I think #UnhingedPit suits me. I’m posting all at once since my toddler overlords would never allow… what’s it called? Free time.

Hate to toot my own book’s horn, but… #UnhingedPit Hard to beat a horror romantasy, amiright? 👻🚢💕

Another high-quality drawing #UnhingedPit Lovers but also ghosts but also a sinking ship but also lovers 💕👻🚢

#UnhingedPit please (Brooklyn accent) It’s got horror, it’s got ghosts, it’s got lovers that used to hate each other but now need each other to survive 💕👻💕

A mini-review of a book I finished back in February: Counting Sheep. It’s a quiet, sweet sort of work like trudging through a field in winter. A crunch of gravel underfoot and mist billowing at the mouth on a crisp morning. Sad and soft and dreary in a bittersweet sort of way🐑🐏

One of my hobby dreams is to have the chance to learn scrimshaw (sustainably), but even if it’s not on whale bone, I love to imitate the textures of historical illustrations ✍🏻 #OracleWIP map

If you found a thousand butterflies living in the walls of your grandmother’s rundown antique shop, would you be worried? Melissa isn’t!

Read about her disturbing discovery in my new short story: The Fluttering 🦋

I’ve never drawn a map for one of my books before, and this mayyyy be my new obsession 😍 #fantasymap

A doodle for the everlasting #StarlitBog graphic novel that I will finish eventually. I have the whole thing sketched out, surely that counts for something??

Would I save time by ✨not✨ bedazzling every frame? Sure, but at what cost? At what cost 🧐

Testing out colors and textures for the #PortfoliOasis illustrations. Sometimes I wonder if I’m being preparing well or if I’m just procrastinating because I’m afraid to start 🤪 Let’s pretend it’s the first one
