I’m really excited to share that I won the Frank R. Paul Award for Best Magazine Cover Art! My painting Stasis, a self-portrait about invisible illness, was featured on the cover of Uncanny Magazine Issue 58 🖤

#art #painting #portrait #illustration
“Stasis” is a portrait painted by the artist Zara Alfonso, and is the first piece in her series about invisible illness. A portrait painting of a girl with skin so pale she’s almost translucent, her lips are tinged blue and she gazes upward through seemingly unseeing eyes. Pale moths and winged insects cover the expanse of her face and body, blending into her skin in places.

This week, I withdrew from a speaking engagement at a public university because they sent me a list of prohibited “words & concepts.” I will not humor this censorship. It does a disservice to the stories I’m discussing & the audience, who deserve unfettered access to information & conversation.
“Prohibited words and concepts: Equity, diversity, & inclusion; anti-racism; Bias; Critical race theory; implicit bias; oppression; intersectionality; prohibited discriminatory practices; racial privilege; promoting stereotypes based on personal identity characteristics.”

It's my birthday today! ☺️
If you could spare a repost, it would be much appreciated!
A woman with pale skin, white hair in two braids, and delicate gold tattoo on her face floats in the night sky with a full moon and starry sky behind her. She is wearing a thigh length purple dress with long sweeping sleeves. There are glowing blue lines etched on the fabric of the dress, and two ribbons of light with geometric patterns are trailing behind her. A ring of magic with glowing orbs is circling around her as she floats. Commission work done for YeetMaur A dark skinned man with dark brown hair and a beard framing his jaw, dressed in a white robe and dark brown pants crouches with one hand on the ground as he swings at demons with his katana. The enemy demons are dressed in red rusting armor that looks worn and damaged. The scene is set in a bamboo forest with a path cutting through it, red banners on either side of the road. It appears to be in the afternoon, with a rich orange glow streaming in between the bamboo. A man sits in his study, contemplating a dark, box shaped artifact, while a dark spirit looms behind him. This was a commission work done for JacenLandry

I go to zoo lights every year with my family and this part is consistently my favorite section

The little clouds were new but also nice
Christmas lights wrapped around a tree in the foreground and background. Gemstone lights hang from the tree at different levels. A mountain lion is lit up in the foreground and an elephant in the middle ground Lights shaped like clouds hang from the ceiling

An illustration of an elven woman in all white, surrounded by black sphinxes with women's faces coming out of lion mouthes. The only color is bright red accents of her jewelry, crown, and the sphinx eyes.

IMO every publication and every publisher should have a clear statement about their generative AI policy. To dictate what is acceptable writer usage, yes, but also to declare their own usage (or lack thereof). Do they use it for slushreading, editing, illustration, correspondence?

About a year ago I was approached by Scholastic to pitch sketch ideas for the reprinting of Animorphs. After cryingscreamingbarfing I said YES OF COURSE. I am so grateful to have been chosen and for the enthusiasm everyone has expressed so far. David Mattingly left me some very big shoes to fill!
New cover for Animorphs #1 "THE INVASION." A boy with brown hair in a denim jacket, red shirt and green pants back flips into an anole lizard, completing the transformation in four total steps. New cover for Animorphs #2 "THE VISITOR." A girl with blonde hair wearing a black crop top, high waisted baggy green jeans and pink sneakers jumps across the page, turning into a tuxedo cat. New cover for Animorphs #3 "THE ENCOUNTER." A boy with dirty blonde hair in a baggy purple shirt, blue-grey jeans and yellow All star sneakers leaps from the top of the cover downwards, transforming into a red-tailed hawk.
