Fauxtober: Day 33

Carrion is being helpful. Well, not really, but it’s the thought that counts. In this case assassination by dragon would not help me, but it’s nice of him to offer.

Christopher Carrion is from Abarat by Clive Barker

I’ve been re-reading Abarat again and I’m back at it again at the Krispy Kreme.

I’m so excited to be able to post my piece for the upcoming Ladies of Literature anthology!!  This is Candy Quackenbush from the Abarat series (which btw is one of my favs and totally worth reading) !

My final book cover tribute for Abarat is done. I can rest now. 

Anyways, Abarat- Princess Boa edition. 

I’ve been rereading the Abarat series. Honestly this has to be one of my favorite series of all time and its a crime I never did any fan art of it. So here’s a sea-skipper and some stitchling sketches.

barkerverse:

“But then there’s another place: I gave to my editor an Abarat painting, I gave her the picture towards the end of the first book of Malingo with the skull flowers in his hands? It’s a nice sort of Halloween picture because the colours are deliberately purple and orange and he’s got a big smile on his face; he’s very happy, this strange guy with these skull flowers in hand. I think there’s a lot of off-beat choices amongst the pages that would please a kid who doesn’t want something quite so sweet as is often offered up. But I would say, you know, don’t be too cautious, because I think you can be too cautious.”
