AND FINALLY! I was invited to participate in the #JordanCon Charity Art Jam this year, which was SO fun. The theme was “corvids,” so I chose to paint a raven skull and a “raven” ZZ plant. The piece is named “Just the Tip” because the very tip of the beak has a touch of gold 😉

I’m emerging from my social media cave to say that I had such an amazing time at #JordanCon this year, as both a staff member and an attending artist. Thank you to everyone who bought my art and I hope you truly love it!

A watercolor painting of a cherry blossom branch. There are several blossoms on the branch varying from full bloom to not yet open. The blossoms are depicted in various shades of pink to mimic the variety of shades found in nature.

Thinking today about how ready I feel for spring and for all of the flowers that come with it! My uncle commissioned this cherry blossom piece last year and it’s still one of my favorites 🌸

This is about Neil Gaiman.
Ta-Nehisi Coates BETWEEN THE WORLD AND ME is a great book. Insightful, beautifully written, profound.
Coates modeled his book on James Baldwin's THE FIRE NEXT TIME.
We know this because Coates was open and up-front about this fact.
George R.R. Martin's GAME OF THRONES/A Song of Ice and Fire is a great series.
Martin modeled his books on a series by a French author named Maurice Druon.
We know this because Martin was open and up-front about this fact.
Viet Thanh Nguyen's THE SYMPATHIZER is a great book.
He modeled it on a book written in Vietnamese, whose title escapes me.
We know this because Nguyen was open and up-front about this fact.
Neil Gaiman's THE SANDMAN is a great comic book series
Gaiman modeled his series on Tanith Lee's TALES FROM THE FLAT EARTH.
But you wouldn't know this, because Gaiman has never given her any credit.
Despite the fact that the main character - a byronic, pale, otherworldly, deity-like character - is the prince of night and dreams.
Despite the fact that every time people see art depicting Tanith Lee's main character Azhrarn, they think it's Morpheus from the Sandman. (How bad is this? When people see depictions of her character, they say SHE must have ripped HIM off.)
Despite the fact that the dream lord's younger sibling is Death
Despite the fact that other members of his family include Delusion, Delirium.... They are not gods but beings older than gods, and when the gods die, Dream, Death, Delusion, and Delirium will remain. This family of immortal, eternal, unchanging beings, who each embody an eternal abstraction starting with the letter D.
Someone else on the internet, noticing the similarities, flipped open the third book in Tanith Lee's series to a random page, and lo and behold, there's a description of a character who was clearly the inspiration for Gaiman's Mazikeen
The prose, the characters, the narrative strategies, the mythology, the story structure, all of it:
Gaiman found it all in Tanith Lee's

Reply with full alt text from the first image in previous post of Matthew Boroson FB post.

Last line cut off:
“Gaiman found it all in Tanith Lee's writing and never gave her any credit.”

Pink flamingo fabric collage on a blue background. Pink threads and fabrics surround the art which is on a wooden embroidery hoop

#Januarty #Artshare
Day 12| pink
I love experimenting with various fabrics, beads & threads. This textile illustration was created entirely by hand. I cut out tiny scraps & hand embroidered them into place. Please share.
