Hello, I am Shell Green! I'm an artist, author, and weirdo.

I've published some books. And I'm working on another, very special project called Fairy Seasons.

Fairy Seasons is one of 20+ projects in The Book Bazaar, a book fair sort of thing on Backerkit. Check out my project and the others if you've got the spell slots.

The image is of a cover for a book called "Fairy Seasons" by Machelle Berglund. On the cover is a fae figure made of two different halves. The half on the left is pristine and golden hair, a perfect fairy. The right half, unseelie in appearance, is dark. Their hair is unkempt and oily. Their clothes are ragged and dirty. Surrounding the figure are several vines and flowers.<br /><br />In the top corners, there is a stylized, golden sun as well as a crescent moon.<br /><br />The cover was created by the wonderful artist, Thomas S Brown.

JUST LAUNCHED on Kickstarter! I'm proud to announce that my short horror comic, OLD SOULS, is being published by Cloudscape Comics.

In the woodsy mountains, Amarante lives in a cabin with her talking plants. Every night, she is compelled to hike deep into the forest in search of what she calls "beauty"... but she finds a corpse full of holes. Check it out:

Spooky comic book cover. Title reads, in loopy font, "Old Souls, by Jackarais." A silhouetted figure riddled with pulsing red cutout holes stands in the foreground, face obscured by pine trees. A woman crumples to the ground, crying, on the other side of some invisible square plane separating them both.

Comic page of Bicycle Boy. Panel 1: Isaac rides his bike, flustered. He thinks, "Why the fuck did I say that?!" Panels 2-4 display architectural shots of a vast, italian renaissance-style library. Dialogue overlaid reads: "I can't stop thinking about her." "Shut up about the damn bird..." "They say the canary was the most beautiful thing anyone ever saw. The blood of the enemy on her lips, black hair, milky white skin..." Panel 5: Mitsuru places red books on empty shelves, while Asher fantasizes. "And big tits", Mitsuru adds, "don't forget big tits." Panel 6: "I think of her, and I know we are blessed." waxes Asher. "They never said that..." insists little Isaac. The soldiers crowd the panel with their laughter. Isaac scrunches up his washcloth, so small, in the background.

Panel crop of Bicycle Boy. Isaac rides a bike loaded with deliveries through Fort Anne's city streets. His wheel crushes a smartphone. Around him, a bustling scene of strong men smashing electronics and painting windows red. The lieutenant carts her own delivery tricycle - outfitted with a massive crate full of food and munitions - in the foreground.

Reverse shot of Cortez's bunker laboratory, showing a side of the room we haven't seen before. In contrast it is very messy, boxes and prostheses strewn every which way, lights knocked out of the ceiling and free wires hanging. Smack dab in the center is a weird diorama of feathers, wires, and machine + prosthetic parts made to look like a giant dead bird. Skip leans against his father's desk. Poet looks on and asks aloud "But...why?"
 
On this week's page of Bicycle Boy, Poet isn't handling the exposition well.

Hey everyone!
My Spouse just opened a # for their Heart Shaped Ita Aprons!

An Ita bag is a bag that has a special insert that you can use to show off your enamel pins! This is the same concept, except it's a cute and frilly heart shaped apron!

They just opened the campaign so you can still get early bird prices. They come in two sizes, both the same price, and hopefully a variety of colors!

Oh gosh!! My webcomic, Amphiox, launches this Friday on the 16th! It is about magic doom eels.

It will update one page per day until the story is complete. Each page includes a full text transcript so everyone can read along.

Bookmark it here:
http://amphiox.hmcgill.art

Image depicted is the cover to the webcomic, Amphiox. It's a black cover with criss-crossing blue serpent coils taking up most of the background. The coils writhe around each other with faint glimmers of scales highlighted, before vanishing into darkness. This is a teaser for the beast that will be encountered and explained within the webcomic.<br /><br />Layered over the writing coils of the Amphiox is its tail, oddly centered and still compared to the rest of its body. An amphiox's tail ends in a fin with rounded tips. The fin's color is a bright, bioluminescent gradient composed of yellow fading into bright skyblue, before tapering into a darker cerulean. The tail has vibrating red highlights. It casts a rainbow of highlights onto its own scales. Attached to this tail are two more, lesser pectoral and dorsal fins, in cerulean blue. The pectoral fin pokes out near the tail, and the dorsal fin is further up, and larger.<br /><br />Layered onto the tail is a vertically-aligned title text: AMPHIOX
