THE THREE GRACES | a Victorian short film Three Greek female artists shake up 1860s London as they pursue their artistic careers alongside the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood

The Kickstarter campaign for THE THREE GRACES is now LIVE! Donate & share if you can, it would mean the world to me!

(I also did lend my voice to the start of the promo video, so #voiceover I guess!)

The Three Graces were a trio of Anglo-Greek artists and models whose emergence changed the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood and the London art scene forever.

But, nowadays, they're only remembered as the likenesses of princesses, fairies, spirits - something this film seeks to correct!

#TheThreeGraces is a new Victorian-era period drama comedy written by and featuring @andreanerellou.bsky.social, and the kickstarter just went live TODAY!

Rotstorm trilogy by Ian Green with custom sprayed edges- lightning, flame, and broken chain for books 1-3 respectively

My first novel The Gauntlet and the Fist Beneath got a wicked lightning sprayed edge from @goldsborobooks.bsky.social

Book 2/3 weren't so lucky, BUT, a dedicated reader made their own versions for BURNING BLADE/BROKEN CHAIN. (Torchlightreader on IG)

They are so, so, so cool
