We’ve got a signed contract and formal permission from the artist to share who will be doing the third piece! We commissioned a third work when we reached the $15,500 stretch goal – the third piece will be included in the e-book, produced as a glossy 5″ x 8″ image and included with every print book, and backers at levels 3, 4, and 5 will get an 8″ x 10″ art print of the piece as well!
Joshua Beeking will be producing this piece! He sent us this biography to use:
I’m Joshua Beeking, an illustrator from Québec City that works in both traditional and digital medias. I have been working on sharpening my skills for over 10 years. I received formal education at Quebec’s O’Sullivan College, where I earned a diploma in 2D/3D Animation and Rendering in 2012. I won first place at the UQAM digital creation contest in 2011 for best character designs. I’m currently a full time freelance artist with more than 200 commissions completed over the years, and aim to share my little touch of creativity with the world!

Joshua will be producing an undersea scene for this, since we’ve got a few stories that involve the ocean, beach, and/or merpeople! We’ve given him a high degree of creative license, and we don’t have a sketch yet, so I can’t share a progress piece, but we can share underwater works he’s done before, such as this one (there are some others, but some are not safe for work, so we’ll hold off. <3 )
With Joshua’s mastery of line work and beautiful use of light, we’re thrilled to have him to create this piece for Add Magic to Taste!
(and, teaser – he’s also a contributor to our second anthology, already in the works – it’s called And Seek (Not) to Alter Me – Queer Fanworks Inspired by Shakespeare’s “Much Ado About Nothing” and we anticipate launching a KS for it basically as soon as we’re finished with fulfillment for this one, so stay tuned – there’s lots more queer to come from Duck Prints Press! 😀 )
