Today marks the UK release* of @tkingfisher.com's latest book Snake-Eater, which (depending on how you define it) is her 50th book of fiction! In honor of this milestone I wanted to do a little retrospective of her 50 books

I think the painted version of this drawing turned out okay. 👉👈This was done in watercolors, with graphite, gouache and chalk pastel finishing touches.

Cranky bc I just realized my favorite french bakery which is where I go for my treat after therapy to make therapy less stressful is full of soy. I thought I had asked before and they were safe and a friend was like really cause I thought they weren't. Friend was right and I am *sad*.

I just finished the new T Kingfisher @tkingfisher.com #book “Snake Eater” and it is delightful. A modern fantasy in the Southwestern desert about running away and finding oneself, replete with the odd characters one finds in a very small town, some old gods, and a Very Good Dog. Highly recommend.

FYI‼️
Since I've seen it happen multiple times now: there are new scammers who copy artist's profiles and DM mutuals/followers of that artist and try to sell them something.

I would NEVER DM you first asking if you'd want a commission! No reputable artist would message you first!!

Stay vigilant!

omg frens, amazing news.. two and a half years after its release, “Don’t Ask If I’m Okay” has ‘earned out’— which means if it continues to sell then I’ll actually see royalties 🥹🥹🩷🫣🫢😭
This is a Big Deal for me personally after Furry Faux Paw floundered, and a big deal for “quiet” contemporary YA.

Weird question but does anyone happen to be driving from Mi area to CO/UT/NM area in late November?

😢It is really sad to see adorable birds dying because of the reflection on windows, so I made this illustration for some bird protection organizations to propagandize this situation.

@tkingfisher.com's new Snake Eater is head and shoulders above most of her other work, and most other fantasy, because it comes right out of a beloved, lovingly described landscape. Early on there is a line something like "The sky was so big that it was hard to think." Yes. 1/

Felix had a grand time at BooFest not too long ago, I'm so proud of how his little mind is growing and how he is growing out. He just has an amazing temperament and fabulously clean movement <3 No love in the ring but that's ok! We had a grand time together.

Baku also went to SF, he's got his GRCH and I promised him that he'd never show confo again, but he got to get recognized for his work as a Service Dog, with a few other Service and Therapy Dogs. That meant the world to me <3 Thank you for doing it BooFest <3

Oh yeah I also finished 'Cinder House' by @freyamarske.bsky.social recently and it was also fantastic! If you're someone who loves re-imagined fairytales and ghosts you should go get it

Fiction Standout #6:

Hemlock and Silver by @tkingfisher.com is an original take on the Snow White story. It features a gloriously neurodivergent protagonist - who is not the Snow White character, and it plays with standard Snow White tropes in a refreshingly nonstandard way.

@tkingfisher.com 's new book Snake Eater is fantastic and you should definitely go get it. It's an amazon first reads this month if you're an amazon person, if not support your loyal bookstore (even better, totally worth buying it)!

Thank you everyone for enjoying the short, but sweet Monster Mashtober run this year. Life got in the way, and I had to return to current work and prepping for an upcoming return to part time work. I hope I can draw more monsters next year

Happy Halloween everyone!

On Halloween I'm doing a liveread of @tkingfisher.com's WHAT FEASTS AT NIGHT.

This is the second novella in the Sworn Soldiers series and came out in 2024. Mute or unfollow if you don't want spoilers or anything to do with the fungus among us.

God right now? Being cheered on and getting shoutouts is almost as good as gold. I make a lot of work in a vacuum; especially the mask patterns. It's just me and Theo and cats alone plucking away at art most hours of the day.
