Pre-order Here: buff.ly/DpN0WIJ

a lone knight swathed in green armour stands in the dark, knee deep in water, holding an axe. from where she holds it, the metal of her weapon is slowly transforming into sprouting leaves and vines. behind her are several weapons that have long since turned into twisting branches that blend in with the surrounding flora. roots that resemble clawed hands cling to the handles of these weapons.

a wandering knight, drawn to the quiet of the forest. her touch may either be a blessing or a curse.

I have been lucky to be in London at the exact same time as the exhibit for @realgdt.bsky.social Frankenstein. I was also lucky enough to see it on the big screen a week ago and I’m STILL thinking about it. I’m obsessed with it. This is how you do it, with passion

a young miss sits in an arm chair tilting a book to her ghostly companion, who's pulling the "arm over back of chair not quite around shoulder" move. all the portraits hung on the wall look on in excitement of this development. go for it girls!!!

IT'S NOVEMBER but I'm not ready to give up the ghost just yet!! Go for it young miss!! 💚 #spookycute #ocs

This is a personal work, the first one in years, I could manage to spend some time on it despite all my current works, but I needed to do it and the most important thing, it’s probably one of the paintings I enjoyed most in a while!

Mil gracias @realgdt.bsky.social por esta obra maestra!

We're witnessing the most aggressive, fanatical crackdown on free speech in my lifetime. The speed and breadth of government censorship and private sector and nonprofit capitulation has been astonishing. As has the lack of urgency/silence from people who've long claimed to care about this stuff.

Road to Ruin by Hana Lee deserves more love.
