This one is more expensive and also the most detailed piece of art I have probably ever made. It took me a year to finish, and it is selling for 500€ (incl, paypal fee and VAT).

Please share so people can see I can do more than just silly comics. :D

Direct buy: https://ko-fi.com/s/0e5c6516e9

You can also commission something similiar if you like!

Illustrated eBook cover for sale. Depicts a red dragon with green horns and eyes geaming in cold sunlight with its wing over an elf-man. Sunlight shows the patterns of its wing, and reflects on its curved horns, neck spikes, and long claws.

The elf man is pale, and has white, slightly curled short hair resting on his forehead and temples. The hair in a long braid that snakes down his shoulder to his exposed peck. The braid is tied with a silky white ribbon and it turns from white to pale red and finally turns entirely black at the end. His eyes are red, and his pointed ear is red and sunlight makes it look luminecent.
He is wearing green, buttoned trousers and nothing else. They are resting low on his hips. His abs are visible, as he holds the head of his dragon companion. He has tattoos all over his arms, around his navel, neck, decolte, and ear. He also has scars on his side, arm, and chest if you look closely. They have long since healed.

The background is of cold mountain ranges disappearing into a fog. The light is cold, and unyelding.

The yellow text overlays say:
Two hiisikoloART signatures, hiisikoloART watermarks, "author name" and "very cool title" on bold text. No AI label, illustrated typography! 100% human made original art!

Today is Jack Kerouac birthday.

Before he became the voice of the Beat Generation, Kerouac was a promising college football player. A broken leg ended his sports career — but the long recovery gave him time to read obsessively and begin writing the stories that would change American literature.

He later wrote On the Road in a burst of energy that became legendary: typing day and night on a single 120-foot scroll of paper.

finished reading Every Secret Thing 🌕🌕🌕🌑🌑
by Marie Munkara.

Mission mob vs bush mob in the Top End. Crude & cutting humour, with occasional glimpses of the raw, traumatic truth of dispossession & cultural genocide.

“In 2019, I went on a tour of Chernobyl. The Ukrainian guide who explained what led to the nuclear accident said something that stuck in my mind. “Americans grow up with the idea that questions lead to answers,” he said. “But Soviet citizens grew up with the idea that questions lead to trouble.”

"Cutter's Deep" is my personal favorite but if you like creepy and unsettling horror, you really can't go wrong with any book or story from Ronald McGillvray. As far as I'm concerned, this is an empirical fact. 📚🙂👍

I've finished: A Half-Built Garden by Ruthanna Emrys

A Half-Built Garden is the most Fediversial novel I've read.

The anarchists have won. The corporations and nation states have been sidelined. Most of the world is under the control of egalitarian communities that use an alternative network to achieve consensus and work to rehabilitate the climate change ravaged earth.

This is very much a slice of life novel in the vain of Becky Chambers, centered around a communal lgbtqia+ household. But as opposed to most slice of life novels there is a major crisis, and it falls upon this community to save the day.

Aliens have made first contact and they insist that the only way for technological species to survive is to leave their biospheres behind and build Dyson Swarms.

As their way of life comes under threat from without and within, Will the dandelion network survive? Will the power of decisions through discussion and consensus overcome manipulation and coercion.

A special aspect of the aliens is the importance they place on the place of children in society.

PS:

I didn't expect this novel to be so Jewish, what a delight.
