Thanks, Dan!💖😃 I’m looking forward to sharing more about this piece—I might try making some art process videos for it over the holidays. I hope you’re having a great weekend!

I'm doing okay. Last week of dayjob before I get a couple of weeks off..so fingers crossed no disasters lurking lol this will be the 4th 2 week break (excluding some shot-term medical issues) 27 years of working...

faybelarts.bsky.social•71 days ago

My goodness! It seems like a break that’s very well deserved. I hope your job is an enjoyable one overall and that you have smooth sailing until your earned holiday time, Dan. Do you have fun plans with family and friends leading into the new year?🌲🎁🎉

danhawk333.bsky.social•71 days ago

Work is work and that's why I draw..and drink wine on a Friday with dinner lol
As for Xmas.. we don't have many of either of those so it's pretty quiet/uneventful

You all booked up in the social calendar?

This is breathtaking. Absolutely phenomenal 👏

faybelarts.bsky.social•72 days ago

Thanks, Garrett!💖 I was considering running an art-share with her on a different weekend as she is also going up on IG with a special announcement in a moment (more on that soon here too).🤫😊

Haha—I love it!😆

I love this 😍

faybelarts.bsky.social•72 days ago

Thank you so much, Lesley! Looking at your beautiful pieces has inspired me to do more detailed background work recently. I have been loving all of your latest fantasy portraits!🥰🥰

lesleythiel.bsky.social•71 days ago

I love when we inspire each other 🩷🩷🩷

(Part 2) I have finally partnered with 365 Art + Magazine to create/act as guest primary editor on a special issue of their publication (no-AI) called “Art of the Phoenix: Path to the Inner Self”📘🐦‍🔥. This painting is one of our possible cover pieces & we will be opening submissions in the new year.😃

That’s wonderful news sweetie!! Congratulations 🥰❤️❤️❤️

Thank you, Lesley!😄❤️❤️❤️ I can’t wait to share more about the magazine issue next year! I’m hoping to work on the digital original of this painting over the holidays.🐦‍🔥

(Part 1) As do I! I think that that is the true magic of social media or at least one of the most incredible opportunities platforms like Bluesky make accessible to so many creative people.💖✨ Btw, Lesley, do you remember the magazine opportunity I discussed with you quite some time ago?

Great work, did you read the Bear and the Nightingale series? This piece made me think of that story. There was a water spirit in it. Probably why.

faybelarts.bsky.social•72 days ago

I will have to pay attention to the water spirit part when rereading.💙

justinkingdesigns.bsky.social•72 days ago

I think it was a small part, but I loved reading about all the folklore. I still refer to the domovoy in my house when food gets left out.

faybelarts.bsky.social•72 days ago

I started to and have been meaning to finish the series in audiobook format.🥰 My local library has the entire set last I checked: its atmospheric writing was breathtaking from my memory. I can imagine loving to do cover art for romance fantasy series beyond my own like this. Thank you, Justin!💖
