Blue Bird, Black Bird follows our main heroes, the lovable and speedy Blue Bird, and the downright bloody Black Raven, and checks to see if they can handle their responsibilities while also finding time for themselves. Do heroes deserve a chance at love? What if one of them does *really bad* things?

Black Raven, a superhero in black with a raven-like knight's helm on, punching his way through a bunch of dirty low lives.

In 2021, I was already a few years into deciding to simply watch all modern-superhero media from the last 30 years. I had already punched my way through almost all of the CW DC shows. Supergirl, Flash, Legends of Tomorrow. Then I was finally getting through Arrow.

Blue Bird, a super hero in a tight blue body suit with black shoulders, a yellow armor plate around his chest, and a helmet with white ridges around it is racing through downtown Denver among the cars.

She did a physical piece for the Star, which I then did purple foil over since it's her favorite color. She's doing a 7 of Cups pieces for the new project with sea shells which is exciting!

The Star tarot card, a simple piece featuring a radiant gold and yellow star in the center with rhinestones at its core, then steel wire expanding outward in dark blue and grey stripes.

The Star tarot card, back and front. The back features a plain silver rectangle in the core of a blue field, with gold fastening elements in the corners. The front of the card features a radiant burst of gold light with purple foil rays emerging from it.

These glow in the dark dice are the coolest part of the oracle dice, imo. Aside from being good divination tools and all that. All four of these pics were taken after the dice were hit with heavy UV light. One directly under a normal light in my hand, one on the counter in slight shadow, etc...

The ten glow in the dark dice on a black countertop after being hit by a UV light. The black dice are now a dull glowing green with a speckled surface, while the green dice are now glowing brightly, almost like neon!

The ten glow in the dark dice together, glowing in the dark. The green dice are glowing very brightly, making the black ones look like they aren't glowing at all... but look at the next picture to see how bright the black ones glow on their own!

The five black dice in darkness after being hit by UV light, glowing a bright green now with a speckled surface.

A handful of mostly dull dice in the light. 5 green, 5 black.

Writing is sometimes a journey of its own. Working on the backer-decided story for my anthology, Tales From the Alley!

A screenshot of text that says:

“Okay. Then can you help me get back to school before I get in trouble for leaving during recess?” Kent asks, sounding like she’s been in trouble for this before.

Wember thinks about it a bit, then bristles at their own uncertainty.

“I do not know where school is.” Wember shrugs their leafy shoulders.

“Oh well, I tried.” Kent shrugs too. “So what are we doin’ for the rest of the day?”
