Partial Prints
I'm experimenting with doing partial prints off of the same screen. Here, it's isolated decorative elements from the Myst screen. This is the back/sleeve view. Should hit the shop tomorrow. Also: the design for the next screen is underway, stay tuned!
New design is a go! Myst
First attempt at printing with this screen came out off-center and patchy. Second attempt went much better - measured to center and practically pounded the ink through. Result: perfectly centered and solid. Should hit the store tomorrow or Wednesday. Yay! UPDATE: New...
Book Review: The Magicians
The Magicians by Lev Grossman I wasn't bored by this book, for sure, but ultimately I wasn't satisfied either. The cynical, disinterested view of the narrator, Quentin, pervades even the alternate magical world(s) he becomes privy to. There is a bit of wonder and awe...
Book Review: Elfland
Elfland by Freda Warrington Overall, I thought this was an interesting way to mix the world of fantasy with the modern world. The lines between what makes a being human or a fairy are blurry and blurrable (at least from the fairy side). An Aetherial being (as they are...
Book Review: Flashforward
Flashforward by Robert J. Sawyer I won a copy of this book from @torbooks on Twitter in a giveaway they did around the time the TV show based off of it premiered. Overall, I thought it a fairly good read. It did what I like to see science fiction do: use the premise...
New Design Coming Soon!
Here's a quick pic of the next design to hit the DD line. This is another thing I've been doodling for years. I'm currently working on blocking out the screen, which - as you'd imagine from the intricate details - will take awhile. Should totally be worth it in...
Book Review: Sandman Slim
Sandman Slim by Richard Kadrey I won this book in a giveaway by HarperCollins/Eos Books and wasn't really sure what to expect, not having heard much about it previously. What I got was a wickedly enjoyable read. James Stark, the narrator, is a magician turned pit...
Book Review: Blackbringer
Blackbringer (Dreamdark Book 1) by Laini Taylor I'm a firm believer in the fact that just because something is dubbed as 'teen' or 'young adult' doesn't mean it isn't good, or isn't worthy of my time as a supposed fully grown adult. Blackbringer was further proof of...
New Design: the DD Dragon!
This past weekend I created a new screen, and printed it up. Behold, the Dragonflight Dreams dragon in wearable form! I'm keeping the blue shirt for myself, but will be printing up some dragon apparel for the Etsy shop this week.
