So I'm just gonna post my new About section here:


Hi! I'm Jacob Martin Peter Graham and I'm a fantasy writer, poet, graphic designer and illustrator. I've been building a fantasy world for many years now and planning/writing/rewriting a novel set there. I can't remember exactly how long it's been—just very long.


I've been on DA for… not quite as long as that, but still very long. I took a break between 2016 and 2021, and as of 8/8/2021, the extensive gallery I built up in my teens has been moved to storage. I wouldn't quite say I'm ashamed of it; it's just not relevant anymore. I don't even remember making most of it. It'll rest in the private part of my account to be nostalgically revisited from time to time. I would have deactivated this account and started again, but I have a deep hatred of discarding old things.


And now, we move forward. The current working title of my novel is IZGARV. It's well on its way to completion. Won't be long, now. (I've wanted for more than half my life to be able to say it's done!)


I hope anyone reading this can look forward to it as much as I do. I'll try to resume regular posting from now on.

And I've improved a lot in the last 5 years. I've been working as a graphic designer and learned to draw reasonably well in Photoshop, and more recently Procreate. I still haven't written that book, but it's getting along well enough. It will be worth the wait. I'm attaching one of my more recent illustrations with which I'm particularly happy. She's called Afrídil--a half human, half nixie, with a strong affinity for water.

I'm sure the few regular contacts I had have forgotten all about me by now, but I might try and get more involved in DA again, now that I'm a bit more skilled (and trying to build an audience as that novel nears its end).
