Well, the rabbit's out of the PM bag! I have a lot of thoughts on what it means at last to be fulfilling the dream I've nurtured since I was 7 years old, but for right now I'm afraid all I have for you is the mental image of me flapping in a circle while I shout, I'M GOING TO BE A PUBLISHED AUTHOR!!

Publishers Marketplace Deal Report for THE BONE BRIDES, by Marley Rose-Teter. Imprint: Page Street. Marley Rose-Teter's THE BONE BRIDES, pitched as Howl's Moving Castle by way of Guillermo del Toro, in which a girl must save her changeling girlfriend from a terrifying faerie realm before they both end up trapped in skins not their own, to Lauren Knowles at Page Street, for publication in fall 2026, by Hannah Andrade at Bradford Literary Agency (world English).

The PM announcement is decorated with a border image showing a moody autumnal forest and some cute skeleton bunnies.

I keep deciding this one isn't done yet. I started filling in the word sections all with a light blue so the words stand out more.

Stained glass style embroidery of a spider web with an eye in the center, and at the bottom in web segments, the words You Will Not Break Me.

Watching people being brutalized by the state, secure in the knowledge that I'm safe because I don't do anything wrong. And the best part? The state can't suddenly and arbitrarily redefine what "wrong" means

"Sapiens" is so normal for the first 70,000 years of human history but then goes absolutely buckwild as soon as it gets to colonialism

Had the Aztecs and Incas shown a bit more interest in the world surrounding them - and had they known what the Spaniards had done to their neighbours - they might have resisted the Spanish conquest more keenly and successfully.

The Regime's goal is to grind everyone down. Plain & simple. Our goal is to refuse this by taking turns to fight where and how we can. When one group needs to bow out, then another group needs to step in and so on. We don't all have to do everything. We can all do something though. Stay in the fight

I'm late for #portfolioday

Illustrator from Portugal, doing covers for books, videogames, ttrpgs and records.

Mostly looking to grow here, but open to working from spring onwards, favoring generous deadlines because of my part time teaching 🥲

Cover illustration for a super metroid music album. Samus in the save room while a bunch of alien bugs lurk outside.

Cover for the Gunbrella (videogame) OST album. Collages illustration of a dark victorian city. 2 policemen patrol the streets, where a skull faced cultist walks towards them, and the game's protagonist floats over and explosion holding on to his umbrella.

Album cover in green tones. Illustration of a woman whose lines meld with lines of a circuitry board. The configuration of these lines suggests an art deco style with stereotipically Egyptian themes.

Behind the woman is a stone staircase, which she is climbing. In the upper right corner are large windows, behind the woman's head is a large portrait of a couple, in the upper left corner are stairs leading up

The illustration depicts a young woman with wavy hair, wearing a red dress, holding a flame in her hands. Blackthorns are twined around the woman. The background behind the woman is a seascape during a storm, with a ship in the background, followed by eerie hands.

The digital illustration shows a woman in a wedding dress, her mouth and neck covered in blood

Given the shutdown (and not having a paycheck coming in), I've been considering slapping together a small collection and self-publishing it on itch

Unsure if it's wise, but would there be interest in this?
