Ceres Horse [art post]

To close out the year, the decade, and my Planet Horse series, here is Ceres, Queen of the Asteroid Belt. Since I added Pluto (and Charon) last year I felt it would be fitting to pay homage to another important celestial object—and a very important goddess. Like all my Planet Horses this piece was done …

Sol Horse [art post]

It may not seem like a picture of the Sun as a horse is a particularly seasonal thing to post at Christmastime, but if you consider that celebrations of lights and light-bringers have been observed around the winter solstice for as long as there have been solar gods and heroes to celebrate, then this is …

Introducing Dagrhi [art post]

I just learned that today is International Dog Day, and as it happens I have just the piece for it! Everyone, this is Daghri the Lake Wolf, Moon-Eyed Dog, She Who Devours and Eater of Evil.

The Monday after Norwescon

Monday morning after a con is a surreal experience. You drift through empty halls and past quiet coffee kiosks, where just the day before were thronged crowds in colorful costumes and lines of tired people bedecked with ribboned badges stretching around corners and into said hall.
