I used to be a children's book designer and now that I'm on the other side of the screen as an illustrator, I can't help but be veryyy particular about 1) always finishing background art behind the foreground 2) merging layers by subject 3) naming all layers and 4) strict file name conventions

Hourly Comics Day has MOVED! It's the 20th anniversary and we're taking a stand alongside our Black cartoonist members and friends to demand a change to honor Black History Month- draw your comics on the 8th, not the 1st! hourlycomicsday.com #hourlycomicsday #hourlycomicday #hcd

"IN OBSERVANCE & SOLIDARITY". Two black speech bubbles with white text read "HOURLY COMICS DAY IS NOW ON FEB 8TH. CARTOONISTS HONOR BLACK HISTORY MONTH. FEB 1 - MAR 1". There is an illustration of a black silhouetted hand raised and holding a pen in the top right, and an illustration of a nib pen and an ink well personified on the bottom right. The nib and ink are bumping fists. A URL at the bottom is "hourlycomicsday.com".

i love frankenstein (2025) so much #art

artwork of the creature from frankenstein (2025). the creature is the central figure, his body abstracted into the swathes of blues and greens, with a tinge of red, with details of furs of his coat and candles lit with red flames. his torso is carved out, exposing red flesh and a heart connected with veins that have some sprouting flowers, and the final scene of the creature embracing the morning sun. framing the creature are various body parts as well as the halves of victor and elizabeth's faces.

Me when I exit my tube to be in the void of space 🧑‍🚀 Alexei Leonov was a Russian cosmonaut who was the first person to do a spacewalk. Except from Big Moments in Space by Collins Big Cat (HarperCollins UK) published earlier this year!

An illustration of Alexei Leonov's spacewalk. A person in a white spacesuit with red details floats above their spaceship which is blue with bright white highlights. Around them floats a tether cable and the vastness of space is seen in the background

Talked to some undergrads recently and found myself very thankful and fortunate to have time to spend on hobbies now. When I’m not at my desk, here’s what I might be up to:

Dealing with gnats in my indoor plants made me think of my illustrations of beneficial predator insects for the zoo 🪲

sometimes the lineart is complex. and sometimes it’s just not!

photo of a project in procreate showing black lineart on a white background. the illustration on the screen shows two birds in the foreground, lots of foliage in the mid ground, and a person with binoculars looking up at the birds in the background. there is a panel cut off to the left showing the colors that might be used in the piece and the layers panel is open to the right showing the white background color layer selected.

in my defense, i think munkustrap the cat is rather debonair #hourlycomicsday #hourlycomicday 1/x

a comic for hourly comics day. the text is white on an ochre yellow background. the first panel shows a person with long hair sleeping in front of three windows with the text “fire trucks kept me awake last night. i’m usually up at 5am”. the second and third panels show hands looking up munkustrap the cat with the text “i watched cats with Rosie for the first time last night. My first waking thought was about Munkustrap the cat lol”
