I got to do the cover and some interiors for Zanni Louise's new book 'K-Pop Superfans: Battle of the Bands'! I had so much fun designing outfits (and adding lots of glitter)

Illustration of 4 teen girls with mics on a stage with spotlights shining on them. The lead is in a tracksuit, while her friends are dressed in whimsical, goth and preppy styles.

The same girls dance in a shed with fairy lights in front of a giant poster for their favourite Kpop girl group.

The lead girl dances alone on a stage in front of a wild crowd. The spotlight comes from a man in star glasses and fur coat glowing like a star, evilly holding up his hands.

This bug was me this past week disappearing into the wilderness 🏕

"Logging off & touching grass" a pun with a red beetle hopping off a log and into long dense grass. More bugs like a pill bug, fly, butterfly, and ants move around the rest of the space

Aaand sweet and silly edition:

A porcupine in a knit sweater sewing a bug-patterned quilt. 3 porcupine kids enjoy the rest of the quilt by 'trying it on' in the mirror, wrapping it over their head, and taking a nap on the rug.

2 frogs riding an apple core-shaped carousel with colourful snail 'horses'. A clown worm sits on top. The frame is classic carnival foods and vines

"Burthday Baking for Bugs"-- a bunch of bugs carry and mix ingredients, wait by the oven and ice the finished cakes. The last panel is full of partying bugs at a feast

Popping in some more recent works: slightly spooky edition

Practice book cover titled "Something Creaks" in scratchy hand-drawn font. Two teens framed by a glow from below enter an attic filled with vintage furniture. A humanoid shadow with glowing eyes is reflected in an armoire behind them

A teenage girl and her werewolf friend eating popcorn and a rotisserie chicken and watching a movie on a bed. Tbe room is decorated with alien/monster/cryptid related trinkets and decor.

2 digitally coloured sketchbook pages--medieval-inspired women's punk fashion and a cat playing a ghost combat game at a computer

Paige Walshe@paigewalshe· Jul 3

First Artfight attack for @sygnin.com I had to pick Catarax because his flame armour looked so cool and I had to give it a shot. If I do more attacks they'll probably also be traditional!

Blue pencil and ink sketchbook illustration of a man in decorstive spiky armour holding a two-handed sword in front of him witb a tattered cape flowing behind him.

Took a break to #makeaterriblecomic

Pen doodle of me speedwalking down the hall in a robe and slippers, holding my cat

Looking at the dark glass back door where my other cat is scratching

My cat turns around, something in the void opens glowing eyes and pspspsps at him to lure him outside

I toss the cat i'm holding out the door (opened by my other cat) for them to fight the monster.

Froggy! Autumn Antics comes out next month, so I made these slides about how pre-orders and libraries are super helpful for authors 🫶

All done! If you're coming to #TCAF, come check out this little zine about It's silly thoughts I have about my cats Goose and Gator: their relationship as brothers, what they'd be like in different universes, what they could be thinking about throughout the day, and more.

Paige Walshe@paigewalshe· May 26

Back from printing at the library! Time to fold 🫡

Corner of a zine page titled "what would [my cats] be like in different universes?" On this fantasy quest, the first cat says: I heard about something called second breakfast (LOTR reference), the second responds: you had it already, and it was called my breakfast'

Paige Walshe@paigewalshe· May 24

It's bath time by the waterfall 🧼 This is another illustration inspired by recent walks through parks and seeing all the different critters out enjoying the day. The heron/gosling/groundhog counts are off the CHARTS!!

Printed illustration of a group of frogs bathing in a little waterfall. 2 are running over with their towels, one is drying their back, one is wrapped up and enjoying the warm towel, one is barely visible soaking in the water, one is moisturizing on the shore. In the water: one is shampooing in the falls, one is scrubbing their armpits in a pile of suds, one scrubs their annoyed kid's head while the other kid plays with a fish like a plane

Happy Turtle Day 🐢💚

Illustration of a turtle-run crepe cafe made out of a discarded tin can. Turtles sit around eating or swimming away with takeout boxes. The border is made of lots of strawberry branches and leaves

Paige Walshe@paigewalshe· May 22

Nevermind "think" I'M DOING IT!!! Hopefully in time for TCAF!!! It's silly thoughts I have about my little guys: their relationship as brothers, what they'd be like in different universes, and what they could be thinking about throughout the day.

Paige Walshe@paigewalshe· May 17

Today's workshop was so fun! The goal was to show how little decisions here and there lead to entirely unique designs even with simple drawings, which led unexpectedly to buff figure skater frog, Sailor Moon frog, and a gundam frog tutorial🐸 One more day!
