i feel like i haven't posted about this properly on here. so here it is!

The Victors is a project into which i've put a huge amount of love and effort over the past year. it's a coming-of-age fantasy story written by Wren James, with ~220 fully illustrated pages of my work. it's funny and warm and i did my best to show off the characters and the world.

it'll be out in may. i hope you read it, and if you do, i hope you love it.

Hockney's sun-drenched paintings regularly featured positive aspects of queer life during an era when the lgbtq+ community was encouraged to dwell in the shadows by an intolerant and unaccepting status-quo. The 1972 painting featured in this post entitled Portrait of an Artist (Pool with Two Figures) sold during a 2018 Christie's auction of Hockney's works for $90.3 million in November 2018, establishing the painting as the most valuable work of art created by a living artist at the time.
