At a friends insistence, I finally finished reading the Shadow and Bone Trilogy by Leigh Bardugo. Is anyone else looking forward to the Netflix show based on the Grishaverse?

I am pleased with how it finally turned out though, so I decided to take the time to stage it in a pretty picture.

Practicing landscape painting again - this time with an assassin the the desert that may or may not have been inspired by my WIP novel.

And that got me to thinking about what would happen if I was in the Hunger Games instead of Katniss.

Have any of you guys read one of these? What would you suggest I read first?

I bought the third book in the Princess Academy series by Shannon Hale approximately 1476 days ago (which sounds like a lifetime, but is really only 4 years.) FOUR YEARS. Why have I not read it yet? I still have no idea.

Yes, I’m still a little obsessed with Sky in the Deep by Adrienne Young, and I couldn’t resist making quote art for the Aska clan’s motto ‘Honor above life.’

A fun character sketch commission I recently finished.

As for a favorite Disney Princess, I’d have to say Belle from Beauty and the Beast.

What are some of your favorite fairytales?

Have you ever accidentally borrowed a book from the library? I just did! Not only was borrowing Blood Water Paint a surprise, it’s also not a genre I read much of. I decided to give it a try though and found the story surprisingly heavy and poignant.
