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.

The digital illustration showing a woman in a dark dress holding a scythe. The cathedral and red sky are in the background

The digital illustration shows a woman with dark long hair, gathered in a messy bun, she is wearing a dark blue dress, in her left hand she is holding an axe. 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

Cover Illustration for Rocio Carranza's FLAME IN THE SILVER STORM (2025)
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

I co-lead art direction, did the interior layout, worked with one of my favorite artists @vvilczy.bsky.social, and designed the bookmark for the project!

Today is day 4 of Tolktober - and the theme is: wings.

If you don't know what's all that about yet, it's kinda like #inktober but better, because it's focusing on Tolkien.
