Part 2/2 of my promo art for Swordcrossed by @fahye, out now! See the one I did for the ladies here.

I got to go to an actual sword museum to do sketches and research for swords! Which was a highlight of my summer! These boys are such lovable walking disasters, I adore them with my whole heart but also want to slap them repeatedly. Private sword lessons where the student's progress is hopeless but the flirting is through the roof 👌

Swordcrossed by @fahye is finally out, and I had the pleasure of doing a series of promo art for this cozy book. Here are the ladies being their sassy competent selves, and a cameo of some of Glassport's culinary delights. The guilds, with their patron deities as the center of everything in their day to day lives, are one of my favourite parts of this universe. Such a joy to paint this colourful and immersive fantasy world.

Part 1 of 2, see the boys here!

Inspired by the eventing cross country at the Olympics, but add frills and giant horses. I missed drawing him!

Third Leyendecker inspired piece for @fahye's The Last Binding trilogy, the other two can be found here and here. To express the overbrimming joy the last book gave me and draw some more hats.

A Marvellous Light promotional art, part of a series for Freya Marske/@fahye's stunning The Last Binding trilogy. See the ones for book 2 and 3 here!

My intend was 'how can I pour as much of my love for the arts and crafts movement in one painting'. It's what Robin would have wanted.

(Please also check out this perfect Edwin song that I listened to for weeks while painting.)

my The Last Binding tag for more of these two softies, and my art tag.

Book launch poster for A Power Unbound, book 3 of Freya Marske/@fahye's spectacular The Last Binding trilogy which has completely taken over my brain for the last few years. See the ones I did for book 1 and 2 here (they do look nice all lined up, if I say so myself!)

This book has so much cool action and twists and turns, and one of my favourite romances of all time (it's somehow the softest and the spiciest). Added all the other characters as well because I adore them, the most hyper competent yet chaotic protagonist group ever to run amok in 1909.
