Today's Krita experimentation didn't work the way I wanted it to, so I pivoted and made this little ghosts in the graveyard scene instead and it's so cute 😭 the little black cat cuddling with the ghost cat? the two little ghosts on a date?? the shy ghost behind the headstone?? I love them.

an orange night scene in a graveyard with a giant crescent moon, a scraggly, bare tree, some hidden ghosts, and a black cat cuddling with a ghost cat under the tree in a simple illustration

a close up on two of the secret ghosts holding hands

I cranked this out 1 in like 3 hours and I think it's my magnum opus. The hidden little ghosties and frogs were partly inspired by Spooky Lakes month posts/book illustrations!

my coworker and I were talking about how we're sick of AI being pushed so hard on us at work (WE WORK IN CANCER RESEARCH WITH MEDICAL RECORDS I WILL NOT TOUCH IT) and how we just want to disappear into the woods and be consumed by the moss. I had a vision and in a fit of creative passion...

Readers: Please don't be embarrassed to reach out to an author if you like their work (and review it too!) These types of things may seem small but they can make an ENORMOUS difference, especially if the author isn't a major bestseller/breakout

My WIP: To find untraceable assassins, all you need is a dogsitter. HAWKEYE x THE HUNGER GAMES x WANDERSTOP 🌈Building a QPR (aroace + biromantic ace) 🌳a solarpunk lifestyle 🏛️Panem x 1984 government 🐶a cute Icelandic sheepdog 😤"I'm not helping you. Here's the answer, but I'm *not* helping you."

A moodboard of my WIP. In the middle is an image of Kate Bishop and Yelena Belova within the famous elevator scene. Kate has biromantic and asexual flower by her, and Yelena has an aroace feather by her. On the left going down is: Katniss Everdeen bowing, a screenshot of Wanderstop that says "Fought like my life depended on it. I did the time," and a picture that says "Big Brother is watching you," but it's crossed out to say "Nemesi is watching you." On the right going down is a solarpunk sketch of what a shopping strip would look like, a black-and-white photo from Wanderstop where Alta has wide eyes, and her picture is cracked like glass, and Kate Bishop and Clint Barton slouching on a subway.

📣Calling All Trans Books!📣 I have one more FLL book scheduled for this year—ace + disability rep!—but for the rest of the year (and into the next one), in honor (/sarcasm) of a certain remake coming out this December, the rest of the books will be trans rep (especially by trans writers). 🌈📚 /🧵

Against a starry sky, it says "Let me know your favorite trans books! (Bonus points if it's an indie book.)" The words "trans books" are in the trans colors, and all the other words are in white. Three dragons (one in each trans color (though the white one looks more gray because it could not get lighter than that)) are also flying around.

(And add Sophie’s Guide to Werewolves and Pancakes on Goodreads because the stars LITERALLY ALIGNED for this moment!!! this is like Christmas to me!)

A purple night sky with pancakes in the moon phases at the top and trees at the bottom in the middle is a mock cover for Sophie’s Guide to Werewolves and Pancakes with the arrows with tropes pointing at the book. The text reads

Chronically ill werewolf
Cozy, spooky hilgrious
Shenanigans
Pancakes
werewolves.
ride or die friendship
coming August 2027 on the full moon

"After the disastrous premiere of his First Symphony in 1897, Sergei Rachmaninoff stopped composing." See part three of my interview on The Mess That Made Them at ROROTOKO today.

👀Still putting queer/disabled books in free little libraries. 🧠♿️📚 This time, I did A Little Less Invisible by Maisie M. Meyers! I kept seeing this book mentioned on my timeline over and over and over, so I knew I had to pick it up. I've heard so many great things about the disability rep!

Revisited this the last couple days because I had a few ideas and learned a few new things! Still not satisfied with Sophie, but I think I need to accept humans are still just a little outside my skill level 😂 but really happy with this new update!

A werewolf sits under a full moon in the grass with her best friend leaning against her, reading a book. the art's a little clunky, but we're figuring it out!

i just did a big rec post with some other 2026 debuts on instagram! www.instagram.com/p/DdovMeJIEf... My book, Child of the Dragon has a bi character in the main cast too! I also really liked Havenfall, The Phoenix Keeper, the Vows and Valor books, Between Sun and Shadow, and so many more!

This YA fantasy is such a great representation of chronic illness. Maisie put so much of her heart into this book and it really shows. I love the humor and magic that we see all wrapped up in an accurate portrayal of having to deal with ableism. #AuthorAppreciation #IndieAuthor #BookRec

also sophie and lizzie look like 2 different art styles but can AI do THIS?!? 😤😤😤😤😤 Anyway! We’re still learning! And I’m sharing the trial and error because in a world of AI slop, I am proud of human effort and human error!
