Illustrating, comic-making, reading queer books and marsh-daydreaming

[bogoak]

This is a place for me to share my work and inspirations that feels very low pressure, I have a newsletter, and instagram and a portfolio but I put alot of pressure onto sharing there, and I aim for this to be a more freeing sharing space.

Outside of commission work as an illustrator, and making products for my shop (which I share with my gf @freyaelise), my main project is working on my first comic "Fen Violet". I imagine alot of this page will be focussing on that, as outside of work that is where my creativity is foccussed.

"Fen Violet" is an exploration of transformation and the liminality of queerness, set in medieval-like fens and inspired by transformations in folktales and dreams. I am so excited to share it as I work on it more!

I bound this little sketchbook the other day! I wanted something that was like my md sketchbook and would lay flat so I used this lovely scrap linen on the edge. The paper is unused from the back of a couple of old planners and I’m so happy to give them a use. The charms make such nice sounds- I love how small and how thick it is- it’s so tactile. When I start using it I’m going to decorate the cover but I was too indecisive for now🏹🪺📓🕸️

Cobwebs, crossing thresholds, noticing small things

I made 6 new sticker sheets and I've been loving using them in my journal and on my sketchbook!

I spent so long colouring this! I think they look so soft and gentle

Tam Lin my damp deer, currently colouring this drawing to turn it into a print but it will be a double page spread in my comic in b&w!
