Hi hi! I'm Eloise, a writer and illustrator specializing in animal characters and their communities.
Join me as I make the sort of illustrations I pored over as a kid, share books (and video games) I love, and attempt an assortment of crafty hobbies.

I can certainly think of some statues that would be better if they were a big, stylized boar instead.

Yes I mixed up day 11 and day 10, I’m so sorry you had to wait so long to see this squirrel requesting Uppies.

I feel strongly that the next 40 or so new emojis should all be birds.

Going into the daily practice of this with the same energy (flying through the air with a pretty scant plan) which is why I missed posting yesterday, but we’re back baby!

For the last two years I’ve lackadaisically participated in Peachtober with some tiny, rainbow-pencil drawings.

This year I’m less prepared than ever and already behind, but I can’t resist this pun. Let’s go!

The Golden Boy’s Guide to Bipolar by @sonorareyes.bsky.social

September is for (highly anticipated, incredible) sequels!

I was so excited for the follow-up to Lesbiana’s Guide to Catholic School but this book exceeded my expectations. Surprising, authentic, brutal, tender, warm.

Next edition (number 11! I’ve been doing this for almost three years!) goes out on Wednesday and is sort of about dentists and, of course, sort of about books.

Also when you sign up you can download some cute digital wallpapers, if you’d like.

Six colorful phone wallpapers: variety of witchy animals on lime background, red pandas in pink and in coral, rainbow bookshelves on lilac background and on dark purple background, and line drawings of animals on light teal background.

I mean that would explain it!

And it would explain why I like drawing noodley dogs like borzoi who are arguably all bones.
