Improvement to the drawing
Every story begins with the turn of the page. It unfolds with a journey to the faraway places. And so, in the little village of Magic, our tale begins.

The main character in "Emily Wilde's Encyclopaedia of Faeries" was very relatable. She's more comfortable with books and research than with social or romantic interactions, and is entirely focused on her special interest (faeries, which are real in her world). Her male colleague also presents as having OCD.

Erm..wow, just watched 'Den Stygge Stesøsteren' (The Ugly Stepsister) - 2025
Scandinavia's answer to the 'The Substance'. Similar theme of unattainable beauty standards with super gruesome body horror. A dark fairy tale/fresh take on the Cinderella story. Very good, but very full on and not for the squeamish. One you will need to recover from.
A man grew tired of all the foolishness around him and went hiking in the woods. He found a big oak tree knocked over by a storm, and its roots torn from the earth revealed an opening that appeared to be the entrance to a cave. Faint music was coming from within and there seemed to be small lights in the darkness. So he lit his lantern and crawled inside.
There, he found a group of gnomes who welcomed him warmly and invited him to eat and drink with them, as long as he had some songs for them. So he began singing and drinking for three days, until he passed out from the strong beer the gnomes had given him.
The next morning, he woke up in front of the cave. He had a terrible hangover and stumbled back home. But there, he discovered that – while he had been carousing with the gnomes – three hundred years had passed in the world above. Yet he realised that people hadn’t become any wiser than they had been before.
He shrugged and turned back toward the woods. As he walked, he began humming a new melody and some rhymes came to his mind. Hopefully, they would be enough for a few more centuries.

Well, this is "old news" as they say, from June 30, but I still got a kick out of it. Of course, they forgot to invite me, Rattus rattus... Oh, boo hoo.

Thanks to #JackieJennings @ #Jezebel for the run-down. And to be completely transparent with y'all: this is the ONLY coverage I've read about this #fairytale #fiasco. I mean "society event"...

On the 2nd of September I will be launching my fourth book set in Strangehollow. Strangehollow is a world I created where you get to learn about the strange beasts and magical beings which live in a vast enchanted forest (and it's extremities!). #artbook #fairytale #folklore
A smaller #watercolor #artwork I painted in a forest in the German #Eifel. Just did the finish touches to show at a painting festival. I've put it now in my webshop.
