Another book announcement! I can’t wait to welcome you all into my garden. @andrewsmcmeel.bsky.social

Thank you so much!

Hardback copy of Ornithography, An Illustrated Guide to Bird Lore and Symbolism, by Jessica Roux. Dark gray background with various beautifully drawn and colored birds around the title.

The entry for The Bluebird, with text describing its scientific name, meaning, and lore on one page, and a lovely color illustration of a bluebird perched on a golden crown on the facing page.

The mister got me this stunningly beautiful volume by @jessicasroux.bsky.social. Perfect for the coming cold weeks indoors, and great for when it warms up again enough to peruse over coffee on the #BirdPorch! An embarrassment of riches. ❤️🐦

I hope you love it! 💙💙💙

So excited to share that I am illustrating @fionnualacook.bsky.social ‘s MAGIC WORDS, published by @andrewsmcmeel.bsky.social 🌿

A grid of nine square images. At the center is a photo of the artist, Jessica Roux, smiling with glasses in a green dress and red hair in her garden. The other squares all show illustrations that were published in 2025, including several from Tarot of the Woodland Wardens and the book Jane Austen’s Garden.

It’s time for #artvsartist2025 ! The wild thing about working primarily in book publishing is that nearly all of these illustrations were done in 2023-24, but only came out this year. All the work I’ve done this year won’t be seen until next (and so on and so forth).

Photo of objects arranged on a wooden table, including: a print of an illustration of three orange mushrooms surrounded by leaves and candles on a dark gray background, a greeting card that says “thinking of you”, a postcard showing different mushroom types, and a postcard showing flowers, mushrooms, pinecones, and a bee on a dark background.

🚨💌📬My shop will close on December 14th, and all orders will be shipped by December 15th to (hopefully) arrive by Christmas! 🚨💌📬

We will reopen in early January. Thanks so much for the amazing support during the holiday season! It truly means so much to me.

FWIW, the person who commented this wasn’t aware that I did both illustrations because one was for a brand (although I was credited and retained the rights to it!). I do keep all the rights to my work so I can rip myself off whenever I want though!! ;)

I was accused of ripping off my own artwork, which is definitely a first
