Got this done on my livestream today: “The Tortoise and the Hare”.

I realized as I was making it that all of my art is rather edgy dark… It sort of straddles fantasy art and kidlit topics and nestles into a weird middles ground that I kind of like.

Even my birds! All spotlighted and surrounded by rich jewel tones… I hadn’t realized it until it hit me today, mid-stream. Huh.

Anyway, I also made this piece into a new greeting card! Woohoo!

And here’s the livestream recording (with subtitles in German, Spanish, and Traditional & Simplified Chinese!):

I got this new image done today. It’s inspired by fable, The Lion and the Mouse.

I’ve never done a fable before. And I think I really like them. There’s something simple, pure, and spiritual about them that feels a bit forced in fairytales and folktales. They’re clearly much more allegorical. And I think there’s a really strong place for that.

Maybe I’m just getting older? And tire of the antics of so many misguided humans in real life that I long for stories that aren’t ultimately about mistakes made by stupid people?

Maybe.

Regardless, I thought I’d share! Again, it’s in an Art Nouveau-inspired illustrative style. All by me in Procreate—no generative BS. This will be a greeting card soon.

Stylized Art Nouveau illustration inspired by The Lion and the Mouse, in color tones of browns, golds, and oranges. A decorative filigree surrounds the image, with two circular portraits of the lion and the mouse respectively. Heavily textured.

The Snake and the Donkey (2/2)

The more the snake tried hard to make
Affection grow, the more would break
The chance of friendship, trust, and care,
His anger rising everywhere.

The donkey's tricks grew wild and free,
But soon got lost in his own glee,
And in the end, both learned that day
That love must come its very own way.

So listen, children, to this tale:
True kindness never shall prevail
When forced with anger, threat, or might,
But only through a gentle light.

The Snake and the Donkey (1/2)

In a meadow green and bright,
Lived a snake with all his might,
Who wanted love by force and power,
Demanding praise each passing hour.

A donkey near him danced and played,
With tricks and jokes, he never swayed,
He laughed and jumped and made such noise,
Creating chaos, his favorite ploys.

The snake would hiss, "You must adore!"
But love can't come from threats and roar,
The donkey spun and danced around,
His laughter echoing without a sound.

Hah! I just discovered Fable, which is the better version of (boring) Goodreads. But just like the latter, I'll be using it primarily to track my reading progress and goals (note to self: don't let the pressure to read many books get in the way of actually enjoying reading). I also plan to post short book reviews there. And who knows, maybe I'll find a new community!

Anyone here on Fable? How's your experience, so far?
