Fair faring, dear friends!

I’m in the midst of a gentle rebranding—or maybe more of a reboot. Either way, I wanted to touch base and share what’s coming!

Starting next month, I’ll be reviewing one book a month, both here and on my Ko-Fi. Each book will focus on something spiritual, witchy, creative—or a little of all three—and will inspire the art and poetry I create throughout the month.

June's book is Sigil Witchery by Laura Tempest Zakroff, so naturally, June’s theme is sigils! I’ll be experimenting with her method, sketching lots of rough ideas, refining a few into magical tools, and closing the month with a larger, final piece. Some of that journey will be posted here—but some content will be Ko-Fi exclusive for those who’d like a deeper peek.

If that sounds like your cup of tea, stay tuned—and thank you for being part of this journey. Either way, here's a sneak peak at my personal sigil in progress, and of course the book itself... if you decide you would like to pick up a copy and read along!

With magic and mischief,
Wimzy

Introducing John Tigre the Tiger of my cuddly creatures collection! This little guy turned out so well, I can't believe I did this! I am growing so quickly as an artist, and it is just so exciting! Right now all stickers are priced for 2" singles, but discounts will be available for buying multiple in the near future!

This little guy was inspired by a dear friend who loves tigers, so our little kitten was named after my friend! He's a playful little guy who loves...

Did a little of a like and it was a lot of fun!

Went to Denny's with my Grandmama and decided to sketch my flatware. It's not perfect, but I think it turned out pretty cool anyway 😄

I realize it's been a couple of weeks, I just haven't really been in a creative space really, but I drew this up last night and I think she turned out pretty neat looking! 😄

Everyone grows up SOMEWHERE, and Roach Briarwood is no different! Our beloved Himbo Faerie grew up in the quiet town of Silverbough, located in and around the Great Silver Oak just at the edge of the Thronwood Forest. The Root district is where the common folk live, where they farm, herd, hunt, and so on to provide for their peaceful tree village. The Hollow District is situated squarely in the trunk of the tree and is laid out more like apartments and cubicals carved into the inner tree itself, though some of the wealthier middle class can afford small villas that protrude into the outside of the tree with scenic views. This district is generally home to high end merchants like silk and spice traders. And finally, the Branch District, which isn't depicted here, is the home of the wealthy elite, such as nobles, heros, and the Lady of the Tree herself, who serves as the governess elected by the spirit of Silverbough.

Here are some better pictures of Roach, my beloved Himbo Faerie! I ended up loving this statue so much I have stated him as a D&D character, and plan to draw more of him in the future! So hopefully you guys like him cause there's more to come in the future! 😄

Roach, the Himbo Faerie is a sculpture I just finished using oven bake clay (Sculpey)! He took around 30 hours to complete and stands around 6.5 inches from bottom of base to wing tip! I had a lot of fun with this one, and I think he turned out pretty cool! 😄

Here I depict a concept for the Spirit Realm of Hallowdrum, Tyrethvynn. In Hallowdrum lore, Tyrethvynn is a vibrant, lush realm filled with life, color, and lights, however mortals are not generally capable of visiting Tyrethvynn in their physical bodies, with the exception of Elves, and thus may only glimpse this beautiful realm in dreams and deep meditation. As we cannot fathom the intangible, we are unable to fully comprehend the finer details or vibrant colors of Tyrethvynn, our vision being made for the physical realm, and thus we perceive only light and shadow whilst our minds are there. Even Elves who visit the Spirit Realm are only permitted within a small pocket made specially for them, and only pale pinks and dull yellows can be perceived there amongst the shadow and glow.

This piece, titled "A Light in the Dark," depicts a cave goblin investigating an unfamiliar noise, his campfire illuminating the otherwise deep dark of a vast cave network. This piece was done on black construction paper with white charcoal! Honestly I had a lot of fun with this one; negative shading is quite a bit different from the normal approach, and the challenge was quite welcome!
