I have been working on some new drawings (no penis cacti yet, but those will come soon). It does feel nice to start drawing again after a bit of a break while I settled into my new job, worked on a commission and worked on digital art for my book covers. I had stated at some point over on the blog that I won't be focusing on self-publishing from this point forward, which is giving me more time to work on longer books as well as more visual art. It is vital that I get my visual art skills to what they were so I can move my career more in the direction I had planned for in 2008. I'm only going to get so far doing book covers. 

If you don't already know, the bulk of my visual art is based on what is found in illuminated medieval manuscripts (I did stumble across the name of these drawings a few weeks ago, but I can't remember it). And of course, I do put prints onto redbubble. I will hopefully have prints you can buy from me in person before I start doing conventions again. 

As always, if you see something that you think I might be inspired by (it doesn't have to be from a manuscript, it doesn't even have to be medieval) feel free to tag me on a post of it on my social media. 

And now for what I've been working on. I'm not really sure what it is, but obviously there's the vagina flowers in the drawing. And that's the beauty of the illustrations found in medieval art. You don't really know with some of them but boy, do some of these creations have big dicks (although not in this drawing). 

And here's the inspiration. I can't read that particular font (the text in medieval manuscripts also has a specific name that I can't remember). I keep telling myself I will learn, but I haven't put in the effort yet. 

PS. I sometimes put up a video on tiktok of a work in progress. I have to be careful with tiktok as they are absolute cunts with the community standard violations. I guess regurgitating Andrew Tate or promoting eating disorders is perfectly acceptable but art isn't. I also sometimes put up videos on youtube but the algorithm hates me and has my videos in with a bunch of models which has created some creep related problems (I am looking into social media marketing so I can find my audience and not 22k+ views from creeps, and models don't deserve some of the comments I receive on there, no one does).  

While I don't have many things on Redbubble yet so it isn't getting much notice from a wider audience of people who don't know me, I can collect images from people who have purchased products. Apparently, you need about 60 different designs on Redbubble to start getting notice. I have 18 and some of those are reprints so they'd fit on different products. 

So this is author Greg James in a Creep Tree teeshirt. The shirt is of good quality and arrived about as quickly as you can expect a print on demand product to arrive. 

If anyone buys something, please send a picture of it and tell me about the quality to my social media. Then I can post it up on here. 

Eventually I will get those sixty different designs and then I guess I'll have to stop doing this, but even if my laptop wasn't dying, that would still be a few years away. 

I absolutely love the thought of people wandering around the USA wearing Penis Bird (or Richard Gizzards because censorship) masks. It brings me so much joy. Thank you to Tamara Fey Turner for sending these in via Facebook. 

To purchase your own Richard Gizzard mask visit my Redbubble Shop. From what Tamara said they are high quality masks (and soft and silky) and the stickers are high quality. Both look great, although you can tell that from the photos.
