Some recent character design work. Alexis Rex and her friends! I'm really happy with the fusion between modern and classic dinosaur vibes. I wanted them to still feel iconically "dinosaur" but acknowledge all the leaps in our understanding of what a dinosaur actually IS.
That’s right! A new anthology of comics about women and their swords is kickstarting NOW! I’ve got a fun new gender-bendy fairy tale retelling waiting for you: The Broom and The Blade! If you’ve got feelings about Princess Knight or the Ranma remake, you’re going to like this one.
My faux-delftware Mew, from a while back!

Process shots from making my faux Delftware Mew! This kit is like, ten bucks, so it’s a great choice is you want to experiment.
I sprayed it white. The plastic and the paint reacted strangely and it got a rough, pebbly surface, but I actually like the effect.
Painted and assembled!
But with some pretty obvious seams…putty time!
The putty finish helped a lot
I started working in acrylic craft paint (please ignore the terrible little paint pots on the right, those are from a craft my kid was doing at the same table!)
It came along better than I thought it would!
A close-up, and then time to glaze!
Lil fancy I drying after a quick and sloppy glaze job.
The results! From a distance it actually looks convincingly like china. I think I’ll try more in future!

I have a new short story coming out soon, and this pretty much encapsulates it!

A recent commission for a cover illustration to Josephine-Taylor’s web serial, The Monster and The Butterfly. This was an absolute dream to draw — Gothic castle? Determined heroine? Cheekbones for days?? BATB vibes??? It couldn’t have been more My Kind of Thing. The lovely @rosesnwater was the client, who you should definitely check out ✨
I’m very happy to announce that I’ve received a grant from the Canada Council for the Arts to help with work on my upcoming book! I’ll be using these funds to pay for expert readers, research materials, art supplies and of course MORE BALLET
So, uh, to all the dancers who I know are gonna hate this book, plz remember I did pump government funds into the industry ❤️
I have a new collage 'zine for Small Press Expo!
