Hey there! I'm Julia, a California girl studying by day, drawing her favorite book characters by night! (instagram: @cassberrie)

Congratulations!!! I saw the news via Judy's most recent newsletter and when I saw them, I was like, "I KNOW THAT ARTIST!!!" ^_^

Thank you so much! And yeah, that’s me 🥰❤️

[cassberrie]

Hello hello, hope everyone has been well! I’ve been on hiatus for the last few months, to recover from Shadow and Bone season 2 (iykyk).

The big break has been great for me, giving me time to focus on myself and on some really cool projects! I just got the incredible news that the Barnes and Noble exclusive covers for the paperback editions of Judy I. Lin’s The Book of Tea duology have been revealed, and…

That’s right, it’s my artwork that Judy’s husband commissioned last year, now gracing the covers of these exclusive paperback editions! I’m honestly so stoked and I can’t wait for these to hit shelves ❤️

If any of you are interested, you can find these editions at the following links, where the books are set to be published on April 9, 2024:

A Magic Steeped in Poison here

A Venom Dark and Sweet here

Thank you again to Judy and the amazing team at Macmillan for making the thing happen!

tumblr tuesday: the best of the barrel...and some friends they made along the way

That's right, enjoy your local artists' renderings of everyone's favorite knife wife, best bastard, butterfly enthusiast, waffel queen, wolf lad... and Jesper.

While you're at it, swing by the Answer Time to catch the cast navigating the tricky waters of your questions, and join them in voting on the polls that dive right to the heart of the truly important questions, such as who won the most, and which crow would be least helpful in a crisis (can anyone save Jesper please?).

Happy Shadow and Bone Season 2 release day!! I’m so ready to sink in and enjoy all the fresh content for our sun queen and darkles 😩🖤

[cassberrie]

Ren Scarborough from Kylie Lee Baker’s The Keeper of Night duology! I love angry lady protagonists, and Ren’s struggle to carve out a space for herself in a world that won’t accept her makes her a favorite of mine. This series is just so fun and packed full of death magic + Japanese mythology + female rage.

Mixed in both silver and gold foil to match the in-book motif of her biracial lineage. Might have placed the sun and moon in the back in accordance to which of Izanagi’s eyes each god was born from… Might even have made the moon a little brighter to represent how the moon is always looking out for Ren no matter where she goes 🥺💙

Happy Rule of Wolves release day! Here, have some Zoya art to celebrate the return of the queen, the storm witch herself 💙💙

[cassberrie]

Thank you @dismembermentsong and everyone who got me to 10000 reblogs!

I did not realize this was a thing but it’s kinda neat 😌❤️

The alternate dust jacket I designed for Fox & Wit for their edition of Blood and Moonlight by Erin Beaty 💙💙

The companion commission for A Magic Steeped in Poison, this time based around A Venom Dark and Sweet by Judy I. Lin 💜

[cassberrie]

A really cool commission that I received for Ning, the protagonist of A Magic Steeped in Poison!

Judy’s husband reached out to me to commission these, and I can only say that I’m so honored 💜 Is there a companion piece?? Maybe 😌✨

[cassberrie]

Happy release day to Last of the Talons by Sophie Kim! An angry assassin and smug dokkaebi king do make for a wonderful pairing 🖤

[cassberrie]

Happy Mid-autumn Festival 🌙💙✨ Enjoy your mooncakes y’all 💙💙

“She crossed the entire empire to save me. I will never leave her again.”

Ruyi and Zhen from Judy I. Lin’s A Magic Steeped in Poison, commissioned as a preorder campaign art print for her upcoming sequel, A Venom Dark and Sweet.

AMSIP is one of my favorite reads of 2022, so naturally I was just stoked to get this opportunity to do official art! Zhen and Ruyi fall into your classic cdrama “princess and handmaiden” roles except… this time they’re in love 👀❤️ I definitely recommend the series, and if you preorder the second book before August 23, you’ll get a free gold foil print of these two ✨

[cassberrie]

Darklina, but what if Alina was found in Shu Han? ☀️✨

Aka, an excuse for me to draw hanfu for AAPI month 😌💙

[cassberrie]

Ning from A Magic Steeped in Poison by Judy I. Lin 🍵💜 Have I mentioned how much I love the magic system?? Ning’s magic in particular is super fun and I’m so excited for book 2!

A fake book embossing design I made for Judy I. Lin’s fantastic book, A Magic Steeped in Poison! I couldn’t pick between this and another concept that I wanted to paint, so I decided to have my cake and eat it by turning this into a gold emboss design instead 😌✨
