Firey's Art and Stuff

Blog to document my art journey. There will be detours and lots of wandering. I like to think there is a direction to my randomness. You can also find me on instagram and here: https://fireystavern.wordpress.com

Writing is going well an honourable mention in Elegant Literature at the beginning of the month, and long listed in Furious Fiction yesterday.

Writing and publishing a book doesn't feel like a pipe dream.

A break from writing and screens.

I haven't done a lot of drawing lately, but a lot of writing. If you're curious here is one story (https://fireystavern.wordpress.com/2025/08/08/road-signs/) and more where this one lives. Have a read and a look around, maybe leave a comment if you have time. I'll start sharing links to them when I post and work on making cool story art too.

Happy New Year! Let's start the year with some art :)

Just playing with colors and brushes in Affinity.

Sometimes playing with colors is enough. Especially after a migraine.

I don't know why but I find this very satisfying. Just a random experiment and yet ....

No plan, just vibes. Nothing wrong with a raven flying through a pink background filled with little skulls. Right?

For fun there see if you can find the unique skulls: upside down, sideways, cross for eyes, bird skull, and a heart sneaked in.

Christmas lights + good camera + interesting angle + close up

Just a fun little photo that I wanted to share.

An old sketch (done like 5 years ago) finally getting some colour. Watercolour wash and acrylic paint on top. I'm damn rusty but happy with it.

A simple doodle, it was relaxing and made me happy. Hope you like it.

It's autumn, which means pumpkin and spooky everything. Right?

Alcohol marker, colour pencil and a touch of brush pen for the lettering.

@rapidpunches am I still in time to submit to your zine? I can't find the post somehow....

Sometimes it's just about playing with the colours. Nothing fancy, just a peaceful moment with the markers

I've added writing to my creative activities and one of my story performed rather well in a contest. The contest is hosted by Writing Battle and I made it into the top 64 within the road trip genre. My story had to include the prompts fool and rocking chair. You can read the story here if you're curious. It's a nano fiction (250words limit)

A crane sketch for the weekend.

I have done crosshatch shading in forever so don't look too close please.
