High Sky Piracy

So I've been sitting on a bunch of art because I haven't had time to keep up with comments. But I think I really should share more and not worry so much. I read every comment and I reply to them here and there whenever I can, thank you so much to everyone.

This is a piece I loved creating and it's special to me because it was my first piece of work as a cover artist. This is the cover of the December issue of Crossed Genres, a great little sci-fi/fantasy magazine run by terrific people. Please check them out here:

Crossed Genres.

The birds are Rainbow Lorikeets, they're such funky little things. I hope everyone had a lovely Christmas!
