I was just asked in an email but to give everyone an idea of my prices...

I digitally color over a scan of the original pencils or inks (inks are preferable for the best results) and then provide a flattened tiff file back for printing, along with a png or jpg for sharing online.

Bull Rings Out for Christmas 🐮🎄

Now Playing: Holiday Sing Along with Mitch by Mitch Miller and the Gang (Columbia, 1961)

A Christmas album by the Dark King himself, Mitch Miller! Yes, it's "Must Be Santa," the Christmas song you didn't know existed until Dylan covered it a few years ago.

I swear on my signed copies of the Dragonlance Chronicles Trilogy holding a 20 sided die up in my other hand.

I am very intrigued. I've only read House of Leaves

Reactor Magazine @reactorsff.bsky.social · 36m

Mark Z. Danielewski is most known for House of Leaves. But his new Western/quest novel/ghost story (?) Tom's Crossing challenges readers in a wholly unique way: a story about human connection that @tobiascarroll.bsky.social also dubs "equine Transcendentalist canon":

Journeys and Destinations: On Mark Z. Danielewski’s Tom’s Crossing - Reactor

Danielewski takes the skeleton of a pulp Western plot and turns it into an epic meditation on friendship, horses, and the nature of mythology itself.

I see some numbskulls on the internet not realizing this book is less a typical horror novel and more a magical realism noir, and it reads like one with the prose in the book. It's a lot of internal monologue and has some over the top dialogue sometimes that comes with the genre.

Wow, @gabino.bsky.social's barrio noir The Devil Takes You Home is really "a gut punch of a book". I thoroughly enjoyed the ride, but it's pretty brutal in it's storytelling. You go in hoping it will go well for the characters, but knowing it probably won't. I felt this book as much as I read it.
