Planet Horses [art post]

These four paintings were done in October and November of 2013 for an art show at Midwest FurFest (where they all sold, happily). I had wanted to try doing horses as representations of the planets, and began with Jupiter as an experiment. That turned out so well I went on and did the other three …

Ceres Horse [art post]

To close out the year, the decade, and my Planet Horse series, here is Ceres, Queen of the Asteroid Belt.

Like all my Planet Horses this piece was done …

NaNoWriMo Challenge Report – Week 4 and Conclusion

As explained in a previous post, for the month of November 2013 I undertook a modified version of the NaNoWriMo challenge. Instead of writing a 50,000 word novel in a month, I am aimed to write 50,000 words of fiction (excluding blog posts like this one and other non-story writing, such as introductions and blurbs). I  allotted myself 22 days to …
