#romania
În căutarea liniștii,
am avut nevoie de implant de stele,
căci pe cerul meu, norii erau doar o perdea.
ascundea în spatele ei doar câteva gânduri adunate de prin nopți
ce-au fost obstacole mult prea dificile
pentru zilele în care am avut
zâmbete de ceară.
”Cum să te iau, durere, să nu dori?”

5 Reasons Why You Should Visit Romania
Most people think of Romania as a place where Dracula and vampires live… and that’s it! But this lesser-known travel destination in Eastern Europe actually has a lot more to offer. And with few tourist numbers and great value for money, it’s a great place to enjoy a holiday off-the-beaten path!

In the latest Kickstarter update, author @ThunderEternal & I discuss costume design for the characters in our queer, all-ages fairytale book! Romanian folkwear, historical context, togas, flower crowns- we touch on a little bit of everything in this one!

Any backers, at any level have our sincere gratitude- as do folks sharing and recommending our book to their friends!
Our next stretch goal is within sight- we’d love to reach it so we can offer a hardcover version of our queer, nonbinary, aromantic fairy tales!
Bonus: Every pledge adds more art to the book!
(Rewards start at $1 ;D)

I wrote up the latest Kickstarter update, sharing my illustration process!
We’ve reached the first funding goal for Alia Terra, our book of queer fairytales written by @avakellyfiction. Thank you to all who have contributed so far!!
We have 27 days to go, and with plenty of stretch goals (upgrades like a hardcover option and any funding beyond that minimum goal goes towards adding illustrations!) the campaign is far from over, but it’s amazing to have this milestone under our belt!
We hit our first stretch goal over the long weekend! Now, all print copies will include a custom-designed, hand-signed card from the author Ava Kelly and myself! These cards can be kept away, framed or displayed, or glued into your book as a bookplate!
The next stretch goal (at $7500 ) lets us add a hardcover option!

It’s launch day!
Alia Terra: Stories from the Dragon Realm is a book of three all-ages queer fairy tales highlighting nonbinary characters, aromanticism, and personal acceptance, written by Romanian author Ava Kelly (avakellyfiction), edited by E.D.E. BellofAtthis Arts and illustrated by me!
If you’re unfamiliar with Kickstarter, this particular campaign will allow you to pre-order this book, get some extra goodies if you want, *and* each pre-order will help boost the number of illustrations in the book! Spread the word! If you know someone you think might be interested, every share and recommendation makes a huge difference.
