I draw book covers, if you would like one, you can email me. This one is a dust cover, so front, back, flaps. It was a challenge to think of an idea that would cover the ground that Adrian does. It is a *device*, based on one of the stories. So, specific, maximal and general, all at the same time.

Coming soonish from Subterranean Press - the first collection of my short fiction in about a decade - here's the cover (by @alisonsampson.bsky.social ) and table of contents for your delectation.

Book cover showing the glass bubble of a space helmet with a woman's face and hand reflected in it, and ants crawling over it.

Little hand drawn animation and banjo theme I made. It's been a year since my brother's passing, it's hard to type stuff so l'll just let the video speak for itself. Thank you for watching. Keep going, enjoy the sandwiches.

Please consider checking out this comic anthology!!!
Yes, I'm in it BUT it's such a timely, frightening and dark concept. There are stories from a wide range of inventive and skilled creators!!! It's on KS:

The Childless is LIVE!
This 120-page anthology features thirteen stories set in a dystopian world where the law states that the children of separated parents must be sacrificed in the name of family values.
I'll give you four reasons to support it here! 🧵

The Knight Shift is a dark-fantasy comic with plenty of action and twice as many laughs. Skeletons, Puppies, Necromancers - we've got 'em all!

⚔️🕯️ Here's a sneak peek at something very very cool (like, super cool) that I've been quietly working on for a while now. I think it's gonna be special!

Keep an eye out for the full announcement soon (and find out who the phenomenal artist is!).
