Gracias Nikolas! I appreciate the offer we actually already have the Spanish rulebook in the works! As for a full Spanish edition, that will unfortunately have to be its own Kickstarter to fund, but we DEFINITELY want it and has been asked about a lot. Hopefully soon.

Oh it's #portfolioday ! I'm Lauren, I love to paint moments of turmoil and transcendence. I'm pretty busy these days creating a new body of work for a grant project, but I can squeeze in a couple of illustrations this year. Get in touch: rayedraws.com/contact/

A femme bodied person, illuminated by blue, pink, and gold light, wears steel plate armor and stands facing front, eyes gently closed and head slightly turned into their own hand, which is caressing their face. They have medium brown skin and black hair, and entwined in the fingers of their hands are devotional beads. Around their head is a circular halo, upon which is written “I am the angel and there is no other.” Within the halo there are many lush flowers, and these flowers surround and caress the head of Joan. There is prismatic light suffusing the scene with a background of subtle indigo, and small, graceful, glowing motes of dust, or stars, or glittering orbs of violet and golden and chartreuse light, surrounding the figure.

A femme figure appears in the foreground as if lit from below by firelight; she stands in front of a solitary mountain, its single peak backlit by the setting sun, or the first rays of dawn - in this liminal space, it is hard to tell. The figure has cropped dark hair, a pale olive complexion, and she raises her right hand, palm open, which has a bright red-pink blistering burn wound. Her left hand gently grasps her right wrist, and her left pointer finger rests in the center of her right palm. She wears a classical white robe, her shoulders bare. On either side of her, serpentine chains dance on their own accord. The terminal link of each chain has been broken. On the mountain, in the distance, eight iridescent lights scale up the peak. Stars dimly twinkle in the liminal sky above.

A female presenting figure in the foreground, ambiguously young, with an olive complexion, orange-red lips, flushed cheeks bordering on burning, dark hair in braids, dark brown eyes, and a slender build, wearing a black satin fantastical confection of a dress, like a nun turned into a gothic cupcake. In the background a giant thunderhead looms heavy and foreboding in the turquoise-blue sky, itself bright and unnaturally orange. Flanking the woman in the background are two live oaks barren of leaves, and the ground is green but singeing a yellow-brown from the extreme weather. The woman clutches an armadillo, like a precious relic, or as Mary to a baby Jesus; her face is ambivalent, tense, afraid, sad. She is crowned with the blown out wildflowers native to Texas.

An ironic metaphor in that AI is designed to be nothing BUT a hall of mirrors, endlessly reflecting and regurgitating back on itself, warping reality. Just yourself in a bubble endlessly laughing at your own reflection, all humanity and companionship an illusion.

Recently delivered a new body of work at John Wayne Airport in Orange County, CA. If you’re in the area, it’s on view in the terminal A+B baggage area (lower level), no ticket required $4 parking. 30% of sales will go to Wetlands and Wildlife Care Center, a local wildlife rehab center.

Redoing the cover art for my graphic novel Polloman coming 2026, so thought I'd share the current cover. I finally got the book back from my amazing editors at Harper Alley and all that's left is a few cuts and edits to begin inking this 280 paged beast!
