Hello #PortfolioDay 👻
I'm Jana, illustrator of everything hauntingly beautiful--nowadays mostly books, though.
Happy to take on one more project this year 📚

Cover illustration for May The Dead Keep You by Jill Baguchinsky (portrait of a red haired girl with a half decayed woodpecker covering half of her face. I swear it looks really cool.)

Spooky illustration for a short story featuring a house that is also the body of a ghost boy. The boy is trapped and reaches out to his crying mother outside.

Cover illustration for Don't Let The Forest In by CG Drews. Portrait of a blond boy with slashes obscuring his face. Through the openings thorny vines and roses grow.

A serene, pale face surrounded by lots of worms and insects.

Listen up, peasants, you have to get ready for the exciting new technology that will paste dead celebrities into 6-second clips loosely approximating famous TV shows, this time we really mean it

Would it surprise you that the owner of Scientific American's parent company, Stefan von Holtzbrinck, invested $37 million in Inkitt, an AI firm?

TVA des auto-entrepreneurs : la réforme controversée des seuils de franchise maintenue dans le budget 2026

Votée en catimini lors du budget 2025, la réforme sur la TVA des auto-entrepreneurs est de retour dans le projet de loi de finances 2026. La mesure, édulcorée par rapport à sa version précédente, n’en préoccupe pas moins les principaux concernés.

Spooky bird stories. Last year's Halloween comic.

A comic titled Spooky Bird Stories. In panel 1, a turkey vulture is telling stories to other vultures, and it says, "She walked toward the source of the terrible smell. She got closer and closer, and then, to her horror, she saw... No dead body." A black vulture says "No!" and a turkey vulture says "Did someone already eat it??"
In panel 2, a northern cardinal is telling a story to some songbirds. It says "They peered through the windows of the house at the gory scene. Zombies had smashed through the door in the night. The homeowner was dead. But worst of all... He hadn't refilled the feeders." An eastern bluebird says "Aaah!" and an American goldfinch says "It can't be!".
In panel 3, a screech owl is telling a story to other owls. It says "And then the ghost fluffed itself up really big to appear scarier." A saw-whet owl gasps, and a long-eared owl says "Horrifying!".
In panel 4, a downy woodpecker is telling a story to other woodpeckers, and says "The eerie sound rang through the dark woods. Tap-tap. Tap-tap. It was the distinctive two-part knock of the Ivory-billed Woodpecker. The species had returned from the dead... FOR REVENGE." A red-cockaded woodpecker says "Yesss".

Hi #Portfolioday
I'm a comic's artist, here's some panels from "Le Secret de Présentine Ramondore"

Plan frontal sur une affiche au mur indiquant "Grande Fête annuelle du Solstice d'Automne". Le lettrage est ouvragé et à tendance gothique, les lettres sont bleues tandis que des points rouge ponctuent les lettres et les décorations. Au premier, des personnages de dos lisent l'affiche placardée sur un mur en bois.

Cadrage sur 4 cases d'une bande dessinée, où deux personnages marchent sous le soleil fort dans unes montages. Le temps n'a pas l'air pour autant très chaud. les montages et le ciel sont bleus tandis que les deux personnages, un homme et une femme d'un âge certain, équipé d'une matériel prémoderne sont déclinés dans des teintes d'ocre.

Une femme d'âge mûr, de dos, enlace de manière volontaire une homme de son âge qui a l'air davantage emprunté. Le fond est d'un jaune lumineux animé de quelques frondaisons. Les deux personnages baignent dans cette lumière jaune coupé d'une teinte grise.

Les deux mêmes personnages marchent dans les montagnes, de face. Les personnages et le sol sont dans l'ombre. Celui-ci est composé de grosses roches impraticables. Derrière eux, un flanc de montagne frappé de lumière.

We really need to teach the Paradox of Intolerance from an early age onwards

Tumblr Post by thoughtportal:
The Paradox of Tolerance disappears if you look at tolerance not as a moral standard, but as a social contract,
If someone does not abide by the terms of the contract, then they are not covered by it.
In other words: The intolerant are not following the rules of the social contract of mutual tolerance.
Since they have broken the terms of the contract, they are no longer covered by the contract, and their intoerlance should NOT be tolerated.
Tumblr response by commasameleon:
Sprry as someone who teaches rhetoric, this is a wonderful response to the Paradox of Tolerance. I cannot tell you how many times my students have had debates about this. This is the response. This does indeed fix it. I cannot wait to tell this to my classes now.
Philosophically and rhetorically this completely resolves the Paradox of Tolerance and I am floored by its simplicity and angry I never saw it before

Needletail sketchbook pages. I made the decision to draw up afterwards as I just wanted to watch the bird. I also struggled to climb the castle paths😞 #UKbirding #birds #birding #birdart #sciart #art

Sketches of a White throated Needletail, a species of large swift. They are in graphite and watercolour. The swift is large bodied with scythe shaped wings and a small stubby square tail. The body is brown with a pale throat, large white horseshoe shape under the tail area. The upper parts have a white patch on the back. The wings are black with areas of blue green iridescence. The bird even looks fast!

Please remember that the disgust people have over Christopher Columbus is not based on some modern, 21st century “woke” ideology, but rather on contemporaneous accounts of atrocities that make many modern genocides appear quaint in comparison.

Below, are the accounts of Bartlomé de las Casas.

But too many of the slaves died in captivity. And so Columbus, desperate to pay back dividends to those who had in-vested, had to make good his promise to fill the ships with gold. In the province of Cicao on Haiti, where he and his men imagined huge gold fields to exist, they ordered all persons fourteen years or older to collect a certain quantity of gold every three months. When they brought it, they were given copper tokens to hang around their necks. Indians found without a copper token had their hands cut off and bled to death.
The Indians had been given an impossible task. The only gold around was bits of dust garnered from the streams. So they fled, were hunted down with dogs, and were killed.

After each six or eight months' work in the mines, which was the time required of each crew to dig enough gold for melting, up to a third of the men died.
While the men were sent many miles away to the mines, the wives remained to work the soil, forced into the excruciating job of digging and making thousands of hills for cassava plants.
Thus husbands and wives were together only once every eight or ten months and when they met they were so exhausted and depressed on both sides... they ceased to pro-create. As for the newly born, they died early because their mothers, overworked and fam-ished, had no milk to nurse them, and for this reason, while I was in Cuba, 7000 children died in three months. Some mothers even drowned their babies from sheer desper-ation.... In this way, husbands died in the mines, wives died at work, and children died from lack of milk ... and in a short time this land which was so great, so powerful and fer-tile... was depopulated... My eyes have seen these acts so foreign to human nature, and now I tremble as I write....
