Achilles & Patroclus for Valentines 💖👨‍❤️‍💋‍👨⚔️
This piece is set during the Trojan War, in Achilles’ tent. The lovers are spending a relaxing moment alone together on their bed coming up with new melodies on their lyre. In my mind, this scene is early into the war, where everyone’s still living in canvas tents, and spirits are still high.

To a Darker Shore by Leanne Schwartz (Author), Flora Kirk (Cover Artist)
A da Vinci-esque teen girl inventor on a Dante-esque journey through hell to save her best friend.
Plain, poor, plus-size, and autistic, Alesta grew up trying to convince her kingdom that she’s too useful to be sacrificed like so many of their country’s poor to appease the infernal monster across the poison sea in hell.
When Alesta’s attempt to prove herself with inventions goes awry, her best friend and heir to the throne, Kyrian, takes the blame expecting leniency―and ends up tithed in her place.
To end the sacrifices forever, Alesta plans to kill the monster that killed her friend. She travels to the depths of hell only to find Kyrian, alive, but monstrously transformed.
There’s no escaping hell or their deeper feelings for one another, and the farther they go, the closer they come to uncovering a truth about the tithings that threatens to invoke the wrath of not only monsters but the gods as well.

"This is the tomb of the dog, Stephanos, who perished. Whom Rhodope shed tears for and buried like a human.
I am the dog Stephanos, and Rhodope set up a tomb for me"
This piece is a tribute to two members of the ancient world, who lived in the Greek city of Termessos in modern day Turkey. We know about them today as Stephanos, a dog, had a tomb dedicated to him by his owner, Rhodope, who was also laid to rest nearby. As far as I can research, we don't know the exact details of when they lived, or much about their lives, except that Rhodope wanted us to know how much Stephanos meant to her.
His tomb was found near Rhodope’s own inscribed sarcophagus, which states that she set up the tomb completely and exclusively for herself. This suggests she was a single, independent wealthy woman.
Stephanos' remains are lost to time, but based on the size, and his role as a lady's companion dog, it is likely he was a melitan breed. This breed was a small, spitz-type dog that was incredibly popular in antiquity.
