Folks! I’m looking for an illustrator to do some in-game artwork for an unannounced project on a contract basis in November.

Feel free to shoot me a DM with your portfolio if you’re interested!

Must be based in the UK, and absolutely no AI 🌟

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!

Since many of us are cancelling streaming services, now might also be a good time to support writers and artists. Times are extremely tough for creatives, so why not buy a book, commission an art piece, sign up for a Patreon, tip your favorite creators. Everything helps.
