In a completely unexpected & surreal turn of events, I was asked to illustrate a thank you gift for My Chemical Romance's Seattle performance! It feels completely unreal to have had the opportunity to make something a band I love got to receive! 🥹 #mychemicalromance #mcr

Black and white digital illustration of My Chemical Romance performing, done in the style of vintage comic book covers. Circular panels highlight each member of the band along the left side of the page, while the central illustration shows them performing against the backdrop of T-Mobile Park.

My illustration for @novamali.bsky.social's And They Were Monsters 2024 art book 🪱

Illustration of a trans man with long curly hair sitting on his knees in a cozy, candlelit bedroom. He is wearing lingerie and a dark silk robe, which he opens to reveal a hole in his chest from which a large parasitic worm emerges. He gently holds the worm and the two almost kiss. Behind him on the wall are oval portraits of the two of them.

Line art for a page from my webcomic, Every Time I Die, I Wake Up Here.

Line art of a gothic horror comic page. A mixed Black trans man in Victorian era clothing turns slightly in his chair, holding a pair of scissors that cut an empty dialogue bubble. Behind him, a Black and Asian man leans tentatively against a door frame.

birthday gift art of the noble hagfish for my lovely boyfriend @chewytoothmeats ! as he absolutely adores them❣️ :)

A digital drawing of a densely coiled ball of 5 yellow-green hagfish, heads twisting in different angles, some presenting their everted jaws full of sharp little teeth.
The background is black, with bold red seaweed framing the sides of the illustration. A red star sits over the middle off the hagfish, illuminating the backdrop in a red glow.

Bodies of Possibility 🏳️‍⚧️ 2023

Painting of a mixed Black trans man from the 19th century facing forward on a chaise, sitting powerfully. He is dressed in dark pants with suspenders and a light shirt that's partially open, revealing his naked chest in a moment of trans power and joy. "He/him" is written in large gothic font at the top, and "bodies of possibility" is written in small print at the bottom.

For the goths and ghouls 🥀 An old one of the Addams Family from #Blacktober 2020 I remember people enjoyed. :~)

Illustration of the Addams family as Black. A dark-skinned Morticia stands next to Gomez, who has warm brown skin and short curly hair. Wednesday stands in front of them, her hair in four thick braids. She is holding a headless doll. Pugsley stands beside her and smiles, his hands behind his back.

Illustration of Lurch from the Addams family as Black. He poses proudly and holds a black rose in between his teeth.

Illustration of Cousin Itt from the Addams family as Black. He is wearing sharp, angular yellow sunglasses and a dark green hat. The hair that covers his face and body is dark blue and wavy. He seemingly rests his head on his hand, which has emerged beneath his long hair. His long acrylic nails are painted black.

Hello 👋🏽 I'm Jonathan Ya'el, a queer writer + illustrator exploring monstrosity and memory through speculative fiction. Currently working on a myriad of horror comic projects.

Illustration of a pale woman wading into a dark lake at night, her white hair falling around her. Her head is bent at a disconcerting angle. She smiles eerily and cups water in her hands, offering it to us.

Painting of a sinister figure suspended upside down. An emperor moth is laid over their face, the eyespots of its wings covering their eyes. Multiple mouths smile across their neck. They are wearing a dark dress and their hair radiates behind them.

Comic page from my webcomic, Every Time I Die, I Wake Up Here. Vincent, a Black trans man from the 19th century, encounters a shadowy apparition of himself in the night, its body crawling with maggots. Narrative text reads, "Like I've lost something precious and no amount of grief will bring it back. As blood circles the drain and maggots take to flesh, it waits for me from across the room. Rotting."

Black and white illustration of figure with long dark hair. Maggots and centipedes crawl over and out from their face.
