I've compiled 2025's sketchbooks into a 30+ page PDF, which you can find here. I have also made available a bundle that collects that sketchbook PDF as well as my sketchbook PDFs from previous years at a little discount.

hi hi! for the next month i'm running a 15% off sale on my print shop (promo code: 4ESKPED). the code does stack with any ongoing site-wide sales.

i'm currently on post-surgical medical leave from my day job and will be for the next few weeks at least. i'm not in financial need; medicaid covered operation costs yay and i have the savings to cover the absent paychecks, so! this is all just to say that if you've ever wanted a print of my work but simply not gotten around to purchasing one, now would be a fantastic time to indulge that 🫶

and if prints aren't your thing, i do have the digital sketchbook shop.

#sorry i don't really have many new offerings since the last time i ran a sale; a lot of my drawing time has gone towards client work

OUR ETERNAL RUPTURE

do not linger; you were made for leaving

Carved in Stone by Stout Stoat Press is a visual encyclopedia and setting guide on early medieval Pictish society.

Earlier in 2025, I lent my hand in illustrating a wide array of real artifacts, speculative penannular brooches, and even the animals that would have inhabited their world.

My copy arrived! And in related news, if you're US-based you can now purchase physical copies from Indie Press Revolution 🎉

an update from my years-long single playthrough of elden ring, i call this sketch collection lark and the dead wives* club

#elden ring #sellen #fia #millicent #lark #*sellen is who lark genuinely wanted to power couple rule the lands between with. but you know how that went.

i realized that i hadn't posted anything that's not a finished illustration (or a preview for an illustration) on this blog all year, and i thought that was a bit of a bummer, so here's me sliding some in under the wire: some old drawings from when i played veilguard.

my rook dahlia ingellvar and my inquisitor yam lavellan.

#dragon age #dahlia #yamquisitor #it started as a joke but what im taking from datv the most is uhm. pairing my own player characters #10am monday hiiii is anyone online

oh my god they did it, i checked my email and they said they fixed my tags and now my stewpot post shows up in the stewpot tag. my carved in stone post doesn't seem to be appearing in the carved in stone tag though. you win some you lose some

elemei

ok they really did it, a member of staff apparently manually re-indexed all of my posts. thank you if you're still out there. now i too, in both past and present, can fill tag searches with x reader fics

#now i can hang out in the friends at the table tag too... hiiii im also a fan #i'll draw fanart again when (looks at my schedule and grimaces) all the planets align once more #anyway i may delete or private these posts later lol

IN MEMORY, WHICH DOESN'T LAST.

✴ finally wrote up another process post, it features this piece

oh my god they did it, i checked my email and they said they fixed my tags and now my stewpot post shows up in the stewpot tag. my carved in stone post doesn't seem to be appearing in the carved in stone tag though. you win some you lose some

#let he who is without stew cast the first stone or whatever

I've just seen your illustrations of pictish stones and they made me so happy! i am American and just moved back to the US after a few years in Scotland. one of my favorite things to do was to drive around to pictish stones or hill forts. so thank you for the reminder of fun times and beautiful ancient stones ❤️

Hello, you're so welcome and thank you for the kind words! That sounds amazing to see some in person, due to distance I was reliant on (very good) reference images and the reviewing eye of a researcher.

While I was the main artist on illustrating real historical stones, if you'd like to generally steep yourself in more Pictish imagery and learning and see a host of gorgeous work by other artists, I highly encourage you to check out the Carved in Stone book. Since you're back in the US you'd have to wait until Indie Press Revolution stocks it to get a physical copy, but a PDF version is also available. 🪨💕
