Thank you! 🩷

A cover illustration project I assigned myself. Every Halloween season I like to write short stories or paint spooky premises, and this time I combined an old tradition with a new intention! I would love to do more novel covers, so this is me manifesting!

painted closeup of Barbara Hillary in blue snow gear (warm beanie, snow goggles, and a puffy fur-lined coat). Snow flurries whisk across her face.

barbara hillary in her dreamscape, thinking about the northern lights and sitting up there in that beautiful stillness. She is illustrated in the close-up foreground with her eyes closed, then again small in the snowscape behind her, looking up at the moon amidst the polar night sky

the book cover for To the Top of the World. Illustration of Barbara Hillary with one glove off giving a thumbs up as she celebrates reaching the end of her polar journey

Today is the book birthday for To The Top of the World! A book I illustrated about the life of Barbara Hillary, the first Black woman to reach the north AND south poles (all in her 60s and 70s!) She's my hero. Grab it wherever books are sold!

It's out! My book is finally out! After all these years!!! Oh, and this is a drawing of Autumn Ackerman with her long scarf moodily flapping behind her.

OUT TODAY!!!

THE OCTOBER GIRL Book One from me and @maverickogn.bsky.social!

It's the first book in a YA suburban fantasy series with hints of Bradbury, Charles Addams, Amelié, Doctor Who, and Tim Burton, and I'm fiercely proud of it!

Time moves in layers - 2023

The shorter games with worse graphics made by less people discourse is starting again and the nuance lost in this conversation is: we absolutely CAN make big, hyper-realistic games, sustainably. The problem -- and the money drain -- is executive pay, leadership overreach, mismanagement, and whims.

Bath time? DUCK TIME.

Hi I love drawing characters #PortfolioDay

You get it 🙂‍↕️

Elden Ring fanart in the form of a monotone sketch. Two Crucible Knights flank a smaller tarnished knight. One has his hand wrapped around the Tarnished's throat, while the other holds them by the upper arms from behind. It's all extremely sexually charged despite nothing explicit happening at all.

About that double Crucible Knight fight...

Something I'm grappling with right now. Thank you for this 💜 it's better knowing I'm not grappling alone!

The Publishing Golden Ticket Chasing success in the wrong ways

There’s a sneaky feeling that we must conform to what’s *out there* instead of trusting what makes our art and stories come alive.

This is about that.

Reading this makes me feel like I'm losing my mind. Like seriously...what?

oh no, did they tease something with Al and someone else? 😔 I like to think I will continue to obsess, but sometimes a certain direction can really kill the vibe. I've been worried since the ep with Luci that V*v may introduce other chars JUST to break up charlastor chemistry bc it's so powerful

The "It Started With A Kiss" series is one of my all-timer favorites, and huang is just a master at their craft! I thought of it when I saw the standees too!

A digital drawing in a very angular, collage like style, featuring an autumnal branch on a dark background. The branch and the leaves are all warm autumnal colours, and there are a few acorns.

AUTUMN HYPE!!!
