Here is part of a drawing from a while ago that I want to rework. It came from researching African princesses and wanted to draw one with superpowers and action!

I'm really loving how artists use black for shadows so I have been experimenting. But then I wanted flat afro puffs too, so green to the rescue!

Referenced an image from Pinterest for this drawing. I'm sad at how difficult it's becoming to find real images beneath the ai sludge 😫

I had a random urge to draw something fairy-like. I've also been having fun experimenting with how I draw shadows.

They’re 20 backers away!!! Please get your copy if you can - it’s truly such a special body of work 😭❤️🔥
Five days to go and we're just about $3,500 away from being fully funded! We posted an update to the campaign along with a mock-up of the printed book since we had gotten the unbound proof in from the printer :)

Happy Juneteenth! I got to illustrate the poster for Saltbox Seafood Joint's Juneteenth Celebration happening today. It was really fun referencing hip hop and African posters from the present and past to make this, and a great challenge to only use 5 colors without it looking lame 😆
