You said “weird”...
As you sneered,
But, did you see?
You muttered “Odd!”,
... Friends gave a nod,
But, did you know?
Took the piss out my hair,
And made people stare,
But, am I you?
You said I should hide...
But I stand here with pride,
To me I’m true.
Happy Weird Pride Day 2024

P.S. Sorry for the slight delay, I had planned on posting before midnight, however ... the photo took longer to create than I had expected it to.
Andy J Phoenix, Sarah Conniff and Emanuele Campos all created artwork for Kaleidoscope. So I thought I'd share some of the artwork, like the beautiful concept art for Kaleidoscope (created by Andy and Sarah).
These are some early examples of the scenes, characters and styles. I will admit, I still love looking through these images. Although it was a stressful time in a lot of ways (learning to unmask etc) these images do bring back the joyful memories. The memories of my daughter being incredibly excited for the books to arrive.
Thank you Alex, Sarah and Emanuele for all you did to help shape Kaleidoscope, ... and the encouragement, kind words about the story etc early on, I definitely will not forget it. It really meant a lot to me.
