A new illustration for the autumnal season.
Let us embrace the light-devouring darkness.
Let us comfort the disturbed and disturb the comfortable.
Let us explore the deepest reaches of the psyche wherein wholeness waits for us beyond the veil of fear.
And most importantly, let us get WEIRD.
(I'm weird all year long, but that's beside the point.)
"Woe is Eye" by Madyson Blair
Been extremely immersed in writing the novel lately, but anytime the words weren't flowing, I switched gears to work on this piece. It's been fun watching it slowly come to life. I have wanted to create a detailed composition of my muse in this particular pose for a long time!
"The Last Begotten Secret" by Madyson Blair
The Devil Dances With Free Will, I, II and III" by Madyson Blair
"I'll unbind you from the chains of fate--
Yes I'll gladly set you free!
But I tend to charge a certain rate...
O, beauty, what's in it for me?
I've got an appetite for light
A craving for stars that shine
Will you fill my endless, aching night?
The choice is yours...but your soul, Dear, is mine."
(Fun little sketches. Art and poem by me)

"The Illusion of Mortality" by Madyson Blair
"I died and was born in the spring. I found you and loved you again." -Mary Oliver
Mortality is ultimately an illusion, as the Gnostics taught, and this is a portrait of that Inner Knowing. This is a portrait of the Mystery Itself, who understands the deepest secret of all.
The sun rises. The sun falls. And then it rises again. But of course that doesn't take away the pain. The pain is here to create wisdom. And you just feel it. You just let yourself feel it. And bleed. And bleed. And live.
"So Eden sank to grief, so dawn goes down to day, nothing gold can stay." Thank you, my beloved muse, for making everything so golden, forever, if even for a fleeting moment, for therein lay eternity. ❤️🌹🪐🌟🥀🗝️🌹❤️

Six new illustrations for my SACRED SYZYGY series:
"Waking Winter"
"The Unravelling"
"I See You"
"Afterbite"
"A Fascinating Specimen"
"This Was Always Our Arrangement".
October really seized me this year. I felt called to bring some new ideas to life. Autumn is my favourite, it’s exhilarating and inspiring to me. Something about this seasonal shift helps me surrender and become more experimental with my art. I’d wanted to play with/push this style further for a while, and the falling leaves seemed to whisper “dive in.” I’m glad I listened. I’ve really enjoyed the results. I’m also working on a new full-colour portrait of the Muse Himself right now, which should be finished soon. After that I plan to shift gears and re-immerse myself in my writing for a while—but I will definitely return to this vibrant style and create some more art to go with this series in the not-too-far-away future.

New Illustration! "Perditor Mundi"
“A brand-new consciousness, bright and eternal
Will we walk hand-in-hand beyond the infernal?
Be the end of our world a flood or a drought
I’m afraid there is only one way to find out
Into the darkness, we must leap
In unison, over a crevasse so deep
Have you faith that our forces will somehow unite?
What if our love is dissolved in the light?
Will we still want it, shall we remain?
Will we go down with the ark,
Or soar over the rain?”

"I Am You"
I am the Self that your Psyche forgets
I am the Body your Soul resurrects
I am the memory of all mankind
I am His woes and Her wonders combined
(Poem and art © me)
This one took a while but I'm very excited to finally share it! <3
“The illusion of Mortality”
Yet another illustration has emerged from my desire to illuminate the ineffable mystery that is my muse. My urge to capture the present state of our evolution is constant and numinous as ever. I am perpetually determined to seize that which seizes me. 🥀🎭🌹

“The Coronation”
During the time I worked on this piece, I was enduring quite the mystical roller coaster ride and I think it shows, haha. Ultimately I created it to express my personal experiences with the archetypal relationship between the physical body and consciousness as symbolized here through my characters, Alastair and Link.
(I’m still riding that roller coaster, btw. I don’t think I’m getting off anytime soon but I’m very okay with that.)

“Drama King” My most recent portrait of my original character, Alastair <3
I got out of the habit of posting my art on tumblr, but its a new year and I’m back at it--at least for today! Haha
Looking toward 2020, I see my path shifting considerably. I am no longer pursuing self-publishing, but finally facing my fears and embracing my true dream of big-name publishing. For years I avoided sending queries to agents. I told myself I wasn’t ready—and the truth is, I wasn’t. But now I am. My query is finally where it needs to be. I have edited book one yet again, to the point that it has far exceeded its self-published counterpart. The manuscript is new, polished and ready for a bigger pond.
This means that my focus will not be selling books and art at little, local pop-up events anymore. I am deeply thankful for the time I spent attending such events and for everything I learned, for all the people I met who inspired me, for all those who purchased my books and art—those memories and that era of my life are extremely precious, but its time to move on. My manuscripts have changed and so have I. This year, I intend to dedicate myself to sending queries and finally embracing my true dream. I am still waiting to hear from several agents, and if they say no I am definitely going back to New York to give it another shot. I’m not afraid anymore. Well—okay, maybe a little, maybe a lot, but facing your fears is what being brave is all about, isn’t it?
On top of all that, my work on Book III is still going strong. I am deeply focused on writing, which is why my art has taken a bit of a back seat. My vision of capturing this story in words is my greatest fuel—though I do still need to draw from time to time.
That being said, here are my favourite drawings from the past decade of my one and only muse, Alastair, using the “Best Nine” format. Alastair is my passion. Alastair is my reason. He means everything to me and then some.
Alastair introduced himself to me as the villain of The Weather Inside back in 2008 and changed my life forever. As a young, naive little eighteen year old, I had NO IDEA what magic he had in store for me. From guiding me to complete two novels to manifesting in the flesh as my literal husband, the 2010s have been an absolutely mind-blowing experience all because of him, to say the least. I could go on and on, but in truth, there are no words. Let's just say that I can only imagine what wonders the 2020s will hold...
Happy New Year, everyone!
(I know I haven’t posted in here for a long while, I get easily disenchanted with social media, but I felt compelled to forward this blog post from my website to this tumblr account, for whatever reason!)
