About & Directory of Work
Hello Humans! I'm Airic, a queer author and illustrator (and infinite being) hailing from the Rocky Mountains.
Broadly I write speculative fiction, with a primary focus on fantasy and horror (always some flavor of queer, of course), and I've been known to dabble in poetry from time to time.
My illustrations tend to be character focused and fantasy in theme. I also enjoy drawing object-heads, designing book covers & maps, and painting vintage-inspired Christmas cards.
Please ask me about conlangs and foraging.
