Artist's Comments

She slipped inside the hollow hill.
The air itself seemed thick with sweetness, and breathing was disorienting.
Long, low tables were heaped with golden pears, chestnuts, bowls of bread soaking in buttery milk, pomegranates ripped in half and half again, violet petals on crystal plates, and all manner of strange delicacies. Wide silver goblets sat like toads on the tables, upright and overturned in equal proportion. Scarlet-clad faerie ladies brushed past men in torn rags, and courtiers danced with crones. Revelers danced and sang, drank and swooned. The costumes were more like some demented, organic couture. Collars rose like great fins. Outfits were composed entirely of petals or leaves. Ragged edges finished off lovely dresses. Ugly, strange, or lovely as the moon, none were plain.
"The Unseelie Court", she said aloud.

Something of a tribute to Holly Black's writings. That book has imprinted itself on my very soul, I swear. I felt very much the fey courtier here.

I swear, just looking at this, I felt fae energy. Both shots are absolutely stunning. You're a gorgeous woman. And you have good tastes in literature! I love Holly Black, and Tithe is sitting on my bookshelf, wholly devoured (yet in pristine condition).
Fantastic work.

Hah, ';pristine' is never an adjective I could use in describing my copies of her books. I literally wore out my first hard-bound copy of Tithe, and had to get another.
