Covers Created in May 2015

Just the one.

When Liralee buys an orb from the Shawl Lady’s stall, she opens a path to another world, for the orb is not just a pretty glass ball that impresses her friends; it’s a symbol of power that produces magic for enchantments. And it’s wanted by two warring kingdoms and a sorcerer with plans of conquest. When strangers try to take the orb, and her friends gather to aid her, Liralee begins an adventure that could end in disaster or victory. The choice is hers.

 

Daily Photograph - June 30, 2015: Currawong

I took a few bird photos today, and thought it would be hard to choose between them, until I saw this one. This is what a currawong looks like when its sick of having its picture taken over breakfast.

Daily Drawing - June 30, 2015: Improbable Creatures #1

Well, I'm not doing as well on these as I might, so I'm trying something different. I'm going to draw first thing in the morning, instead of last thing at night, and see if that makes a difference. Today, I woke up thinking of a tree. It's the tree to the left front of the picture. And then I wanted to draw a deer, but the head was wrong, so I created a dragon, instead. So, for July, I think I'll create some improbable creatures, as that's what seems to be inspiring me at the moment.

This is where I would have said my drawing was around thirty years ago... and it's a lot better than the sketches I've tried earlier this month. I have a ways to go to before I can start making beautiful art like Algol, Svenya Liv, Nic Weissman, Claudio Pozas or other folk, but that's what this blog is about - the journey.
