My illustration inspired by Book IV of The Iliad, featuring Eris! An agent of chaos, war, and battle, I tend to picture her as spritely and childlike.

I'm revisiting The Iliad right now for a readalong, and loving it so much!

A sensual and beautiful story that burns hot and cold. I tried to capture it with this illustration!

A beautifully surreal '70s love story. Dreamlike in the best way.

Had a lot of fun with this illustration!

This suspense-filled story is fully grounded, yet teeters on magical realism! It's amazing, and I loved illustrating it.

Another amazing story I got to illustrate. Such stark, haunting prose.

This story is hilarious, and I'm very glad I got to illustrate for it! Was able to resist the temptation to draw a cartoonish talking boob.

A standout story that wonderfully captures the weirdness of dreams. So proud I got to do the illustration for it!

I'm participating in an advent readalong of The Iliad, and I'm going to try to post an illustration inspired by each chapter!

This piece is inspired by an event from book one.✨
