#almost real

Something ✨🌿speculative 🌿✨ is coming this summer …

Hey pst! Almost Real: A Speculative Biology Zine returns this month with a new issue! AND a big juicy "encyclopedia" that compiles the first 5 magazine volumes, featuring new entries for the cover critters from yours truly! If you love imaginative creatures with a backbone of real science, Almost Real is for you!

A sneak preview of my entry for the upcoming Volume 6 of Almost Real, a speculative biology zine! This edition of the zine will be based on pop culture! I’m incredibly proud to be a part of this project and cannot wait to show this off.

Follow the Kickstarter page to be notified on the campaign’s launch in June!

My two spreads for Almost Real Volume 5: MYTHOLOGY! You KNOW I had to do an entry for sphinxes!

This is a combination of the work I've done for Skin Deep sphinxes as well as its own thing set in a world where mythical creatures are known but still largely a mystery to science. I leaned hard into the Zoobooks aesthetic for this, one of my favorite parts of those magazines were the anatomy drawings so I wanted to do one just like it!

You’re what I see in front of my eyes,

but you’re not real—

out of reach,

not always there.

You make me feel,

but I can’t touch you.

You make me choke

without using your hands.

A tease

running through my head.

Meaningful words on paper

write stories in my brain.

Art that bleeds

and leaves a stain.

You’re on repeat

like a heartbeat.

Without the ectoplasmic draught, Melinoë and Icarus thought they couldn’t feel each other. But it turns out there’s an exception.
