A 1/1 item I just dropped off at the #Anthrocon2024 charity auction. Kintsugi-style Agnargsilv with certificate and strap and box so you can carry it home safely. Proceeds will go to the Gray Paws Sanctuary, so bid generously!
There is only one hardcover left at the table, of Book 1. They sold out too quickly! (Book 2 hardcover was gone right away). But still a dozen paperbacks or so left! #Anthrocon2024
Big thank you to @joabaldwin.com ! I received my signed & doodled copies of books 1 & 2 the other day and I had a ton of fun deciphering the secret messages. (It only took a few hours)
Anyone who hasn't heard of the Noss Saga, I HIGHLY recommend it. I haven't been this into a book series in years!!
TODAY, right after the Noss Saga panel that goes from 6pm to 7pm, we’ll be taking a Noss Saga cosplay photo with anyone who brought their masks or is cosplaying (even if loosely cosplaying). Meet in front of DLCC 310-311 where the panel takes place.
But if you want to bid for REAL art, I also donated this sonic with human teeth, which I individually placed myself after carefully sculpting and painting luscious lips for him (please take it away, I’ve had this in my shelf at home for far too long). It’s signed!

Wanna be in the Noss Saga album? We have this and more planned for this panel at #Anthrocon2024, including a premiere of @foxamoore.bsky.social's amazing new tracks. Make sure to stop by: Saturday at 6pm. Please share, and bring friends!
#Anthrocon2024 is coming soon! I’ll be doing 4 panels and will have a table at the dealer’s den, where I'll be signing your books (bring them!) and selling signed books and prints. You can add the panels to your schedule here: anthrocon.sched.com?searchstring...
I finished @joabaldwin.com's Wolf of Withervale! I'm a fan of epic fantasy and was surprised by how much I connected with the book being written from a queer perspective first. It's not just queer representation, but really feeling "seen" and reflected in a world with big aspirations. Recommend!
Dammit... Shapeways filed for bankruptcy. End of an era. I printed so many models through them in the past decade, explored so many materials, designed so many fun things, even had our wedding rings printed there. This is only a small sample of all the designs I printed there. :(
Ooh, thank you! I don't think this one has a tuba track, but other songs in the album might. That's all up to Fox though, he's the composer, but I can let him know!
Climate scientist makes a post on BlueSky, X, and Threads on Canada Day about climate change. Massively negative response on X from terrible accounts. Good 🧵.
Friends don't let friends suffer on X under King Elon. Bring the good people here!
New piece! I struggled with this one a lot back when I started it a year or two ago, but it finally came together nice and easy when I went back and took a second look at it. 😊
I added secret messages and a signature on the title page (plus a doodle on the dedication page) for each of the books I'll be selling at Anthrocon next week. There's a ton of variety, I had to come up with a lot of different messages.

Aww, thank you! Glad you enjoyed it! <3 ... I don't have a fixed date yet, but it will likely be out by January or February, there's lots of editing to be done and gotta record the audiobook right after that (and I gotta finish the illustrations!).

Rocket launch from Vandenberg happening in 12 minutes. Look west if you are in California, Arizona, or Nevada. It's the right window for a sunlit exhaust plumes display. Follow the livestream here to see when it launches: www.youtube.com/watch?v=F6nY...
Over the weekend, I found a tiny pink plastic shoe on the ground near my office.
I placed it at eye level, on a wooden post, by the stairs.
This morning, on that same post, was this picture.
What’s this? Is someone editing a lyrics video to @foxamoore.bsky.social epic orchestral track of the Noss Saga’s “I Hear The Mountain Song” that will debut in our music panel on Saturday July 6th 5:30pm at Anthrocon? #Anthrocon2024
