Books 1 & 2 are out now.
Book 3 next year.

I don't know anything about the Met Gala, I don't know the date or the theme or most of the celebs or any of the designers but once a year my social media is flooded with pictures of beautiful people in weird fashion and I love it. Aesthetic enrichment for my enclosure.

I got commissioned to paint griddlehark imagined as a classic romance novel cover, which needless to say is one of the greatest commissions of all time and I had an absolute blast.
