This is the home of an artist in perpetual need of ideas.

I do crowdfunded illustration for independent writers and their fans, so if you're an author, and you'd like some artwork, please check out my call for prompts to learn how to request a story sketch of your own!

Or, browse the posts with the art tag, and take a look at what I've drawn for others. You might discover something new to read!

Feedback helps me learn! Feel free to let me know what you think, even especially if there's something I need to improve - and please consider leaving a tip if you do like what you see. Your participation can prompt more work on an image :)

I am also available to take commissions if you'd like me to draw something for you that isn't a story.

Mother-Tongue is a poem by jjhunter about Beowulf's mother, and Grendel's. Skillfully crafted in the style of Seamus Heaney's modern english translation of the anglo saxon epic, it reads like an excerpt of the original poem.

This is a sketch of what was voted by readers of Karen Wehrstein's Philosopher in Arms to be Chevenga's coolest move in the Arkan war.

Chevenga barely manages to catch it intact when his horse helpfully rears up and throws him off...
