Happy Halloween, happy day of the dead, happy All Souls’ Day to the 2 other Lithuanians/Lithuanian-Americans following this blog (lmao).

I don’t usually post art on Halloween because I’m too busy celebrating it, so here’s my costume.

Hey y’all, I’ve finally gotten my print store set up. I know several of you were really interested in the Lenormand prints - please be patient, those will be up in a few days. :)

For now I have some limited release Halloween totes and stickers, as well as these protection herb hats which will be available all winter.

Hi beautiful humans! What sort of items would you like prints on? I’m doing a small test drop for falloween to launch my shop, and I’m thinking crops, a beanie, and a few paper prints.

a fun and cool story: this is a nightmare I had when I fell asleep in the car in Nebraska during a road trip

Užgavėnės masks. I know this holiday has a lot of harmful stereotypes used as masks in Lithuania so I decided to... not draw any of our traditional ones. Instead, all of these are horror movie monsters - see if you can guess which is which. 😛 Some are a bit niche..

Did an art trade with a pal (they made me a really cool elf hat/hood with a pom on the end for my garb!) and I drew them this snake and eye combo :) it’s really small, about 5x7 framed.

I heard we liked the Lenormand cards around here (seriously, damn, thanks for all the notes!) so I’ve been working on coloring more :)

witch hats

heyo! so I’ve been offline and not working for a long time now because I may or may not have had covid, then an ear infection, then an allergic reaction to the antibiotics, so unlike many of my editorial peers I have to admit with full transparency that I did not have a full day’s pay to offer. I’ve instead donated to this donation splitting tool for BLM and have been playing the donate video, and have committed to the following:

- As I return to work I’ll be researching publications and jobs before pitching them or accepting gigs, to make sure that not only am I not accepting a job that should have been offered to a Black illustrator, but any job I do accept is not perpetuating further racism. EG, asking more concretely what the article is about, who wrote it, etc. There’s been a lot of conversations on Twitter about this today and I believe someone may be compiling a resource to track it more easily, am not sure about end result yet.

- Publicly sharing my pay from a publication or client whenever possible. Lack of transparency in illustration and design pay makes it easier for discrimination to occur, and not talking about it makes you complicit. ✨

- Many of you on here and on insta have asked about prints and I have replied privately, but I would like to state publicly that when I do make them, I will not and will never offer prints of any of my offering candle images or the Inktober series focusing on BIPOC witchcraft imagery. I was given permission and encouraged to participate in an art challenge hosted by @/poetagoddess and feel it is inappropriate as a white person to sell them. I encourage you to instead check out GDBee or tearoseillustration on Insta. Edited to add: HelloWildflowerrr makes amazing stickers and pins too!

Thanks for reading pals, and please do tell me if snd when I fuck up, I am trying to always unpack stuff and do better.

Black lives matter, forever n ever.
