📷 A book cover design for an imaginary book about fires in National Parks. I had a lot of fun working out the design for this one, knowing what I wanted generally to convey but having to play a lot with composition and shapes before getting... tmblr.co/ZEt27wZm1ipSau00

📷 Wheeeelp, guys, I’m back after an absolutely exhausting week. Thankfully Texas is on it’s way to recovering all power, heat, and water and weirdly it was 70 degrees and sunny here in Austin yesterday. There’s still a lot to fix but we’re... tmblr.co/ZEt27wZlNsD70i00

📷 Most of y’all are probably already aware, since I think most of y’all are Texans, but in case you haven’t heard— we are having some freaky winter weather over here for the last week or so! This is a shot from my studio desk, looking at... tmblr.co/ZEt27wZjCf1H4a00

📷 Another illustration from one of my favorite projects in 2020! This one is for just County Parks in general, rather than a specific one. I had a lot of fun painting the grass texture. . . . . . . . . #illustrationforkids #childrenbookart... tmblr.co/ZEt27wZfKbtvii00

I don't use twitter much, but was told by folks on instagram and tumblr to share this here, just in case @nkjemisin might see it-- I did some fanfic cover redesigns for the Broken Earth series, which were so incredible and some of the best world-building of all-time!

📷 A mock-up for the final book in one of my all-time favorite series, The Broken Earth by N.K. Jemisin. I just opened my Tumblr for the first time in ages to find a zillion notifications about these covers I illustrated. It was exciting to... tmblr.co/ZEt27wZedbah8q00

📷 I was blown away by @amandascgorman on Inauguration Day, and then I saw that @penguinrandomhouse is releasing a book of her poems later this year. When I clicked the link, it seemed that there wasn’t a cover yet, and feeling inspired, I... tmblr.co/ZEt27wZbSelOiy00
