I've been running this community for a while now and want sure how it would plan out. Thank you all for subscribing and posting both beautiful and creepy fae folk art. (Edit: I meant to post a bit more often myself but due to personal issues it's fallen by the wayside a bit)
As a Christmas special, in this thread only, please post photos of your Christmas tree fairies. 🧚
(I'm posting this from an alt as feddit.uk is down)

The Dungeon, 14″ x 11″ watercolor Pencil and Chalk on Toned Paper
The author Shawn Speakman has an wonderful epic new novel out, The King-Killing-Queen, the first in a new series of fantasy stories for him. I had the privilege to illustrate the work with nine interior illustrations and a full color plate (which I have shared recently on MuddyColors. )

Description
“Faery and Her Dragons” — Drawing, 16.5”h x 11”w; I’m sometimes asked where my ideas come from. They distill from many sources, but I do have a tendency to ask a logical, even scientific question, and then opt for an imaginary solution. I’m fascinated with science and the worlds scientists have opened for the rest of us, but since childhood I’ve had a tendency to jump to conclusions that are more fantastic than accurate. As an example when I wonder logically where dragonflies go at night, I soon stray from entomology, I mix genres, and I start a story in my mind. I might decide that they are protected at night by a being accustomed to the dark and cool, one whose eyes can see in moonlight, one who doesn’t fade to semiconsciousness just because the temperature drops. Then of course I need to answer other questions that follow — Is she herself protected by spells or runes? Is she insectoid? Humanoid? Something in between? Are all dragonflies just pets, set loose during the day like we would send a dog outside, then gathered in at dusk to stay close in the dark?
I’ve heard that the habit of answering questions with non-obvious answers is a form of creativity. I suppose it might be but I’ve never thought of it as that, it’s just what happens.
“Faery and Her Dragons” will be in my solo show at the Copro Gallery in Santa Monica in March, opening reception Saturday, March 2nd.
