Almost to the finish line. Things get done when they get done, I guess. 🤣 #books #booksky #literature #shortstories #amwriting #writer This is my new book of short stories. I am a passionate devotee of the short story, but there's no money in them, so I understand why nobody takes them seriously.

"Merging." 9x12 pastels on paper. #blueskyart #painting #art #artsky An old abstract work. I'm definitely at a crossroads with my painting, but the more I think about it, the more I realize what I want to paint now. 🙂

"Chapel." 9x12 pastels on paper. #art #artsky #painting #blueskyart I ordered some new pastels. A new box of pastels is so immaculate, but as you use them, that box turns into a cataclysmic mess of cosmic proportions. 😄

"Starships." 9x12 pastels on paper. #art #artsky #painting #blueskyart #pastels I don't think I've posted this old painting before. I started a new painting last night that I'm hoping to finish today. A landscape. Trying to paint different things. 😀

"Dear Life," by Alice Munro. #books #booksky #literature #shortstories I've read most of Munro's books, but this has my favorite story of hers, "Train," which really pulls the rug out from under you. You can read it below. harpers.org/archive/2012...

"Vision." 12x12 acrylic and pastels on canvas. #art #artsky #painting #blueskyart I did this the first year I started painting, when I was using an ottoman as a desk for painting while I sat on the couch. There are still paint stains on the carpet. 😂

If you're at all curious about magick, this comic is a fun and easy introduction. The art is incredible, and Alan Moore's writing, as always, is flawless. I read this when it came out, and it was definitely a gateway drug. #comics #graphicnovel #magick #art #kabbalah

This is the sequel to the book I posted yesterday. Today's job is to get this ready for distribution. This one features a cult of space lesbians fighting patriarchal capitalists. Me and Gregg haven't finished the third book. 😀 #books #booksky #literature #amwriting #writers #scifi #sciencefiction

This is a sci-fi book I wrote with my friend Gregg. I spent all day setting up distribution for it on Ingram-Spark. I made the cover with crayons on construction paper, including the text. 😊 #books #booksky #scifi #sciencefiction #art #artsky #crayons

"The Art Of Cruelty: A Reckoning," by Maggie Nelson. #books #booksky #essays #art #blueskyart #artsky Nelson is one of my favorite writers. This is a book of essays about violence and art that really blew up a lot of my preconceptions about what art is and what it can be. 😀

Pruebo los soft pastels y algo de alcohol. No me gusta la textura pero el resultado a la larga creo que me puede molar bastante! #portrait #sotpastels
