Omg it’s finally here! It was a career highlight to be able to spend my time making something like this! It came at a point when I was feeling very burnt out and it this was a project that breathed life into me again. I am so grateful to Cartoon Network for this opportunity youtu.be/IarVMeWtFVU?...

Woooah what’s this – the cover for book 2 in the Moon Realm series?! Out in March 2027, you say, and available to pre order now?? 😀 Absolutely in love with this second cover illustration from @cafween.bsky.social When I first saw it I jumped out of my chair yelling❤️

The book cover illustration for the second in the Moon Realm series, The Lost Clan. Shows moths flying against the wind towards stone towers while dark clouds crowd the sky, which is cast in deep rusty oranges, as if a storm is brewing

i’ve been thinking of what could even be said about such a tragedy. someone said it best that trans people are “born so late and die so young”. we uproot our lives and transition and live more life than anyone else ever does and society punishes us for it. we deserve better

sucks that they're remaking Harry Potter again when Tamora Pierce, Ursula LeGuin, and Garth Nix exist. A Sabriel/Lirael series would go so hard if it was given the HBO treatment

when I was a baby, I was at a hotel pool in New Orleans with my mom and sister that was being used as a film set. The director started smoking a cigarette and mom yelled at him to not smoke near her young kids. That director was Bill Condon, director of Candyman and the last 2 Twilight movies lmao

I think if you care about the environmental impacts of AI, you should also care about this. The over-reliance on dairy and beef is especially a problem.
