So,
Haralambi Markov (aka Harry Markov) has been writing up a series about Women In Genre (you really should go peruse those posts, they are packed full WUNDERBAR.) I was astonished and delighted to discover today that I get a place in this series: Galen Dara and Visions from Beyond.
Harry says the nicest things, I'll be blushing and fluttery all day. Stuff like:
"I can best describe her work with the words stylized melancholy, because
her illustrations carry an air of sadness and possess a wilting beauty
with gothic undertones."
and
"To a point, I can’t help but be reminded of Stephanie Piu-Mun Law... where Piu-Mun Law draws from nature and light, Dara seeks out the less
savory and wholesome in her work, which results in captivating scenes
where the outlandish and the bizarre intermingle to breed absurd worlds
with wicked inhabitants."
Thank you Harry! Many blessings from the dark ones upon your head.

And now, just because, here's some Awesomeness I stumbled on today:

Okay, now, back to work, breeding absurd and wicked things... mwuahahah!
