of her back is revealed as the heavy cloak billows with a gust. Resting across her lower back, she holds a spear with gloved hands. Her booted feet are spread wide. In profile, she stares off panel left with the line of her eyes crossing a pristine white castle rising from a mountain peak in the distance.
