“I never could have joined them, Painter thought, numb. No matter how skilled my painting, no matter how hard I worked, I would never have been accepted. I’m a nobody from a small town.” #BrandonSanderson #ArtWithoutAudience #YumiAndTheNightmarePainter #cosmere #PainterIsMe #ArtMirrorsLife #ooofff

Day 5 of #cosmereinktober2026 was "Maven", so I drew my Queen, Navani Kholin, adjusting settings on her fabrial bracer. #cosmereinktober #Cosmere #Maven #Stormlight #Navani #fabrial #BrandonSanderson

Day 4 of #cosmereinktober2026 was "Harsh", so I drew my favorite grouch after Oscar, Vasher. He's a good dude, but he is... HARSH. #cosmereinktober #Cosmere #Warbreaker #Stormlight #Nightblood #Vasher #BrandonSanderson

Day 3 of #cosmereinktober2026 was "Mark", so I drew an emerald mark, all chock-full of Stormlight. #cosmereinktober #Cosmere #Sphere #Stormlight #Mark #BrandonSanderson

Day 2 of #cosmereinktober2026 #cosmereinktober was "Believer", so I drew Amaal, with the best religion EVER. Sorry it's late, last night I was running a #CosmereRPG session. #Cosmere #Hemalurgy #FiresofDecember #Believer #BrandonSanderson

Day 1 of #cosmereinktober2026 #cosmereinktober was "Blood", so I drew one Hemalurgic Spike, lightly Used. As for "Ink"tober... the wet stuff in markers is called ink, so I say marker drawings count.

I'm gonna give it a go again this year. We'll see how far I make it. #cosmereinktober2026 #cosmereinktober

Today I noted due to my memory condition I’ve already lost all functional memory of my beloved dogs who passed in 2021. I remember having them. I know academically I loved them. I remember their names and some facts. But the real stuff is gone. Just like it is for Nana, Daddy-Pa, & Mom. Kill me.

I don’t post much anymore, so if I do, it’s important to me. If you like HUMAN art and the fact PEOPLE still make it… you should think about backing this. If you can’t back, please share. Kate’s art is fucking DOPE, and you’ll be happy to have some of it. www.kickstarter.com/projects/kat...

What’s this? Trace… made an ART? And TRADITIONAL art at that. This is my PC Aja, for a D&D game at Natural Twenty on Mondays. Aja is a Neutral Good Paladin who is built to be as close to an Edgedancer #KnightRadiant from #StormlightArchives as D&D 2024 allows. He’s pretty close.

Proof of concept of my Marble Racing setup.

I see Bluesky has introduced group chats and I haven’t been invited to any. Le Sigh.

I recently reread “Warbreaker” and I read this passage thinking… did @brandonsanderson.com just have Lightsong “Archer” the Queen of Colors? He did. The passage demanded a meme. That meme did not exist… so I drew it. Real, human art, not AI. #cosmere #warbreaker #Archer #BrandonSanderson

"I think it's worth to have a cost of, unfortunately, some gun deaths every single year so that we can have the Second Amendment to protect our other God-given rights. That is a prudent deal. It is rational. Nobody talks like this. They live in a complete alternate universe." - Charlie Kirk #Karma

For Elantris Chapter 3, I drew Hrathen. Sorry it took so long, I agonized over the armor. #Elantris #BrandonSanderson #Hrathen #Cosmere #FantasyArt #DigitalArt #FantasyIllustration #BookIllustration #RedArmor #Derethi #CharacterDesign #BookLover #ArmorDesign

Elantris, Chapter 2. Princess Sarene was the whole chapter, so... I drew her. #Elantris #BrandonSanderson #Cosmere #PrincessSarene #Sarene #FantasyArt #FanArt

This is my new Art Project. Follow it if you want. It's also in Insta. www.instagram.com/inordinately...

I want to play #cosmereRPG by sphere light. So I made these LED rechargeable sphere lanterns from pickle jars. #TTRPG #DIY #upcycling #LEDlights #Cosmere #BrandonSanderson #Stormlight #StormlightArchives #spheres #gamingprops #handmade #tabletopprops

It’s always “not about me” but somehow I always seem to be the one left behind anyway. And is it even real, or just an irrefutable illusion crafted by my brain? How would I ever know the difference? Can I? #lonley #AuDHD #trapped #hopeless

And now, we tend to our blistered feet. Thanks to @sisterdino.bsky.social for taking me to CVS. #STLV #STLV2025 #Cosplay #breakinyourboots

#artists on Bluesky, I’m posting #OldArt to build a feed for peeps to find & look back on. I’d love shares, if you want. For #Inktober2024 I did #pinuptober instead, planning to do a Copic marker drawing per day. This was as far as I made it. Days 9 & 10.

#artists on Bluesky, I’m posting #OldArt to build a feed for peeps to find & look back on. I’d love shares, if you want. These were some various #handlettering projects. On #wildstyle slap of my Radiant order, two for my brother’s funk band, and a beer label for a local Las Vegas microbrewery.

#artists on Bluesky, I’m posting #OldArt to build a feed for peeps to find & look back on. I’d love shares, if you want. I spent tons of energy on this #SavageWorlds campaign, “Erathes.” Imagine if #MtG “Outlaws of Thunder Junction” were well thought-out. I doubt anyone will ever play it with me.

#artists on Bluesky, I’m posting #OldArt to build a feed for peeps to find & look back on. I’d love shares, if you want. Here are all my self-insert OCs in various #BrandonSanderson #Cosmere worlds. L>R: Tracer, #Cytonic; Ratta, #Mistborn #Era2; Trilli, #StormlightArchive; & Dace, #Elantris

#artists on Bluesky, I’m posting #OldArt to build a feed for peeps to find & look back on. I’d love shares, if you want. Did a stint in a @desertofshadows.bsky.social #Vampire #LARP as Argent Del Lasombra. I enjoyed making props, including “The Harpy’s Call” an in-game newspaper.

#artists on Bluesky, I’m posting #OldArt to build a feed for peeps to find & look back on. I’d love shares, if you want. Did a stint in a @desertofshadows.bsky.social #Vampire #LARP as Argent Del Lasombra, an Arcane Scientist, a concept that did not fit the story. Maybe I’ll make a new character.

#artists on Bluesky, I’m posting #OldArt to build a feed for peeps to find & look back on. I’d love shares, if you want. End of 2023 I picked up #whittling. DaddyPa whittled, so I thought I’d learn. Still love it. Gave Sanderson that Doomslug at #Dragonsteel ‘23 & chat about scouting and carving.

Working on the Atlas for my new project. Here are my plots for the plate tectonics and ocean currents. This lets me know there mountains, deserts, rivers, and rain forests belong. It’s a world so Earthlike tropes still work, but with fantasy shit & only sorta real history so I can change whatever.

Followers… follow this guy. Great Artist, even better dude.

#artists on Bluesky, I’m posting #OldArt to build a feed for peeps to find & look back on. I’d love shares, if you want. In 2023 I did #Inktober for the first time. I hated it, but I got through it. Most were terrible, I’ll post the OK ones. I have an old injury making traditional art difficult.
