living in the 2020’s

“When a ceasefire is announced, I will just run. No one ask me where. I myself don’t even know. I will just run, and run.

…the important thing is to arrive at a quiet place: a place that allows me to weep for a long time.”

Cut paper illustration in white on a blue ground. In the centre of the design is a treehouse in which sits a young woman playing a red guitar. Above her, a panel with the words, 'In Winter' and 'Katie Melua'; below her, an unfurled scroll with the words 'Featuring Gori Women's Choir.' Out of this central element, stylised, scrolling branches curve outward to either side, surrounding, on the left, a trio of bells, a pair of skates, and a cluster of presents; and on the right, a row of candles, an hourglass, and a cushion bearing a high-heeled shoe next to an elaborate hat on a hatstand. The overall effect is of snowflake-like delicacy.

Following on from the tour poster shared yesterday, my cover illustration for Katie Melua's 'In Winter' album itself, from 2016. The original artwork is a papercut, approximately 305 mm square. 1/3

Had to unfollow someone legit because they kept reposting AI grifters - like come on, I know you're a writer but you really can't tell?

Drawings have weight in them. Structure, logic. Every AI grift I've seen looks like it's bones floating around inside of a damn balloon.

A couple of clothed figure sketches/studies from the past few days based on the beautiful refs of Carissa Hughes (@carissamichae on Insta) by @trueref.bsky.social!

digital illustration of a girl crouching in the woods. the image is low saturation and dark, and the lines look rough and unfinished

had a weird dream that I spent a year working on art of a girl sitting in a forest for a commissioner. they wanted tons of edits, and when I finished it the art looked like it was done in crayon??

I tried to draw it when I woke up !! something about her eyes

A tiger with the face of an androgynous person. They are crowned in a southeast asian style headdress. They tower over smaller, more normal looking cats. Their backdrop consists of a night sky, with gold rimmed clouds, and vines that surround a simple crescent moon. On the frame there is a white cat with an apsara crown, and a calico cat with a hibiscus tucked behind its ears. On the sides of the frame there is a solar system motif.

WIP (work in progress) sketch of my original characters - OCs - uluwehi and sione in a light purple-ish grey background. sione is kissing uluwehi on the cheek and uluwehi is blushing, smiling. uluwehi has a light turquoise frangipani flower in her hair, a beaded necklace with island shells and nuts on it. she's wearing an elei crop top and arm warmers on with colors, yellow, black, and white. sione is wearing his golden, memento butterfly necklace and a turquoise shirt with pattern that aren't finished. he has small flowers on his pink hair. both uluwehi and sione are both indigenous people. specifically of a mix of pacific islander and afro descent.
