For northern California folks, I'll be tabling at SJMADE's Illomart in San Jose this weekend. Table F43. I'll have some prints, cards, and fish stickers!

That's a wrap on #Loggust! Back to books, my favorite log format.

Slowly whittling away at the last leg of #loggust.

August marches on, and so does #loggust

Visiting Washington and Oregon was great #loggust inspiration.

My gushier post is over on IG, but I won a Hugo last night. Thanks to everyone who has supported me over the years, it means a lot. I've always loved books, and I still can't believe how lucky I am to I get to make covers. 🚀

Managed to fit in some water logs amidst Worldcon. #loggust

Happy cover reveal day for the next installation in @nghivo.bsky.social's Singing Hills series! I love drawing for this series, and getting to include whales is an added bonus. 🐳

Out 5/5/2026!

Admittedly half of these aren't even really logs, but bark is just too exciting. #loggust

More #loggust for fellow wood pattern fans out there. 🪵

Also, I've ventured into the deeply niche drawing challenge of #loggust.

I'll be at #worldcon next week! I've got a pretty light schedule, come hear about book covers or sit quietly at a table with me. 😂

The Memory of the Ogisi, the final book in @mosesoseutomi.bsky.social's Forever Desert series came out yesterday! I still remember being completely entranced by that first manuscript. It was such an honor getting to cover this series. Please check them out!

A little personal piece about paths and perspectives. 👁️

Weirdly not my first piece with multiple eyeballs floating around.

A bit of a companion experience to when I took the California Zephyr to SLC a few years back. We ended up chasing a snow storm through the mountains, and all the snow was fresh. ☃️

I decided to take the slow way back from LA recently. Amtrak's Coast Starlight route is very beautiful, I highly recommend if 10+ hours of staring out a train window is also your thing. 🚂

I've been trying to learn Procreate, and I finally managed to finish something! Whew. Definitely a lot to learn, but nice to make my first personal piece in far too long.

I've so loved seeing everyone's snake celebrations this year. I did a few things, but they were mostly food:

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.
