Happy birthday Freddie! 💕

With nefarious intent, the foursome observed the procession of creatures below them. Meadow and Dique kept eclectic company. Beside them sat an altogether different creature. He appeared as a dragonfly, which indeed he was. Few dragonflies owned names, though this one called himself Herald, in deference to his beloved trumpet, which lay on the grass beside him. Upon meeting the dragonfly, Meadow misheard the name as Harold - and the altered moniker stuck. Harold did not drink. Instead, he stood, stretching his insectile legs, revealing himself as the tallest of the group. "Midnight is not far off", observed the dragonfly. His eyes darted about, taking in the new moon, the surrounding forest and the steady stream of creatures entering the space from every direction. [...]

"What about you, Mustapha? Need a drink?" The fourth companion absorbed their exchange in silence, waving the bottle away with a shake of his head. Mustapha sat with long legs drawn up, chin resting on his knees. From beneath a dark curtain of hair, his pensive gaze fell upon the growing assembly. Mustapha's summons, the previous day, brought the group to this glade, deep in the forest of Petrichor. A grand heist required trustworthy co-conspirators.

This year I celebrate with an illustration that was kindly commissioned me by Craig Mulhall, the author of the novel "The King of Rhye" a Fantasy book based on Queen's songs and lore 🥰 I feel honored and I'm grateful that Craig gave me such freedom for this commission, it's been a lot of fun! I'm still halfway through the book, so -no spoilers!- I wanted to depict its very beginning, with Mustapha (Freddie) together with his friends: the pixies Dique (John) and Meadow (Roger) and the Dragonfly Trumpeter, Harold (Brian), all ready to start their mischievous plan! 😌💕 I hope you'll like this as well and don't forget to check out The King of Rhye and its sequel Metropolis, that just came out!

Here's some steps of the work, if you'd like:

They stared at her with that look... the sadness, the suspicion, the weariness, the knowledge that came from living a special misery in a world of misery.

Contact sheets and all sorts of photographs of Queen taken through the 70s and 80s and revealed for the Sotheby's auction, in other words, a lot of new content for the world and specifically us to enjoy 🤍 You can find these and more in much better quality here!

something I’ve noticed that’s interesting is the difference in how Mary vs Jim address the band publicly. Jim 9 times out of 10, calls them by their names. Either full or just first names, regardless of whether they’re with Freddie or not, whereas I think I’ve heard Mary call one of them by their name once and only in the context of being a companion with Freddie, and every other time she refers to them as “the band,” or “the other members of Queen”

which is kind of…odd? Is it just me?

If you haven’t been to The Ripped Bodice in LA you absolutely should (they have author-signed copies of all my books currently!). I got two books on my TBR and smelled every single trope candle. 10/10 experience and it’s good for my budget that I don’t live nearby.

Dracula Daily has me daydreaming of a hypothetical Cinderella Boy scenario where Chase decides to go into the novel Dracula because he wants to see some hot vampires, but upon arrival he realizes Dracula is just a gross predatory old man and is disappointed

However, since Chase’s heroine key would put him in the role of Mina (and Deacon in Van Helsing), he would be a direct witness to the Suitor Squad’s incredibly attractive vampire-hunting expeditions. At one point he leans over to Deacon and says “Vampires are out, vampire HUNTERS are IN”

That is until they reach the end of the book where Mina and Van Helsing confront the Weird Sisters and the sight of Buddy as the blonde vampyress makes him change his mind

I hold very close to my heart the belief that Cait can barely read.
