ALSO! The Between world escaped the manuscript!

Between the Sand and the Sea concept art & illustrations will be up at the Bangkok Art and Culture Centre (Oct 14–23). Somehow they let little mouse me into the national gallery 😳

Aaaaaaaa what do you mean you're not good at backgrounds??? The cities you drew in your manga are phenomenal!!! 😤💕 (plus how you draw anthropomorphic characters so well adds onto your artist expertise!)

Live-drawing outside is good practice (if there's any useful advice I can give!)

I find myself already so deep in the academia and designing side of architecture that I wanted to convey space through written words too!
