Thomas was raised by books in much the same way that Tarzan was raised by apes but with much less dramatic results. He got his first professional illustration gig when he was thirteen and has been working in the field since then. (Taking time out for meals and such.)

Gen ai cover. This is not ok. Will continue to raise awareness. Seriously a shame because I'd have been keen, purchased and promoted otherwise.

At least one of these has a gen ai cover. Very possibly both.
This is not ok and is a bloody shame as the books would have been very much of interest to me.
Publishers-authors there is no excuse for this.
Gen ai is a tool of the enemy. We do not need it. We will not use it.

Right you are. Will go public with the info.
It's a shame in so many ways.

It certainly appears to be. Am attempting to get admission/verification. Have contacted the publisher.

Renaissance female presenting person holding a tripartite moon mask to their features. Underneath, the words-Re enchantment is resistance.

I get to wake up being me, and that is a very good thing.
Others have to wake up being themselves and I'm pretty sure that is an endless punishment. They can choose to be other, but they will not.
I am a free man and oh so very, very very glad of it.
Good morning.

Some villages hold their hurts with fearsome grip. Stones leak stories, shadows are spirit-stalked. A visitor may find them picturesque, but the resident knows them as harsh haunted. Mortwell is such a village. It is a risk of ghosts. – #CJosiffe

The witch feels the land's waking. Feels the greening of her soul. Her sorceries grow, her sorceries bloom. A thousand new feral songs swim her blood. – #EmilyCBanting, 1982 #WitchSky

Also, gods willing, a nightmare that has lasted (in some ways) seventeen years will be largely over tomorrow.
Send good thoughts for tomorrow morning please.
Then, I move on.

A landscape of ruined temples and broken tributes under a red moon. A vast frightening figure moves between the ruin and the moon. Pencil, watercolour wash, chalk and white paint on toned paper. Colour applied.

Still good morning.
Drawing galleons in the sky because that is my actual job.
Here is one I baked earlier.
