pink camellias: a short comic about longing
made this for my partner’s birthday! we can’t be together due to distance and covid, but i’m hoping for easier times soon
This is a little fan art of Cat Sebastian’s Two Rogues Make a Right. There was a lot about this book that got me in the feels, and even though I kept wanting to shake the characters and scream, “You can’t treat TUBERCULOSIS with peppermint oil,” people actually did try to, so points to the author for period accuracy. Also, I just couldn’t believe that Will and Martin could start a pig farm without at least some piglets ending up as pets, so I snuck one in.
One of the few collaborative projects I’ll agree to do, is one where somebody under the age of 12 is in charge.
Braden designed, what I saw as, a mash up of a dinosaur and an AT-AT Walker, for this year’s Monster Project.
I’m eternally convinced that the kids’ drawings are better than the “professionals”, and so I hope Braden isn’t too mad at me for this rendition.
The anatomy is as close to the original as I could make it, and I made the background snowy to keep it similar to the white page, but also to show how massive I thought this monster could be.
Because seasons don’t count on the internet!
Here’s a full page, some spot illustrations and backgrounds, and the final layout plan I did for Popshot Magazine, last winter.
Advent, by @ariannareiche, is the story of a young child’s daunting experience participating in a traditional Joseph Steiner school pagan ritual. Candles set in apples are placed one by one in a spiral, until the room is slowly lit up by the flames. The story explains the event better…

Resting Place.
For a while I’ve been looking at my framed Death’s Head Hawkmoth and thinking about the skull marking and body as a tiny human sarcophagus.
It’s super hard to see detail online, but big prints and vinyl stickers are available here.

I never actually shared the new ones from my ongoing series of skulls, so here’s the current gang. I redrew the cat skull, because I prefer to keep more of a side profile (consistency that would highlight the similarities and differences).
They’re available as a 6-pack of postcards in my shop, and there’s a die-cut vinyl sticker of the wolf skull coming very soon.

The 50th anniversary of the Apollo 11 moon landing is coming up, and I can’t stop thinking about it.

A Compsognathus fossil, once thought to be discovered carrying an embryo, was later found to be housing the skeleton of a Bavarisaurus lizard that had been swallowed whole.
A while ago I drew a lot of rocks for a magazine feature, and as a wind down from that, I drew some more. The perspective was purposefully not just ‘straight on’, and bloody challenging as a result (you don’t need to know how many drawings were scrapped before I was happy with the poses).
Prints available here.

Cassini Logic*, 2018.
Another space-based illustration, in response to the Cassini–Huygens mission’s beautiful final act in 2017.
Available as a print, and a vinyl sticker here.
*The title is because of the song ‘Houdini Logic’ by Circle Takes The Square. At first it was probably just because the words sound similar, but the more I thought about it, the more I saw parallels between the mission and the brilliant / awful song that I loved so much as a teenager.

I forgot to share this! I did a cover for Popshot Magazine last year :)
Prints of the illustration are available online now!

I had the pleasure of illustrating ‘The Escaped Jaguar’, by Phillip Mitchell, in the latest issue of Popshot Magazine. It features a zoo, a mystery, an absolute creep, and couldn’t be more suited to me as a piece of writing.
Millhouse, my new guard dog, says it’s a real page-turner.
