Stories from a clever mercenary in a wild world.
We were pretty close to having a Zare episode today. I wrote for hours yesterday–and still didn’t get one finished. But I got a lot of things worked out. So. That’s good. Bodes well for next week!
In the mean time, I have this:
Yup, I made myself a tee shirt! I kind of love it.
You can have one, too, if you want. I have it for sale at Redbubble.
Also, there is more than t-shirts; pillowcases, mugs, bags, notebooks…
Also, Redbubble is having a 20% off sale today (Monday, 6/20) use code CARPE20
Late Spring/early Summer is apparently a rough time on my writing! I apologize for the interrupted posting. It’s when all the travel wraps up that I tumble flat on my creative face and find that coloring books are about all I can manage. That and practicing my penmanship.
I promise I’m working on the story, too.
I even drew a little from scratch this week.
Hi everyone, sorry for the delay in Zare’s story! I was traveling for several weeks for work, and that has put a serious damper on my story producing ability. My goal is to resume posting next Monday!

I forget the rest.
I drew this picture back when I was publishing The Badlands Job. I guess it’s kind of a spoiler for those of you who started with The River Rebellion!
Jemin is a burly man. Not terribly tall, but if you charge him, you will bounce off.
The holidays are upon us–with glitter, bows, lights and music. Having no wish to compete with the season, and desiring to get a good grip on the next section of the story, Zare will take a short break for the month of December.
I may continue to post art, but the story will be going on hold until January 4th.
Don’t despair–and don’t wander too far away!
Remember this post? No, I didn’t make Zare shirts–not yet (too soon?).
BUT…I finally made a tee shirt for the Attolia books!
This is not the first tee shirt I’ve designed–college fencing club for the win!–but it’s the first one I’ve done by myself. Wow, digital clean up is a bear. 
But the end result is worth it.
After a little searching around, I decided to join the Redbubble community for this project. I have no interest in dealing with production or fulfillment myself, and Redbubble handles all of that. I’ve also bought from them several times and really love their products.
Redbubble always has a Black Friday deal, you should head over there and get your one-of-a-kind fan art.
By the way…it’s not just t-shirts. Home decor, bags, iphone and android skins…even stickers.
Right now, mine is the only art for Attolia. I don’t really see that changing…but I would like to do more Attolia art so you have options. And more art in general.
I have plans and nearly-finished projects just waiting to go up!
This is Hook, rendered in ink and ink pencil. Every now and then I indulge and throw myself into drawing a horse. Alright, fine, perhaps it happens often.
In my mind, he is somewhere between a Lusitano and an Arabian in build and carriage.
I’m learning that wagons are extremely hard to draw–straight lines and boxes aren’t my strong suit. Though, the hardest part is the wheel. I have an embarrassingly hard time drawing wheels. I must find them boring, and therefore feel no motivation to practice so it isn’t a monster fight every time I try to draw a wagon. I should probably work a bit harder at that–because Fang and Seyba’s wagon was really cool looking in my head.
I bought a Surface Pro this spring, partly due to the drawing apps that you can use with it. It was a bigger learning curve than I was expecting, but I do love this tablet.
