I'm excited to share the new map I illustrated for Alex Perez's novel BRIDE TO THE FOX DEMON! I had a lot of fun with this one, its Japanese-inspired architecture, forests mixed with trees and mushrooms. πŸ“šπŸ’™

D2D makes up an extremely small percentage of my sales so although I am a huge supporter of making book accessible... Yeah fam, idk. I get needing to keep the lights on but I'm already not making a profit off my books as it stands lol.
