Kes Beacon

About

I am a Welsh author, artist, creative educator, and all-round creative, half in love with the sea, full in love with the light.
They/them, please.
Not currently available for hire.



Writing

Like my art, my fiction crosses genres and mixes influences. I play with themes of power, doom, and human connection, and am always ready to lean into something completely wild.Represented by John Baker, Bell Lomax Moreton.I hope to bring Oathbreaker, a science fantasy novel about quests' ends and capitalism, to the world soon.


Art

I make fantastical, dramatic art, full of striking silhouettes and strange characters and locations.


Generators

Over on itch.io, I create generators. Quests, arcane implements, character art prompts, coins and magic items? Have a look and generate your thing.


Audio/visual

On my YouTube channel I have Beacon Light, an art education series in which I talk through my processes and cover the basic principles by which I work.I also made a podcast about running tabletop games online during the pandemic. Links, including transcripts, resources, and PVP supplement below.
