I Have Been Published in The Magnolia Review

The Magnolia Review is an arts and literature magazine that publishes short stories, poems, art, photography, comics, and reviews. This time, their latest issue includes two illustration pieces I’ve done – “Two Ladies” and “The Star Sage.”

You can download it, for free, at this link.

Right now issues are only available online, but the editors are working to get the magazine to print.

I hope you enjoy the magazine and the art I made for it!

“For My Best Friend,” a Sketch

I drew this over the weekend – it struck me as odd that there weren’t any greeting cards for gay men, especially gay black men. So I wanted to draw something.

This sketch is the start of something. I don’t think I’ll use this illustration specifically for a greeting card, but I’ll make a new illustration based on this one.

The Air Mage

This little illustration was therapeutic to make for me, because this week has been nothing but hair-fluffing angst (I had a Twitter rant about it, but long-story short: I had to ban a bad player from my Dungeons & Dragons group).

Now, what surprises me is when I share art like this, some folks will say this is made with watercolors. It isn’t. This is Copic markers – my favorite art tool in the history of ever.

Expect a mini-print soon on Storenvy featuring this little pixie of a mage. You can check out the Fire Mage and Water Mage in this post.

Next up…EARTH.

Thanks for viewing!

You. Are. Awesome.
