Today I’m on time again, finally! And I get to share the work of an incredible English professional artist named Andy Fairhurst, starting with this beautiful image of Smaug the Magnificent, inspired by J.R.R. Tolkien’s The Hobbit. While Benedict Cumberbatch as Smaug was about the only thing I liked about the recent movies, I think…
A day late and a dragon short… but I found these really cute Flight Rising dragon designs for National Coming Out Day on October 11, and still had to share. This first one is called Bi Pride Skydancer by Ameican deviantartist Johayna474. That one’s for my own coming out, which I did about nineteen years ago…
This is the elegant Moonveil Dragon by artist and author Todd Lockwood, a Red Creature – Dragon in the Wizards of the Coast CCG Magic the Gathering. I love the translucent wings. The flavor text on the card reads: “Their hearts beat, their lungs draw breath, and they have one true form. I count them as…
Being a writer is like having homework every night for the rest of your life. — Lawrence Kasdan, screenplay writer and author Kasdan, the screenplay writer of some major motion pictures in the Star Wars and Indiana Jones franchises among other things, is 100% correct. Being a writer, and especially a daily blogger, means I’ve signed myself…
The forecast called for rain today, but so far I think it’s been dry… that’s all right though, because today I have kittens on the brain, so this beautiful art called Rainy Day – the best friends by Russian deviantartist Alvia Alcedo is purrr-fect. Our kittens turned six months old yesterday, and we brought them…

The problem for the would-be writer is that the brain does not necessarily distinguish between your vague and abstract goal, to…
Here’s a dragon I found and tried to post on Sunday, but I was still very sick and didn’t quite have the energy. This is a beautiful Night Fairy by Russian deviantartist Oksana, posting as Neboveria. I found it by her simple, heartfelt caption (which I’ve adjusted slightly as English may not be her first…
I almost missed my own holiday, can you believe it? Today, September 23, is Bi Visibility Day, so I found another cute dragon-representation of my own sexuality with this Bisexual Dragon by Australian deviantartist Emily, posting as ApocalypticCats (great name, right?). Emily has a cute, quirky way of drawing dragons (mostly without wings…?) that’s really growing…
Today is the Autumnal Equinox, the day of equal light and dark to mark the transition from Summer to Autumn. I thought finding an “equinox dragon” would be easy (since my Writing Thoughts post still isn’t done from last week*) but I got SO much more than I bargained for as I went Finding Dragons today… This…
Today, September 21, is the United Nations International Day of Peace, so I thought I would go find a “peace dragon” to share with you today. Here is Peaceful Slumber by American deviantartist shiari, depicting shiari’s original dragon species called the Liierra, or “Hand Dragon.” Isn’t it adorable? When I saw this art style, I just…
