Did I make a slightly impulsive FB Marketplace purchase? Maybe, but now I have a new favorite genre of photo so
Had an amazing, impromptu birthday celebration while Bex is in town and now I have a new tiki mug son! Name suggestos welcome for the Hork! (Also thank you to my cool ass friends for a great night 💖)
In an absolutely incredible “what a small world” moment, I did the publication design for this book and was SO delighted to see Trick’s name in the credits! Don’t miss this one, it’s fire 🔥🔥🔥
If you’re at SDCC, don’t forget to gaze upon my giant pillar wraps I didn’t realize we were making! All those vines are hand drawn by me for A Thing you will see soon! (Photo courtesy of a wonderful friend who’s at the con) 💚
Exciting news! I got my first cover credit! I was so, so pleased with how this symbol variant turned out for Absolute Catwoman #1 and getting my name as the cover credit was icing on the cake! Sometimes you just gotta make something that will look cool in foil ✨
Very happy that I get to do a little WonderCon day today :3 I’m walking around in a red Hawaiian shirt with a large Philz Coffee if you see me!
I’m VERY excited to share that my first comic logo came out this week!! So if you pick up a copy of Aquaman 15 (now Emperor Aquaman), you can see my ✨fancy new logo✨ with incredible cover art by John Timms!
If you’re also having trouble holding onto the thing the stuck screw is in, like it’s small and moves around, I would also suggest picking up some quick clamps and attach it very tightly to sturdy piece of furniture. Also if you have a different sort of issue, DM me! I can try to help!!
If you’re trying to get a stripped screw out of something I suggest picking up a pair of locking pliers. You turn the screw on the bottom and adjust the distance between the jaws so it can create a tight fit on the stuck screw and then clamp them down. The pliers will act like a big handle!
Happy Valentine’s Day to the one (1) couple I actually draw 💖 I love my wife, Josephine Montilyet
Huh… Also like no where near the Dragon Age OR Comics islands which is fascinating
My manager brought this over to my desk and was like “I figured you’d like the Nightwing one!” And like omg yes I do, boss 😩
I’ve been watching Livi play Astro Bot and every time she finds a new bot character it’s just
Been watching alot of Animal Crossing content with the new update and occasionally I will suddenly remember I have not only a birthday twin villager, but she also SHARES MY SAME NAME?!
Very excited to finally say that I’ll be starting at DC Comics in the new year as an Associate Art Director!! Like literal dream come true for a Batman girlie like me 😩
Was messing around with the idea of a western, bounty hunter Poison Ivy design a while ago. There’s some things I like about this… def some things I DONT like as well, but the colors and vibes are nice at least.
@worldofthedaszine.bsky.social art pt. 5! A carved jade and driftwood statuette meant to represent the multicultural aspects of Rivaini culture. I thought it would be interesting to show an elf, a human, AND a qunari wreathed in flames, which typically is only used in art of Andraste
@worldofthedaszine.bsky.social art pt. 4! I didn't know if this one was gonna end up in the Rivain chapter or the recipes chapter, but either way, proud of how yummy this soup looks. I even hid a tiny fish head in there as a nod to the recipe illustrations in the original World of Thedas book!
@worldofthedaszine.bsky.social art pt. 3! This spot illustration became my secret fave of the batch. My pitch for this was to show the mixing of cultures thru time in Rivain with an old, overgrown statue sitting in the shadow of a banner from Antaam invaders. And man, I just love drawing foliage.
Ok, last piece I'll post rn! I had the pleasure of making the Taash char. art for @worldofthedaszine.bsky.social. I wanted to use a style that would be really bold when presented next to the other companions. idk it just felt right for Taash! Love how it turned out, the axes almost killed me tho ☠️
Some close ups + a screen cap since this piece was also used as the background for the Foreword!
One of the pieces I made for @worldofthedaszine.bsky.social! The concept was a Lord of Fortune painting a mural above a massive treasure pit and man, this one kicked my ass. I'm not much of a painter imo, but I'm happy with the end product here! Also Isabela def swims like Scrooge McDuck in there 🏊
This year on my Spotify wrapped we got uh *checks notes* 2 songs from the 70’s, a big band number, some aggro girlie rock, and also Noah Kahan. This is normal, yes?
Been messing around with the new brushes that came in the Procreate update, turned out perfect for something Batman related. (Brushes used were Bronzewing and Vinyl)
Pro graphic designer/illustrator with a lot of experience making posters! More work here: www.juliarago.com/illustration
I’m obsessed with your dog and this pic! The big eye, the one visible leg, it’s art. I would trust your dog with the fate of the world for sure 👌
