Another commission, this one for @lness.bsky.social for her website! I'm a bug enthusiast so it was great fun to draw all the colourful bugs and portray them in a positive light.
A woman with dark, curly hair and a man with a blonde viking-cut stand under a bright sky. Flowers and many bugs surround them. They're both wearing bug net hats.

I had a great time today at my local Barnes & Noble meeting with readers and signing books! It was my first-ever signing event and I sold 16 books, 14 of them to total strangers 😱🎉

inished this commission for @millieabecassis.com! This will be a freebie with copies of Bright City, Shattered, available soon from Polymath Press. Millie gave me a copy so I could come up with this concept and it's a fabulous novella. So I was very happy to bring this to life!

Coming June 2025 at Polymath Press, BRIGHT CITY, SHATTERED is a sci-fi mystery novella set in a fictional city that feels like a character itself.

#PosterPit #PosterPitP #SF #M #A
A pitch in the format of a movie poster, with a picture of a woman looking to her left, her face not visible. The background is a blurry image of a building at night. The scene makes it look like she is about to go into the building. At the top of the poster, above the book's title, are text vignettes reading "retro futurism" "murder mystery" and "isolated city". Below the title is a brief description of the plot that reads "Bright City never sleeps, thanks to C3’s luma-powered electricity. When C3 CEO's niece is found dead on the company’s premises, the investigation is botched. Only Reine, C3’s new head of security, seeks the truth—even if it means risking her job, her reputation, and her freedom."

Character moodboard for Lucas Rhine, subtitled "gendarmerie commander, noumenmancer, treasonist". Images include a gloomy-looking soldier, a painting of a naval battle, and a dark gothic corridor.

oop nevermind, new tiny book. this one is @morkalmarrh.bsky.social’s currently querying novel CYANOSIS in the style of a 70s pulp sci-fi paperback.
a photo of a miniature book being held in two fingers. it has a washed out blue cover decorated in white, silver, and black. the same tiny book, but showing its spine. the same tiny book, but showing its back cover and the mostly unreadable summary blurb.
