I always forget about it, but I do actually have an INPRNT store. There's not a LOT on there but since I've had to close down my own shop a while ago and maybe you've wanted a print from me - you can get one there!

One of the early drawings I did of Peanut, Rosie, Mira and their parents - the characters from my graphic novel My Sister the Werebeast. This was long before it had any possibility of becoming a book. I love this silly little family. ☺️
An illustration of a cartoony family - characters from My Sister the Werebeast by Alina Tysoe. There are two parents - mom is looking through a telescope, the dad is holding a briefcase (he also has blue hair and sharp teeth), there are two teen daughters Mira and Rosie. Mira is holding a book and Rosie has a paintbrush tucked behind her ear. At the centre is the baby sister Peanut who has one sharp tooth and her dad’s blue hair

I’ve trying to learn to knit to see if I can have a chill hobby. I don’t know how to fix mistakes yet so when I mess up I just undo the whole thing and start from scratch 🫣. But each time it’s better at least? Just undid all of this lmao. I like the process though

Convincing you to read my book with the first sentence. Share yours if you want.

(First sentence and spread of My Sister the Werebeast)
A spread from a comic book My Sister the Werebeast. Three witch-like characters are posing in front of a purple sky background. The text reads “Many hundreds of years ago.. this world belong to - the magicians.”

Out of context frame from the next animation
Lineart for a frame from the new beanie animation. On the left is a figure of beanie wearing a scarf she’s dramatically has one arm draped over her head in a gesture of woe. The on the right is Beanie in the window, hand leaning on the glass wistfully looking out, raindrops falling.
