My latest and final pen & ink illustration for the new Ouroboros Cycle book from G. D. Falksen. This has been a wild project to work on. But, time to move on to the next project!

I was determined to come up with a simple way to do this new pen and ink illustration. The deadline is tight. But, I ended up working a week on this one. The art tells you what it needs to be.

I guess so. I wasn't aware of that. I have not been active there, except for updates on the Breathtaker project, for 11 years. But we are attempting to get the attention of our very patient backers before we begin shipping.

Hey IndieGoGo Backers! It’s been 11 years in the making… and shipping time is finally almost here! Please double-check (and update if needed) your shipping info in your IndieGoGo account. I don’t want your long-awaited rewards going on an adventure without you!

My work of this week is a pen & ink illustration for one of G. D. Falksen's Ouroboros Cycle books (due out early next year.) This will be our first collaboration since Doctor Cthulittle.

My tribute to Tarzan Day! August 27, 1912 is the date the first installment of Tarzan of the Apes was published in The All-Story magazine! I created my own version of that iconic cover painting.

My Saturday Sketch is one of the pieces I worked up at PulpFest last weekend. Have blast this weekend!

Mark Wheatley @markwheatley.bsky.social · Aug 14

Each morning at PulpFest I got to my table early and worked up a Panthans Journal cover. I just finished the color on this one tonight. I call it "Madness."

Mark Wheatley @markwheatley.bsky.social · Aug 6

Boom! My new illustration in a series set at sea! I'll have the original with me at PulpFest if you want to see it up close and personal!
