Esteemed audience, I give you *drumroll* Brickhead and The Fishies! Look, I'm aware these illustrations don't make much sense without the stories meant to accompany them. Unfortunately, the stories are part of a site specific project and don't really work in English. Whatever. Making sense is not always my chief concern when it comes to writing. People seem to enjoy these anyway. Looks like I'm peddling the good kind of weird 😉

This guy sells carpets *and* is in charge of making sure the night gets neatly tucked away every morning. Seems like not even sorcerers can get by without a little side hustle these days.

Further experimenting with vectors and textures. This is inspired by the first October story I wrote last year. Five re-writes later and I still haven't managed to land on a version I'm happy with. Welcome to my brain.

Tis the season for devilry or what? Three smol devils are about to make an appearance at Portrete de cartier's event this Sunday. If you live in Bucharest and want to learn what they're up to, see you there.

Happy October, everyone! I plan on doing something a little different for this month's Thing. I already have a bunch of October-themed, bite-sized stories from last fall lying around. The plan is for me to edit them, add some funky visuals, then share them with you at the end of the month. We'll see how that goes. I may be forced to readjust cause I've been staring creative burnout in the eye for some time now and the jackass ain't flinching. Long ramble over, here's a sneak peek at what I hope will end up being the illustration for 'Smoke and Bonfires', one of my favourite stories of the lot. #illustrationoftheday #artoftheday #digitalpainting #digitalart #photoshop #illustragram #illo #illustration_best #autumnillustration #autumnvibes #illustrationage #picame #visualsnack #freelanceillustrator #womenofillustration #illustration #illustrationartist #welcomeoctober #october #autumn #instaillustration #instaart  #illustratorsoninstagram https://www.instagram.com/p/B3FlyGRIP-s/?igshid=1t11zupz7y08y

The September Thing is finally here! *does spasmodic celebratory dance* Whoo, boy. It's a little on the short side cause it's been one helluva month but I'm proud of my bite-sized textbook of whimsical nonsense. As usual, you can find the full thing here and here.

Here's a first look at my upcoming September Thing. Yes, it's weird. Yes, the style's quite different from my usual aesthetic. No, it does not make much sense on its own yet. No, you're not getting any of the words yet. Just enjoy the pretty colours and angles, alright? Alright.

Surprise tarot! This is The Thing With Petticoats - glowup in progress. A Tarot of Things.

You are The Mushroom-Ridden Stump. A jagged splinter of your former self, timely turned to darker purpose by divine infection. Make nice with your decay. Embrace transcendence.

More tree stuff from my August thing 😊

You can expect one similarly unpretentious thing every month until I'm either sitting pretty on twelve things or done in by my wildly masochistic notions.

The Thing On Your Dresser. A Tarot Of Things.

Current status: updating The Thing In Your Cup. A (Neverending) Tarot of Things.
