Left my wip to rest for the weekend. Now back at it with some clearer perspective. Not long until its all polished up and sent out into the world.

I hope your Monday is treating you well and you get to create something today.

I'm excited to be a part of the first season of A Midnight Kind of Place with my take on the classic vanishing hitchhiker urban legend. More info to come!

Silk and Foxglove anthology, a BIPOC erotic eco-horror anthology, with a collaged artwork of a red circle, a dragonfly, and a sensual rear end!

Please boost! If any small presses are interested, let me know!

The Dracula cover I worked on is finally revealed.

I am very stoked about this project, because doing a cover art for a classical book is a dream I didn't know I had, and also because they agreed to have the cover art minimalistic and elegant, and I AM SO HAPPY ABOUT IT.
