I used to tease my mom for watching HGTV, and now you’ll catch me watching tiny house tours.

'Rapture' comes from the Latin 'rapere' meaning "to seize and carry off."

'Raptor' also comes from 'rapere.'

We hope neither carries you off today.

I didn’t know I needed to read _Welcome to the Hyunam-dong Bookshop_, but, boy, am I glad it arrived in my life when it did.

Beautiful work, Hwang Boreum!

Fellow NORCO artist Jesse Jacobi devoted many months to this acrylic piece. If anybody knows anybody at Tor Books, please send it their way. A remarkable tribute.
The New Sun, 30” x 40” acrylic on canvas. Book of the New Sun fan art. This thing took me forever, started in October of last year. Will post more info on instagram when I have time. Also if anyone wants to put me in touch with TOR or the Wolfe estate that’d be cool. Alright. Thanks!

Happy National Video Games Day! Celebrating by remembering our trip to the NYC Nintendo Store in 2017. ❤️

I’ve been playing video games since I was about 3, and this pastime has brought more joy and purpose to my life than I can succinctly share.
