Time for a three good things list!

1. A long weekend, even with a complex colonial history - still, a long weekend.
2. Family coming into town! See #1 above.
3. Clarity on books and art sharing. Probably due to #1.

Happy Canadian Thanksgiving!

P.S. I made this announcement below, on my FB author page and elsewhere - to contextualize the clarity referenced above in #3.

P.P.S. What happens in hashtag world when you put a # in front of a numbered list? Do we end up with too many #1s etc? Do algorithms sort for numbered lists as opposed to hashtags for hashtags? Asking for a friend...

Here is the FB post:

✨ At long last, I have made a decision about how to share the art that backed up the novel writing. Sometimes the hashing out of "how" is as creative as "what," and in this case, it has taken a while. Since the novel trilogy was begun with research in 2011, 15 years ago, taking time seems just fine. ✨ I am planning a show and talk called The Art of The Trilogy and I'll combine the art (27 panels and more) that accompanied the novels of the Erenwine trilogy, as well as reflections on crafting a trilogy overall, and doing it artistically. Stay tuned; looking at November 28 or December 5 (2026, this year!) at The Evergreen Centre Studio A in Coquitlam BC, Canada. ✨ Booking dates and info to follow! #BookArt #CreativeFlow #Ecofiction

ENTRANCED I love to read and every once in a while, I find a book that I cannot put down, no matter what is happening around me. For those of you who have ever been lucky enough to encounter this transcendent state of being, this drawing is for you! :-) Imagine curled up in your favorite comfy chair, with a hot cup of tea and plate of delicious cookies nearby. All of your "friends" surround you and you have found that peaceful space, entranced with the story before you. --------------------- Available in my Redbubble shop: https://www.redbubble.com/people/gretchenkdeahl/shop (Fulfills and ships orders worldwide. :-) (100% human-made) human imagined, drawn and painted, no AI whatsoever. --------------------- #art #artist #illustration #illustrator #drawing #paintings #noAI #childrensbooks #fineart #artwork #landscape #nature #childrensart #artforchildren #interiordecor #flowers #mastoart #art #artistsonmastodon #artlover #artlovers #decor #popart #artnet #handmade #supportthearts #monsters #monster #creature #friend #love #reading #bookart

Some authors are worried that they won't get a good product when they buy a premade book cover. Authors who buy covers from me can breathe easy. (: Each older premade of mine gets an illustration refresh, illustrated author title, and your rights will be protected by an expensive contract that stands as proof that my art is 100% human made, uses no AI, and that you will not get ghosted. And just like author Sienna Eggler who bought this cover - you can pay for a new illustated title, and a paperback expansion, AND get the title work as a separate PNG for your format and merch! You can check my premades from my Kofi: https://ko-fi.com/hiisikolo_art And you can support Sienna Eggler and buy their book "The Threads That weave" here: https://buy.bookfunnel.com/lvpsrfhonn #bookstodon #Books #BookArt #BookCover #Illustration #Art #author #indieauthor #horror #PremadeBookCover

These are so old, that I have dropped price for some of the covers as low as 10€ (Or you can choose to pay more to support my art) - like this one! AND it comes with a FREE refresh of the art. Each cover comes with illustrated title for the author name. But you can also pay for the mine title swap, and paperback separately. https://ko-fi.com/s/41c5e6de5e #Bookstodon #BookCover #BookArt #IllustratedBookCover #Author #Indieauthor #Books #Scifi #Android #Robot #Brain #Horror #SciFiBooks

"At Least..." 4 photos from different angles. Wanted this to look like it was made of stone or coming out of the stone - made from paper book pages. It's slightly darker in reality as it's picking up the light here. I think it looks quite stonelike, what do you think? #papersculpture #paperart #bookart #figurativeart #tabletopsculpture #art #myart #mastoart #sculpture #artstudent

My latest paper sculpture from different angles and lighting. Made with paperback book, masking tape and acrylic paint. #sculpture #papersculpture #bookart #contemporaryart #mastoart #sculpturesaturday #sculptureart #paperart #art #artoftheday #saturdayart
