Knots and More

I didn’t mention the 2nd thing I intended to do with my time while I query authors for Salamander and the Unscarred Mind.
I’ve been exploring Celtic knots. I’m an amateur with them, but I believe this style is worth pursuing because this is an important part of my heritage. I want to preserve this form of art. It’s also marketable in its own way, which I’ll explore. The style also helps me sidestep some of the weaknesses in my own ability.

And about those. I have bizarre obsessions and they lead me to neglect things. Among my obsessions are textures and decorative patterns in architecture and clothes. As a result, all my energy has gone into those things. After having this trend pointed out to me several times, I’ve been made aware that my characters and their clothes are weak. I’ve been made to see the error in my ways, especially since the complaint has been repeated several times. So I’m returning to my illustrations and giving the characters the love and attention they deserve. Forgive my lateness in doing so. I’ve been obsessed with all the other parts of the art.
For instance, I’ll be traveling to Las Vegas this summer to collect architectural decorative detail references. The architecture there is amazing!
