Really, you should do this, if you make art. I am really excited to see what people make in response to the stories…
New goal: make a painting for 3+ of the stories.

(So, I finished the damn painting, and I have a lot of thinky thoughts about it.)
things to remember while drawing:
- anatomy is great but dont stop because you cant get it perfect
- not every picture has to be a masterpiece
- try new things but remember its ok to draw things you like to draw
- just because someone younger than you is “better” than you are does not mean you are untalented
- everyone sees things differently
- be proud of what you can do because nobody can do things the same way you can
Just -
- all of this.

ARTISTS INTERESTED IN DOING COVERS FOR TIMELY TALES OF THE POSTHUMANS:
Reblog this post with samples of your art! I’m trying to get an idea of who—-outside of the artists currently working with me—-would be interested in getting commissioned to do cover art for LGBTQ superhero short stories.
Well now this is an exciting possibility. I would most certainly be interested in working with you.
I’ve put some samples under the cut.
