PORK THIEF PORK THIEF
(More photos behind the cut of my Maya and Pearl Fey paper illustration!)
I couldn't find the portrait frame I put aside for this, so I modified it to be square for framing, oops. But I'm still happy with it!
Alternate angles!
Details! I had fun with their expressions.
Food details 🤤🍜🥟
The idea was always to showcase Maya and Pearl enjoying ramen together, but I played with the layout and story of the piece a bit. I thought it would be too mean for Maya to steal Pearl's food, so I did the opposite. It was fun making Pearl a little gremlin.
I didn't take many photos mid-build, unfortunately, but here are the completed girls! I used some absolutely gorgeous Japanese papers for their clothes, which shimmer in the light.
Work-in-progress of the ramen bowl, those patterns were a pain to cut out. This is the second time I've used the same bowl design from Eldoon's Noodles from Apollo Justice.
Because the pattern on the Japanese paper I used for their clothes wasn't consistent, I had to find a way to see what would look good on the piece. I did that by cutting out their clothes from a paper template and laying it down upon my patterned paper.
Goofing around with different patterns…
Here's the video tour!
Framed! This was a fun piece to work on and I was happy to finally make something with Maya AND Pearl!
I made this for the wonderful Ace Assistants Zine (@aceassistantszine) which you can now download for free! Take a look and enjoy art and writing from lots of cool people!
Hello, My name is Mosab Elderawi, and I live in Gaza with my family. Life here has become harder than I ever imagined, and I’m writing this with hope in my heart that you might hear our story.
The ongoing war has devastated my family. We’ve lost 25 family members—each one a beloved part of our lives, taken too soon. I miss them deeply—their laughter, their presence, their love. Every day is a reminder of this unimaginable loss.

We are now facing daily challenges to survive—things that most people take for granted, like food, clean water, and a safe place to sleep. The harsh realities of life here have replaced our dreams with the constant fight for survival.
Our Current Situation:
💔 Lost Stability: The war has left us without work or a stable source of income. 🍞 Basic Needs: Food and water are becoming harder to afford with rising prices and scarce resources. 📚 Dreams on Hold: Like so many here, my family’s dreams have been replaced by the need to simply survive. 😢 Unimaginable Loss: Losing 25 loved ones has left a void that can never be filled.
How You Can Help:
I’m sharing our story with the hope that someone out there might care. Even $5 can make a big difference for us, and if you’re unable to donate, just reblogging this post can help spread the word.
Your kindness, no matter how small, is something we’ll never forget.
What This Means to Us:
Your support is not about changing our entire situation—it’s about giving us a little relief, a little hope, and a way to keep going. We are not asking for much, and we understand if you can’t donate. Sharing our story is just as valuable to us as a donation.
Thank you for reading this far. It means the world to us to know that someone is listening. Your kindness gives us strength and helps us believe in a better tomorrow.
With all our gratitude, Mosab Elderawi and Family ❤️
