Cooler nights! Oh how I’ve been waiting for this all summer. What is some traditions that you and your families do to help welcome the darker nights? My family and I like to decorate outdoors and inside with Halloween and fall decore and have already begun our spooky movie nights

Hello my Dark Arts friends! I have been away with family on goings and haven’t been available mentally to sit and draw anything to share. But I have been working! Here is a rock I painted recently for a client. It’s not dark in any sense but it is art related!

I promised my wife that I would slow down and take some more time to relax. ("Relax?" Isn't that a song from the 80s?") One of the easiest ways to ease back into ... uh, ease would be to read. It's coming up on the best season for reading. I need some recommendations. What's everyone reading?

Welcome! Please tell me about yourselves!

It's one of those Monday mornings when I don't want to start. So here's an attempt at an @Amanda Nadarewistsch-style post: Hark! The wind doth whisper secrets through the amber leaves, and lo! The Season of Crispness descendeth upon us like a noble guest draped in wool and wistfulness. 🍁 Dost thou feel it too? The ache for warm cider, the rustle of dreams beneath knitted shawls, the bone-deep pull toward something ancient and uncanny? As the veil betwixt worlds thinneth (👻 oooOooo!), I beseech thee: What intention shall thou set for this enchanted span ‘twixt equinox and frost? Shall ye conjure courage? Or banish procrastination like a foul spirit? Speak, kinfolk! Speak of thy aims, thy quests, thy haunted hopes! Let us be a fellowship of fall. Verified: That is much more fun than day-job work.
