A 9-panel collage. Top left square is a photograph of a warm-lighted bar. Top middle is a man with long, dark hair and a goatee. Top right is a desert with a domed city. Middle row, left, is a grey cave. Middle row, centre, is a golden/hazel eye. Middle row, right, is a subway station/train. Bottom left is a man with a stubble beard and short hair. Bottom middle is an image of two astronauts/people in white suits and helmets on a reddish terrain, looking at the moon. Bottom right is a young child with curly reddish brown hair, wearing a red beanie.

I gave my site a facelift. 💅🏻

Now featuring this beautiful portrait by my childhood best friend, Olivia Madeline. More of her stunning artwork will be showcased in the future as we collaborate on upcoming projects! 🩸🩸🩸

And even better—it’s not, nor will ever be, AI.
Screenshot of the top of a one-page author website. The background is a warm, off-white. The header (which says “J. L. Kies”) and body text (which says “Heya! I’m J. L., a writer, reader, and editor who’s passionate about stories that are inherently dark, whether by genre or theme”) is an almost-black green/blue, and the subheader text (which says “tales from a dark storyteller” and “portrait by Olivia Madeline”) is a dark ochre yellow. In the centre is an illustrated portrait of an individual with feminine features, fair skin, dark blonde hair, green eyes, and rosy cheeks against a pale sage background.
