Text: We used to talk through the wells, a whisper carrying to every farm that had one. There is no one left to send well whispers, and yet I hear one, on a dark, gray afternoon.

I wish to Apologize

On a panel at the 2022 Nebulas, I had the chance to celebrate authors who wrote positive gay characters long before me.

Chip Delany is obviously a major player in that game. Because there are two Samuel Delanys--there's one from Texas--I wanted to make sure people got hold of the right one. So, in my excitement, I got caught in a mental/verbal stumble between "black" and "person of color," and as best I can remember, what came stuttering out was something like "spcolored." I'm not an amazing speaker. I stammer, I freeze up, & I get things wrong. I am sorry that I bungled a modern term while bringing attention to an amazing black creator. Too often, I am called a pioneer, but I'm not--I'm just who some readers heard of first. I wanted to make sure Delany got all the proper credit that he is more than due, and maybe new readers would be inspired to read his work. A note from Chip Delany:

Well, the previous destruction is all fixed. Unfortunately, despite my leveling attempt, the resin STILL pooled to one side so i think this piece is destined for a wall instead of the table top it was intended to be as there’s still texture on the shallow end and the deep end will send stuff rolling. 🤷‍♀️ #dragonart #dragon #carvedwood #carveddragon #dragonflight #woodart #woodworking #resinartwork #fantasy #fantasyart https://www.instagram.com/p/CFaF9ZqgE-B/?igshid=1wxgp8miqu3uv

Fingers crossed* here goes resin pour three. Leveled my drying area with an actual level. It’s as level as i can make it and keep it out of range of my cats. #resin #resinart #dragonart #dragon #dragoncarving #dragons #dragonflight #woodwork #learningcurves https://www.instagram.com/p/CFXhqxqAt2R/?igshid=1gpb3ath6hst2

This would be resin gone wrong and the drastic process of trying to fix it. The level of my drying area was off and it made a huge chunk on one end leaving the other end exposed. going to try cutting the extra thick lump off, polish(which I havent done before), and repour. Wish me luck and or advise cause i’m winging it over here. 😩 it was so close to finished too. I’d hoped to mount it to the base today. Super bummed. #resinart #resintable #dragonart #woodcarving #learningcurves #woodart #dragons #dragonfurniture #dragonsculpture #resindragon #resinpour https://www.instagram.com/p/CFNdU6XAa95/?igshid=1n5gcfebysbfe

COMING SOON!The is your two week warning to match up the current covers if you need to finish out the trilogy set before I pull the old covers. I know it doesn't seem long since the last cover reveal. I've know for a while that the covers didn't quite speak to genre, but I wanted to finish out the matching trilogy before I redid them all. As a reader I know what it's like to have mismatched editions. The original covers will reappear within the illustrated omnibus. #coverart #coverreveal #fantasybook #fantasycover #fantasyreaders #fantasyart #fantasy #royalfantasy #alternateuniverse #book #bookreading #booklover #bookstagram #fantasybookworm #booknerd #indieartist #indieauthor https://www.instagram.com/p/CDWu6hNgSIB/?igshid=1wclz5m2x4ust

A little preview of my final sketchbook tour! This is the oldest filled sketchbook that I have. It’s from 2005 to 2007, which were my animation school years. My style was really different back then! The full sketchbook tour is 45mn long and I talk about my school assignments, my dad’s unexpected move to ouagadougou, and my weird obsession with fish. 

Full video is available on Patreon! You can support me there for just $5 a month and get tutorial videos, step-by-steps, process vids, and more. Find it here: patreon.com/loish
