All is not as it seems (he/they) 50+ 🏳️⚧️🏳️🌈 expat in Ireland, when not unearthing fraudsters, I write pithy fantasy and draw a vampire graphic novel @ badbloodcomic.com
Picked up a new commission. Here’s some sketches for inspo reference given to me. Can’t wait to see what I come up with
I do so love to find me some genuine scams in my spam box - don’t fall for the honeyed words that get your hopes up. Domain name registered in April by someone in Nigeria 🕵️
Oops, I forgot to share this finished commission- enjoy! ☺️ #editing #bookbrain #artbyhand #PENNNNS #ink
So begins the edit of Ancient History sequel! First task, type up the handwritten manuscript (which I consider a read through). 📖
Been working on a commission (inspired by Sutherland of early AD&D) ✍️
Had a wonderful time vending at @wexfordartscentre for @wexfordpride ‘s Pride Inside!

Get the inspo for this doodle from @sethanikeem.bsky.social 😅
I survived a work trip to Morocco! Here I am on camels with my boss, who also bought a copy of my book, Ancient History! You can get a copy too, right here: tinyurl.com/53ammb85 ! The book is like Orwell snuck into a fantasy world, poured himself some wine, and whispered, “Let’s stir some trouble.”
Reminds me of a story I once drafted called Lady Ice based on the Arcadia song and featuring a stage actress no one can get close to but who always turns up when there’s a Medea (Euripedes) play production, and nails it every time.
Just back from Cosmic Rebels Comic Con! It was great fun, lots of good stuff, got to talk to lots of folks about BadBlood 🤘🏼
And now a quick break to build organization furniture before my workspace turns into a complete mess 🪛😅
First draft of Relics, soft title of the sequel to Ancient History, is complete! 🎉🥳🎊🍾🪩
Happy to report that I drafted the climax to my current novel (the sequel to Ancient History) and I’m quite happy with the story so far. Now for the denouement and end, then set the draft aside while I work on BadBlood #amwriting #fantasy #writingcommunity wewt w00t! Old photo for added realism 🤪
A hidden library. A copy-mage. A love story wrapped in political rebellion. Ancient History has magic, history, queerness, and rebellion. It is a salient story of who gets to tell the truth. #booksky #queerbooks #sapphicbooks www.goodreads.com/book/show/22...
Ancient History - it’s more relevant thank you know. www.goodreads.com/book/show/22... #booksky
Sad news I wake to this morning in Ireland, that long time friend @lapeligrosa.bsky.social has passed away after a long stint in the hospital in Seattle. I will never forget you, Tara, your font of ideas, and ability to rally the troops to get things done.
After working on bookbinding stuffs (more on that later), I've been revisiting the sequel to Ancient History... This is me at work with the Story Engine Deck from @storyenginedeck.bsky.social 😁
Another sneaky peaky of BadBlood page 5:05, the plot thickens! Get caught up here: badbloodcomic.com
Sneaky peak of new BadBlood material. It is so fine to be drawing again!
Been working on a mini-zine, it’s coming along well. Even got some artwork I did way back in the way back for @arealjonah.bsky.social 😁
