Endelig kan jeg vise fram forsiden til Undermakeren, som illustratør @heddart.bsky.social har laget. Hun har klart å tegne karakterene mine, Hedvig, Mathias og Emil, akkurat slik jeg har sett dem for meg i min fantasi. #lesesky #skrivelivet #fantasy #barnebok #illustrasjon

The full wraparound illustration! If you're wondering if I painted all those mosaics by hand the answer is HELL YEAH (with many pauses to protect my fingers and wrist) You can back it HERE: www.kickstarter.com/projects/wra...

Wraparound over illustration for the Special Limited Edition of 'The Odyssey' by Homer painted by Eleonor Piteira for Wraithmarked Creative, showing a strong Odysseus with grey streaks in his hair and short dark beard, wearing golden armour and holding a spear and a shield, while standing in the sun before a mural made of mosaics featuring Athena standing over Ithaka and the sea while a few ships leave. An eagle holding a lightning bolt flies across the blue sky, and there are branches of olive trees on the foreground.

Happy Solstice ❄️

A snowy scene in which a humanoid figure in long black robes with the head of a rook stands in a churchyard holding a long spear. By its feet is a red fox. Both are flecked with fallen snow. Around them are many weathered snow-covered graves. In the background is a medieval church of warm coloured stone with large rectangular windows and a battlemented parapet topped with pinnacles. Behind the main body of the church is the tower with clock face and belfry. Behind the church are tall but bare trees dusted with snow. More snow falls in the air.

An illustration of a young women yanking a weed out of a bed of marigolds. The primary colours of the piece are deep green and a saffron yellow, with some brown and moss green tones as well. The camera is looking up at the young girl with a forced perspective, as she pulls out the weed while leaning back. The text reads: PULL FASCISM UP BY THE ROOT.

Honestly, the best way to make an artist’s day is by being very specific about what you like about a piece. Geek out a lil. Gush over how they use line, color, texture. Every mark is layed down by the artist, so if you can connect with those little moments, it helps the artist feel seen.
