I’ve been trying to do more book illustration type stuff, and was inspired by A Forgery of Fate by Elizabeth Lim - One of my favorite reads this year!. It’s a retelling of Beauty and the Beast set in a fantasy version of China. Also the main character is an artist, so… 😆😍 #bookillustration

Got inspired by a photo on the @sktchy.bsky.social app that reminded me so much of Dorothy from one of my favorite books, The Secret Keeper by Kate Morton 🥰 #fanart #bookillustration #katemorton #characterart

Quote with your night art 🌚🌙✨

“Desert Night” - I grew up in Arizona, so when Nnedi Okorafor described her experience of driving deep in the desert late at night, I knew exactly what that felt like, and had to draw a picture of it. 🥰

There is something so uniquely beautiful and wholesome about the communities that gather at the skating rink. Children and seniors. Teens, parents, couples, ice skaters practicing their form. Nobody is judged for being a new learner, and nobody is begrudged their showboating. Just immaculate vibes.

I have, yet again, preordered the same book multiple times because I forgot that I already ordered it and the duplicate order was from a different website 🥴

Cakes are one of my creative pursuits that can only ever be a labor of love because I enjoy making them, but trying to monetize and get paid what the time and effort is worth to me just sounds like a nightmare 😆

So happy to share this commissioned piece for @acguesswrites.bsky.social‘s upcoming special edition! I always love getting to draw a dragon. 🥰

The way gambling game ads are portraying themselves as a side hustle is actually diabolical. They are out of hand lately. 😑

Eunice may be giant now, but that isn't going to stop her from returning to her roots between whatever new, big adventures await her.

Finally finished my illustration that was created through @paulscottcanavan.com’s 8 week mentorship “Mastering Imaginative Realism”. Really feel like I pushed myself to the limit and learned a ton! Plus ended up with this final painting 😄

Had to take a short video of the cicadas this evening, they were so loud! I really can’t fathom how anyone could find this annoying - I find it pretty magical. I always think of @nnedi.bsky.social when the cicadas sing. You inspire me to stop and appreciate nature’s magical moments!

Quote with your failed unpublished art ✨🫠

Let's show that making mistakes isn't scary

Started this one and just… didn’t know how to finish it. I think the main problem is that it’s the kind of illustration that needed more prep work but I jumped straight into rendering with just a loose sketch

I just finished a book on audio and was literally fixing to purchase a hardcover because i really enjoyed it and I love the cover illustration… till I flipped through and saw one of the main characters names is spelled Phelan. PHELAN.

I’m sorry the ick is so strong 😭
