Laan 🌟 Illustrator-Author

Well, fun fact, I’ve never drawn a Vampire for funsies. I’ve drawn witches and ghouls, zombies and brains, pumpkins and reapers, even yokai, but no Vampires 😅

So if you see this and, like me, your Vampire art is somewhere or nowhere, quote instead with your ghoulish art ✨

cover of ZOMBIE AND BRAIN ARE FRIENDS with a zombie farmer boy lying in the grass with an anthropomorphized brain

Very conflicting emotions today as I celebrate TWO book birthdays. I'm very proud of NOT LIKE EVERY DAY *and* ZOMBIE AND BRAIN ARE FRIENDS. Both sold in the exact same month in 2022 to different champions (editors) who have been so supportive and wonderful to work with.

SO SICKCITED!!! 😆🎉💚

Grab yourself a copy wherever books are sold! Shambling in September 2nd 🎉

One week until ZOMBIE AND BRIAN ARE FRIENDS shambles in!!

I’m SO excited to share the cover for AT THE COOKOUT, my author-illustrator debut, coming April 7, 2026!

I have not been here for a very long while, pretty sure that hot minute turned into however long it’s been.

However I waddled in to say hi! How have y’all been? I hope you’re taking time for yourself this summer ☀️ or winter if you’re on the flip side ❄️
