My longlisted entry for the Folio Book Illustration Award.
Researched quite a few things that gross me out, namely eye injuries and insects😅. The spider is a jorō-gumo. V. pretty V. creepy😬.

An illustration of tangled thorns and insects in the evening blue light. A closer look reveals a scratched up hand reaching out and a partially hidden face with the eye scratched and blinded.

You know you can just not use AI, right?

You can make a choice not to be part of this.

Even if your job uses it, YOU don’t have to in your normal life. You don’t have to let your kids use it.

You didn’t have it three years ago. You can just…be on Team Human. You can choose.

Can I reshare my past Korean folktale #KidLitArtPostcard about Resistance 👇🐯🐶

Hi #KidLitArtPostcard!

Once upon a time in Korea, there was a tiny sickly stray puppy. A scary tiger spotted the puppy & thought she’ll make an easy snack. But the unexpectedly feisty puppy kept running in & out of rabbit holes in the ground, making fun of the tiger. (1/?)
A tiny but feisty puppy is coming out of a scary tiger’s a-hole, killing him with intestinal & anal rupture

Quick #topnine post before 2024 is over. Hope you've all had a lovely year. No "new year, new me", just will carry on making little improvements where possible - try not to beat myself up over the "shoulda, woulda, coulda"s. Here's to 2025🥂

two posts from threads first is from @camillecardonaa and says: I just found out that only 1.5% of Japan's population is Christian and I'm heartbroken. second is a reply from @orangedweller and says: Hi. Japan's homicide rate is 07% per 100K. United States homicide rate is 5.7% per 100K. Japan's unhoused population in 2024: 2,820. United States unhoused: 653,104. Japan also has one of the highest food security rates in the whole big world. Meanwhile, in the US, 18 million people are food insecure. Maybe this Sunday you can ask the Christians what their bible says about poor people and murder. Sorry bout your heart.
