I first read it when I was 12 or 13 😭 and I found it really powerful!

And they're done! I'm so happy with how this turned out. I'm starting to feel a little more confident in being able to produce finished illustrations in traditional media, not just studies. 😊This is watercolor + gouache., with a little bit of color pencil and pastel for final touches.

I KNOW. Like, god bless this man who she frequently describes as being plain to borderline ugly. It's so boring that love stories now are based on the groundbreaking premise that "two extremely hot people, *against all odds*, find each other and fall in love"

Deerskin! such a beautiful fairytale of a book full of trauma but also, dogs 😌 wonderful dogs

You're telling me, I just reread a fantasy book I love from '93 that ends in the main character period blood blasting the floor of a throne room during a wedding. Hell yeah, the spice must flow.

Will never stop reposting Rose Schmits's beautiful cryptid vessels any time they show up on my feed.

There are so many fantasy and sci fi books I love from the 80s/90s that would never COULD NEVER be published today and its such a loss.

Art & Nationality ☀️

Thank you 😌❤️

Shipping off some prints to a fundraiser in Kansas City I’m donating them to. Always nice to see my work as a big juicy piece of physical paper

New work.

This Thursday at the Revue Cinema - Designing the Movies presents a 60th anniversary screening of the classic, hugely influential BLOW UP.

Starring David Hemmings and Vanessa Redgrave, this is a must watch!

I'm not religious but it's statements like these that make me crave a bigger, worse hell. Hell 2

Illustration, in greens, ochres and yellowish neutrals -- view from above through the limbs of a tree, dark green leaves frame Kirsten, with short blonde hair, wearing a blue dress, crouched over the prophet in the middle of a road. He is laying flat on his black, in old torn up and patched pants, suspenders and a dirty grey tshirt. She is closing his eyes. A pool of blood spreads underneath his head. Around them, three knives and a shotgun radiate out from their figures. It's a sunny day.

Death of the prophet, one of seven interior illustrations for Folio Society's edition of STATION ELEVEN. This was such an interesting piece to draw -- the death of the prophet happens in the middle of the day, in summer. A sunny death scene is a delicate challenge. It goes on sale tomorrow!

I run on a dirt trail that absolutely no motorist would find themselves accidentally running on. I have so many questions but I also want none of the answers.

I’ve seen many things while running outside in LA — man in business suit jogging, woman in full Victorian outfit stroll, shirtless Rob Lowe, a man w twenty dogs — but never before have I seen a full blown psycho running in a motorcycle helmet.

But unlike Seattle, Ol’ Tinseltown is a city of PROUD PERVERTS.

LA Metro, you evil geniuses. This reminds me of when Seattle briefly called their streetcar the South Lake Union Trolley and “RIDE THE S.L.U.T.” crop tops were being shot out of tshirt cannons by the eager public until Seattle backtracked like cowards.

haha honestly, AGING. I’m 39 and in the past four years my hair has DRIED. OUT. it’s awesome. I used to have hair that got greasy in twenty minutes, now I have hair that absorbs water like a parched skeleton in the desert. It’s turning into a witch broom. But before the miracle of aging: dry shampoo

Inner dialogue: is Kendra attacking me, I can’t tell

Meme of a man clutching another bleeding man on the floor of a room. The man says "Get up! We've more changes." The man bleeding on the floor says "Please, let me die."

Army crawling my way through the most tedious revision rounds on two different jobs, I have so many .PSDs of these files I am losing my mind

More scandalous nudes for the puritanical mods of @bsky.app to mislabel as sexual

Yes! Of course they do! This was my logic. I was like well, I could make it look like a 2000 freshly redone bathroom, but let’s be honest a lot of houses don’t ever get redone, especially rural homes or homes owned by the same people their whole lives, so it would probably still look like the 80s

Also shout out to my Donald for being my corpse sheet model. No one lays down on a bed while I drape him in fabric like Donald does — no one.
