Bookish illustration & Design

I love books & reading so of course I've made some bookish-related art! Here are some of my best illustrations and design work, including commissions by authors or book boxes. As always, click to see the full photo!

Horror art

Ever since I was a kid I’ve been really interested in the art of horror, whether it be books, games, or movies. A lot of my personal illustrations incorporate some form of horror/eldritch elements.

Other ILlustrations

I don’t just do horror art, I can draw for different genres and in different styles, as well! Here’s some examples of my other non-horror/gothic illustrations.
