A.R. Ivanovich

I've been absent lately. Sorting out some things in life, but I'll be back with more art and writing soon enough! 🖤✨

Seriously! 😄

This is who runs this account.

I just watched this earlier today. Popped up on my YouTube recommended. I'm glad to see it here too. 💛

That's beautiful! I love that our characters and worlds spark on opposite ends of the spectrum.

I'm ready. ☀️

I love it! 🖤✨

"how do you create and come up with your characters?"

I world-build, chasing a plot vibe, until my characters step out of their circumstances to introduce themselves.

Being surprised by the actions of my characters is one of my favorite things about writing.

I see I'm not the only one...

I'm with you, sister.

The photograph above was taken on the sidewalk in Boise, Idaho.

Compassion does not abide brutality.
Justice does not abide injustice.

In 2026, are we willing to let our humanity slip through our fingers? Are we going to allow greedy, violent, hypocrites to destroy all that we've collaborated to build?

We deserve better.
We WILL make things right. Together.

This is beyond politics. This is moral. This is archetypal. This is what stories warn us about. This is what history warns us about.

Imagine if ICE's budget was put toward opening offices to expedite citizenship. Imagine if our housing, schools, medical systems were funded... we would ALL thrive.

I make art. I don't talk politics on social media. I support causes in person.

It is NOT political to demand that our government stops invading, abducting and executing people.

It is NOT political to demand dignity, compassion and fair due process for ALL people.

Oh yay! Thank you so much. I appreciate your support and I'm so glad you liked it! I worked really hard on the cover... your words mean a lot!

More is on the way... ✨

Oh yay! A fellow scratch artist! I love this piece you made, it's gorgeous! 🖤✨

This past weekend I read 2 books. First was The Starlit Road by A. R. Ivanovich a wonderful new YA fantasy. The second was Frost Maiden: The Origin of the Snow Queen by J.P. Reedman a short novella that was an easy enjoyable read. I would recommend both to my fellow fantasy lovers. #booksky

You and me both…

Hell yeah, pre-order! I'm in!

You've got this! And omg I love that title! 😂

A. R. Ivanovich's digital painting of a jeweled purple, indigo sky turning tangerine on the horizon. Palatial clouds, highlighted in gold, orange and pink, fill the lower half of the sky, reflecting the golden, glowing meteors showering down from above, curving with the Earth's atmosphere.

We live to make art.
We make art to live.

Even in harsh conditions we bloom with expression. Every one of us, across all forms of art and craftsmanship, beginner to pro, is a part of that.

We are not oversaturating any market.
We are doing what humanity does naturally.

Not at all! It's in the works! 🖤✨

Cover reveal! The Dogmen Fudge Incident
Fudge shop owner Winston and his employee Lydia battle the dogmen invading his town with the one thing he knows will take the cryptids out: chocolate! Because, as everyone knows, chocolate kills dogmen!
Paperback and ebook out Feb 10th! Preorders coming soon!

Matt!! This looks amazing!! 🔥 Hell yeah! Can't wait to pick it up!

Holding a paperback copy of The Starlit Road. The twilight colors of the novel are striking in contrast to the warm wood floor beneath.

I love being able to hold it in my hand!
The culmination of so much love and hard work. 🖤✨

Beats me...

Thank you. I hope the same for you!

Imagine if we all just wanted nice things for each other...

What a life that would be.

a couple of monkeys are sitting on a pile of dirt Alt: In a forest, one monkey comes over and gives the other monkey a hug.

It has me wishing I could return to the trees... being born human was a big oopsie.

Now that The Starlit Road has been released and all the work is done, I'm supposed to take some time to relax... and I don't know how. 😅
