I did actually make this long before a lot of my collages, like right after my piece called Crash. But since I'm at the end of my backlog, I figured my last thing would be the first thing blog visitors would see.

Photomontage/collage commissions now open.

Greyscale collages are 15 Australian dollars (digital) and 25 Australian dollars (physical).

Colour collages are 20 Australian dollars (digital) and 35 Australian dollars (physical).

Combined greyscale and colour collages are 30 Australian dollars (digital) and 65 Australian dollars (physical).

At the bottom are conditions: prices of album covers, flyers, and other promotional material are negotiable. Full payment upfront, please provide layout ideas or sketches, and guarantee artist credit. The following are not allowed: excessive gore, NSFW art, fetish art, and bigoted propaganda.

Racism in fandom spaces is actually insanely bad and if you ever try to downplay or avoid conversations about it because "fandom is supposed to be fun" then I'm not sorry to say this: You're adding on to the problem.

[blackfandom]

If POC speaking up about a fandom's racism issue offends you more than the racism itself, you need to think about that. You need to think about how POC fighting racism offends you more than the racism.

BOOK REVIEW: The Periodic Adventures of Señor 105 - Volume 3

The blog of author and journalist Kara Dennison. Books, critical essays, observations, and more.

One last book review for the month - the third and final Señor 105 novella collection! This one is my personal favorite of the three, and not just because it has a gentleman thief and a giant robot. (Though that definitely helped.

All three volumes are on sale in paperback and ebook format starting today, so definitely pick up copies! (If you're US-side like me, check out Obverse's Lulu shop.)

Hey. So I've been waiting to share this since last summer, so now that I can finally do so...

I wrote a story for Obverse's second Paradise Towers anthology: "ICE HOT"!

Along with my own short story, it also includes new stories by Stephen Wyatt (Paradise Towers, The Greatest Show in the Galaxy) and several other expanded universe alumni (Faction Paradox, Bernice Summerfield, Leftbridge-Stewart and more) as well as other new authors, all edited by Kara Dennison (The City of the Saved, Forgotten Lives).

Pre-orders are open now!

Ice Hot

Paradise Towers really is ice hot! Or at least that's what everyone told themselves at first. But then the youngsters became Kangs, the olde

[intuitive-revelations]

Reblogging again, as the full list of authors has now been published (which I wasn't sure if I could share yet the first time round):

Also featuring new stories by Grace Haddon, Tim Gambrell, Dylan Crawfoot, Finn Clark, Mags L Halliday, James Middleditch, Matt Jordan, David Richards, J.E. Hogsed and Paul Driscoll.
