No Records. No Witnesses.
The archive has a slot for Black Swords and nothing to put in it. Somewhere out there the art exists and I have not found it yet, or nobody has made it. Either way, that is fixable.
Two ways to fill it
Artists: make something tagged Black Swords and send it in. New work gets credited, linked and pushed out on the gallery socials.
Everyone else: if you have seen art that fits Black Swords, send me the link. Finding the artist is my job, spotting the art is yours.
One bit of honesty: every piece on this site is hand-picked by me, so sending something in is not an automatic post. Art aimed at an empty tag like Black Swords has a much better shot than most, because these are exactly the gaps I am trying to fill, but it is still a hopeful maybe rather than a guarantee. If a piece does not make it, that is no reflection on you or your work, so please keep them coming.
