We're gearing up for the ISG Virtual Convention
Indie sellers deserve an internet where it's possible to earn a fair living wage for creative work.
Shoppers deserve an internet where it's possible to support the makers, creators, and small businesses that you love, without so much of your payment being gobbled up by big tech platforms.
Together, we can build that internet.
Learn more at the first annual Indie Sellers Guild Virtual Convention, scheduled for April 13-14, 2024, entitled—
Support Small Sellers: Freedom from Etsy and other Big Tech
See what we have planned through the link below, and register to attend for only 1 USD.
We hope to see you there!

So baby, can I slide into your DM, ask how your weekend going 🎶
Kelv-X is a young independent artist from Nigeria.
He’s made a handful of songs and I believe is currently working on some more right now.
You can listen to Slide and some of Kelv-X's other music on Apple Music and Spotify!
The picture of the pink phone above was drawn by me. It's an interpretation of the lyrics and an alternate interpretation of the cover art for Slide.
(I don't know who made his cover art, or I'd credit them).
I like to imagine the pink phone as belonging to the girl that Kelv-X is talking about in the song.
You can support Kelv-X by listening to his music on Apple Music and Spotify!
More info after the "Keep reading"!
Kelv-X is a very good friend of mine.
I believe in him and I love his music so very much.
He’s living in Nigeria right now and, to say the very least, life is hard there.
I think his music is good! And music is his passion.
I would love if you go check him out!

not a fhjy post but I found the most wonderful yt video today. A really cool music therapist on youtube posted a video recently where she turned Brennan's "I CANNOT WIN" monologue into a musical theater song and it's AMAZING. her name is Trina Chakrabarti and all of her original music is fantastic PLEASE show her some love. I don't have any platforms where I can share this with Brennan directly but I do think he and all the other amazing folks at dropout should see it. Trina if you see this somehow please make a tumblr you're so amazing! also here's her channel link and the song:

For every follow, reblog, or even just like I get on this post or the repost on my second blog, I'll draw Francis Mosses from That's Not My Neighbor.
The more I get the more detailed/rendered they get. If we get at least 10 follows on both blogs I'll start taking requests. No I won't draw NSFW. I'm sorry. If this actually works and I get a ton of traction I'll stream it.

Presenting all the artists I have worked with on my author journey thus far. 🏳️🌈📚🎨
Because I'm Team Human, and always will be.
Lianne Peterson, fantasyspritestudio on Instagram, is also a crochet artist, which is how I first met her. Back in the day, I made crochet toys and sculptures, and she still does. One thing led to another, and after she read my first book, we collaborated on the Iverbourne Tarot project, which expanded to include other indie artists.
Then we did the special editions together, which includes the tarot art as full page illustrations, and the scene with Lythienne threatening her boytoy—Panrauth, I mean. Also, that fan art of Novak still makes my heart sing. The plant guy is Lysander from the Levena books, and also fan art that I treasure.
@gagakumadraws has done so much work for me, this isn't even all of it. She is an absolute gem of a person and artist, and I'm so thankful to be able to call her my friend. There are the five Iverbourne cards, The Rebel Foxes cover, and so much Arlo and Thatch, from Phantom and Rook. There's the inside of the bookstore, and side characters like Silas (silver hair boi) and Arche.
Art not pictured are beautiful spice scenes, the outside of the bookstore, and a pirate play scene from Phantom and Rook. Oh, and a certain enby wolf shifter all tied up in knots.
@prince-peachie did some character art for me, depicting Novak as he first meet him and when the demon comes out to play. I first fell in love with Peachie's AFTG fan art, and I love everything he does!
The bottom left is Novak and Alvis on the ship, brought to life by @kislurysuje around the time Prince of Sylvan came out. It was one of my first printed pieces of gay art, and I love it so much.
The Moon is Eros from the Iverbourne series, and her card was created by @sholdthebus who I found on Tiktok. She does some amazing work, and has a Pride Armory! Think pride themed pins, like bisexual battle axes.
And my beloveds, @crossroadart-seabear and @foxglovefaun
I love these covers so dearly. The colors, the emotion and detail. Bear did Phantom and Rook, and Fox did Matsdotter and Adrastus. I love that the colors of the sequel echo the first book, and while each artist has their own style, the books look like they belong together. They are both fantastic people, and beautiful artists.
So yeah, fuck AI, and scream about your favorite artists. 🤘✨

Mermaid enthusiasts all need to pay attention to this
An open-world mermaid RPG is in development!
It's called Siren (not to be confused with the TV show), and it's in production by an independent, unpaid team of developers called Loreseeker Games. That video showcases their work so far. If you're as thirsty for mermaid media (mermedia) as I am, this is something to keep an eye on, and if you're so inclined, supporting financially on their Patreon. I really would love to get my hands on this some day, and authentic, un-corporatized art needs to be supported at all times. Signal boost!
