Bluestone Folklore Illustrations
PHOTO DESCRIPTION: Last chapter illustration of Bluestone Folklore.
Bluestone Folklore is a novel written by Timothy Stoddard that I illustrated in 2023. Tim envisioned illustrations on every chapter page, similar to illuminated text. I wanted to create illustrations rich in symbolism and intricate detail in a darkly evocative atmosphere. I borrowed inspiration from a collection of graphic artists & illustrators like Aubrey Beardsley, Gustave Doré, Sophy Hollington, and Tiffany Bozic. In each illustration, I aim to provoke feelings of unease and introspection that challenges readers to confront the darkness and magic of the story as it unfolds and create a thought-provoking visual experience that lingers in the mind long after the story is complete.
Bluestone Folklore is available in print at bookstores and online!

Pet portrait commissions
In 2020, I painted a portrait of a cat with heterochromatic eyes as a way to cope with the uncertainty of our future and the anxiety induced by quarantine. When I shared the portrait to social media, I began receiving commissions from friends who wished to capture their beloved pets.
