Hi #kidlitartpostcard ! I’m working on a picture book about Medusa discovering her powers and learning to control them. This illustration probably won’t be in the book, but I still love it.

The cover for WE'RE HERE 2024. An illustration (in watercolor) of an earth-toned wild hunt tapestry with muted rainbow-y accents. The lead figure is a brown-skinned elf man with long hair and an antler like crown. He has top surgery scars and wears rainbow-fringed hose with thigh high boots. He rides a massive white elk. Other figures include a tan skinned falconer, a chubby darker skinned femme archer with a fro, a knight riding a unicorn with her girlfriend riding behind her, a faun with a pan flute, a shirtless bald person with fantastic eyebrows and long nails blowing a horn, and four fey looking hounds. There is also a rainbow pastel jackalope and three rainbow pastel ravens that seem to also be members of the hunting party.  The foreground is made up of Millefleur style depictions of pansies, green carnations, lavender and roses.

This Hope has a Sharp Edge, 2021

Hope blossoms in all of us, sometimes gently, sometimes boldly.

This piece is about the overlay of anxiety that has walked hand in hand with hope these last few years.

Painting of two hands folded upon each other, each raising a finger to create an impression of horns. Behind them a mysterious female figure without a face and in the shadow thrown by the hands two glowing red eyes.

I hear *someone* is having a sale next week.

I guess they have to try and recoup some of that $2.5 billion they’re forking over for *checks notes* being deceptive? Who would’ve thought?

Feels like Oct 7 & 8 will be prime days to support independent bookstores. 😌

A little close up of a Noggit from the eastern plains of Strangehollow. A voracious and very effective predator, despite its small size. They work in groups and can take down much larger prey. Learn more in my book here: buff.ly/MtZUyIc

How to Support Trans People in All 50 States A curated list of 100 organizations supporting trans rights and livelihood to which you can donate.

Trans people are under attack by an administration looking for scapegoats.

Besides this list of organizations, donate to individual trans folks asking for help and contact your reps to tell them you won't support anyone who doesn't support trans rights.
