Had so much fun making art for this! And designing some little frog-type space explorers 🐸

Nice! I got the deck that night too - 9 of coins is one of my favourites in it, I've had it on my desk all week

Here are all the books I read in 2024, in illustrated form! I kept an ongoing canvas throughout the year, and added an element for each book once I finished it. Illustration size doesn't correspond to how much I liked the book, except for Piranesi, which is a part of my soul now.

Hi hello! I’m Caitlin, an illustrator with a penchant for fantastical and mysterious things. My first and main love is watercolour, but I also work in gouache and digital. Besides illustration, I like to collect hobbies - current fixation is researching the Medieval Era and making chainmail ⚜️🏰✨
