Hello! Found some energy to be more active over here. I'm Alyssa, I do corporate illustration by day and fantasy/sci-fi book covers by night. I also really like dessert.
Bay folks! John and his book are both amazing, and definitely worth a trip to the North Bay on the 28th!

Birthday. Tough day. Reassess. Go forward.

Meantime, this book is fresh, new, and finding its way in the world. If you haven’t snagged one yet, you *might* still be able to score a first-edition with one of these limited-run signed prints
