Best wishes for 2012, everyone — here’s to working for better artistic & imaginative possibilities in the year to come!
Thanks go out to artist Paul Sizer for permission to post his amazing art. His wife Jane Irwin is also the creator behind the online graphic novel Clockwork Game, about a chess-playing automaton in the 18th and 19th centuries. Both are worth checking out. ^_^
Beyond Victoriana 
Thanks for the posting and the nice words. Jane and I are both proud to help support your message for more inclusive and cross-cultural storytelling to any genre. We both love the good work you do here!
That’s one of the most gorgeous pieces of art I’ve ever seen. I would hang that on my wall in an instant.
