SylverLight

**The Southeast's Largest Outdoor Art Gallery**

A while back, I was made aware that Atlanta's Midtown Alliance was working on a massive art project for the city & had an open call for local artists. I was immediately intrigued and knew I wanted to submit - the first hurdle was figuring out which pieces to send! (The maximum allowed was 5) ...

When the notice came in that FOUR of my pieces were selected for the project, I was floored! Absolutely blown away. Then it was a waiting game as we eagerly anticipated receiving the word that all the artists' pieces were up & ready - and our embargoed information could be shared. Seemed to take forever!!

Thankfully the day arrived when we received maps, locations, and the go-ahead to spread the word. So G & I went on a 'treasure' hunt throughout Midtown Atlanta in search of the banners in the wild.

It was hot. OMG it was hot. I ended up looking like a frazzled swamp-witch ... which, ok, isn't really that far off. BUT STILL. We had a blast, despite the heat, odd looks from passers-by, and illegal parking while we made precision strikes on each location.

If you're around Midtown, take some time to wander & see these banners. So many different styles & visions. We saw some amazing ones!

As always, my biggest thanks go to G Russell Gaynor for being my constant cheerleader & butt-kicker - both of which I need! - and an absolutely invaluable second pair of eyes while I'm running a session.

Other noteworthy shout-outs go to my two models: Chandler Steele Portier (Unzipped) & Caleb Austin Jordan (Battleworn) for being truly amazing & willing to let me 'use' them for my craziness. Y'all rock!

It has been brought to my attention that I have been woefully negligent in sharing my work. I will try to be better! :)

In that effort - a somewhat recent addition to the 'catalog'... cover art & design for 'The Vigilium' an absolutely stellar book from the lovely Cassandra Drake. Book One of 'Tarot Hunters', this novel is an absolute joy & should not be missed!

Summary & link below:

They are called the Artifacts of Power.

Throughout the Ages, devices have mysteriously appeared on Earth. Objects which bridge man to the cosmos and all its wonders. However, such power must be protected, lest it be foolishly applied and therefore wasted. That is the unfortunate story of the last Artifact, which was not protected and is now gone; destroyed by misuse and short-sightedness.

Partially to blame for that misadventure, and looking to redeem themselves, are The Vigilium – a secret society of magically-endowed members dedicated to the protection of man and the responsible use of the Artifacts. They know the next Artifact is coming, and they have chosen one of their best to lead the effort to procure and protect the device…

Her name is Naomi.

Now that Dragon Con is winding down I can share my new pieces & make an official announcement:
SylverLight has started a Tarot Deck!

The whole project will take quite a while, and we're considering a few options for how to move forward, but it has begun! 💖

A special thank you to the amazing Marilyn Chen of Liquid Sky who was up for humoring my crazy & went over and above in fabulousness for the Hanged Man card. And G Russell Gaynor who is always the support & push I need to make it happen.

More to come -
Watch this space!!
