Follow the link above – or here – to get a FREE COMIC BOOK!! But it’s only one day, so hop to it!  You may need to enter “0″ as the price manually, but I tested it last night, it works.

This isn’t just a fun thing I’m giving away for fun – I mean, it is that, but it’s also an announcement: I am working on a graphic novel of the Terra Nova Expedition!  It’s a big, big job, but one I wouldn’t be happy not doing. How and when it happens depends on the amount of time I can devote to research and development, to lay a solid foundation for the book.  The episode above is a sample of my intent – if you like it, and would like this thing to happen sooner than later, please consider supporting me on Patreon.  The more support I have from independent online sources (i.e. viewers like you), the less time I will need to redirect to freelance, the sooner you’ll get it, and the better it will be.  Plus, you get perks!  Who doesn’t like perks?

Thank you so much for reading, and I hope you enjoy the book!  If you do, please share and tell your friends!

The Sea Ice Incident

The Oh Hellos: Pale White Horse

Down they fell like the children of Eden
Down they fell like the tower
As the land relinquished her ghost

Heed the sirens, take shelter, my lover
Flee the fire that devours
But the sight held me fixed
Like a bayonet against my throat

Neither plague or famine tempered my courage
Nor did raids make me cower
But his translucent skin
Made me shiver deep within my bones

It was a pale white horse
With a crooked smile
And I knew it was my time

It was the raging storm
Of a foreign war
And a face I’d seen before

The Oh Hellos: Pale White Horse

The Oh Hellos: Soldier, Poet, King

There will come a soldier

Who carries a mighty sword, 
He will tear your city down,
O lei o lai o lord. 
O lei, o lai, o lei, o lord

He will tear your city down,
O lei o lai o lord. 

There will come a poet

Whose weapon is his word

He will slay you with his tongue,
O lei o lai o lord. 
O lei, o lai, o lei, o lord

He will slay you with his tongue,
O lei o lai o lord. 

There will come a ruler

Whose brow is laid in thorn, 
Smeared with oil like David’s boy,
O lei o lai o lord
O lei,
O lai, o lei, o lord. 
Smeared with oil like David’s boy,
O lei o lai o lord

He will tear your city down,
O lei o lai o lord

Thank you to all my patrons! ❤ Enjoy this bit of silliness (and its sequel) up on my Patreon page! 

Well it’s been a real humdinger of a year. It’s sometimes hard to find reasons to make art and have fun when the world seems to be maybe literally ending? There’s been precious little good happening in the last few months, but one of the things that keeps me going is knowing there’s this group of beautiful nerds out there who continue to make my life interesting and joyful, whose support has kept me going through some very trying times, whose creativity and input constantly blow me away, and make me want to stick around and do weird stuff.

Thank you for still being here. Thank you for all your support, your encouragement, your brilliance, your incredible generosity.  A toast to you, friends! Mahal grant you all strength, endurance, inspiration, and protection in the new year.

New Tolkien book: Beren and Lúthien

mrswidgeryslodger:

A compilation of all versions of Tolkien’s tale of Beren and Lúthien will be published next year, HarperCollins has announced.

Edited by Christopher Tolkien and illustrated by Alan Lee, Beren and Lúthien will bring together material scattered throughout the 12-volume History of Middle-earth series.

The earliest version of the tale of Beren and Lúthien was written in 1917, when Beren was an Elf not a Man and the equivalent of Sauron was a large evil cat.

The story underwent considerable revision throughout Tolkien’s life, and was reworked in both prose and poetry. The new book will demonstrate this evolution in full.

Beren and Lúthien will be published 100 years since Tolkien’s wife Edith danced for him in a small woodland glade filled with hemlocks in East Yorkshire, an event he later acknowledged was the inspiration for the meeting of the immortal Lúthien Tinúviel and the mortal Beren in the glades beside Esgalduin.

J.R.R. Tolkien’s Beren and Lúthien will be published on 4 May 2017.
