I'm normally just a writer, but I've dipped my toes into doing some visual art for my stories too! First one is for What it Becomes, second is for Algharib. Hoping to do more in the future!

Dark academia x DIY punk

Determined to have one last great summer after graduation, best friends Kat and Molly must navigate toxic men and the systems that protect them, small town secrets, and the Appalachian gutter punk scene without losing themselves, or each other.

#QuestPit #Q #A #LF
On a pale floral background, surrounded by line drawings of flowers and mushrooms, text reads ‘An agent’s guide to This Used To Be Home by Grace E. Ludlow! 94,000 words contemporary literary fiction’. Below on a stained napkin reads ‘Best friends Kat and Molly look forward to one last summer together in their small college town before going their separate ways. Kat works at the town diner and ponders her future while Molly accepts an exclusive internship with a top entomology professor- an opportunity that can kick start her grad school experience. However, when a mysterious man whose handsome face hides a checkered past takes the open line cook position at the diner, the girls’ lives are irrevocably changed. Seduced by his carefree gutter punk lifestyle, the girls must navigate toxic men and the systems that protect them, redefining their identities post-college, and their own complicated relationship to make it through the summer without losing themselves or each other’. On a white background, a tan piece of paper holds a text block which reads “The town of Charlesburg, Virginia died in the summers. Well, not really, but like most other towns centered around a major university, about three quarters of the population did leave after graduation weekend. May lay heavy on the town like frosting on a cinnamon roll, the syrupy-sweet heat melting into the valley and running through the streets. The buses, typically so punctual during the semester, ran a limited schedule, leaving Katlyn Fredricks to walk the half mile from the apartment she shared with her roommate Molly to her job at the town’s diner. It wasn’t too bad, at least if she worked the opening shift. Setting out before six meant she avoided the heat of the sun, amplified by the weighty humidity of southern Virginia. Even in the early morning hours, it curled around Katlyn with sticky fingers, causing her uniform shirt to cling to her skin. She kicked at a rock on the sidewalk, scrolling through the music downloaded to her phone. Her fingertips caught on the crack that ran through the screen as she selected a song to help her wake up a bit, at least until she could grab a cup of coffee. The sun crested over the blue mist of the mountains that cupped the town like a set of hands, the cicadas quieting from their nighttime serenade. If only she had the time to appreciate her surroundings more, go for a hike or take a lazy day floating on the river like a typical college-aged kid. Unfortunately, the gavel of rent hung over her head, so work took precedence.” The page is titled ‘first page’ and the text is surrounded by a scientific drawing of a butterfly, a few silver studs, a receipt, a ticket, a few colorful leaves, safety pins, and a butterfly-shaped enamel pin. On a green fern-printed background are four book covers. The page is titled ‘comps’. The first book is Demon Copperhead by Barbara Kingsolver, along with a note that says ‘Appalachian setting’. The second is Nana by Ai Yazawa with a note that says ‘Homoerotic roommates + punk culture’. The third is The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo with a note that says ‘Bisexual friends to lovers’. The last is for the Amazon original Fleabag with a note that says ‘Messy 20-somethings with bad taste in men’. Also in the image are cutouts from a guide about butterflies, some graffiti, studs and safety pins, a dried rose, and a brass pin shaped like a dragonfly. A cassette tape case sits in the center of the page with words written on the back insert. It reads “ Trope playlist- friends to lovers, love triangle (that’s actually a triangle!), own voices Queer/Neurodiverse rep, open door romance, small town secrets, manic pixie rat man, dark academia x DIY punk, breaking the cycle, coming of age”. At the top left corner is a QR code with a note saying ‘Listen to the Playlist!”. Behind the tape is dark paper with a star pattern. At the bottom left is a pack of cigarettes as well as a cigarette beside it and two safety pins. The bottom right is an illustration of a bee landing on a flower. The top right has a white graduation tassel as well as another bee illustration. At the top center is another image of a butterfly.

Algharib Almuqanae (my bellydance AU fic) was inspired by my recent return to my second favorite hobby after writing! I started dancing in 2014 at college but had to take a ~6 year hiatus after moving away. I was inspired after watching a performance to make the bbs dance :3 #acolytesummer

In the first draft, I had a dream sequence that I subsequently cut and then much later added back in a totally different spot. Here's a snippet!
Molly’s world had grown to the size of giants. Rather, she seemed to have shrunk. Standing up, she turned her hands over, examining her limbs with fascination. Stacks of books cluttered the surface of the wooden table she stood on, the gaps between like narrow canyons made of striations of paper and leather. She traversed the open pages of a notebook, the looping handwritten letters as big as her bare feet. Heel to toe, she balanced along the printed lines of the page like a balance beam, her arms outstretched.
