Back in Time, Illustratively Speaking

Sherman’s set the Wayback Machine for the 1960s, when I gravitated into art school, only to suffer–in my second year–a catastrophic apartment fire that wiped out 100% of the charcoal drawings and oil paintings I’d done in those two years (but not, amazingly, my first attempt at a short story, written for a night class I was taking). It’s only recently that I’ve started looking back at some of that illustration work (most of what I drew or painted fits that category). So I’m thinking maybe I’ll post a few of the survivors just for shits and giggles, starting with this Disney Fantasia-inspired technical pen rendition of Chernobog…because I always go for the light subjects.

Rhymer: Hel audiobook format release

The audiobook edition of the third RHYMER novel of the dark fantasy trilogy, Rhymer: Hel, is now available. As with the previous two books it’s narrated by my all-time favorite audiobook voice talent, Alex Wyndham, who brings out all the nuance in the narrative.

Here’s part of the write-up:
A Wild Chase Through Elizabethan England
Thomas the Rhymer, immortal, shape-changing foe of the diabolical Elf Queen and her merciless Yvag knights, continues his one-man war into the reign of England’s “Faerie Queen”—Elizabeth I. When he learns of an assassination plot against Elizabeth, the Rhymer intervenes, only to find himself the object of the special attention of the Queen’s spymaster, Francis Walsingham…
