Here's a long overdue update! It's a crazy busy autumn after an equally busy summer. First of all, I've been trying to do a bit more magazine illustration lately.

I've also been working on my graphic novel over the last two months, and it's finally starting to take shape. Right now it looks like it's going to be over 120 pages long and this terrifies me quite a bit. Here's a spread - wordless for the time being, I'll be adding the lettering later.

I was only familiar with some of Carson's poetry, and haven's read any novels - but now I'm definitely looking forward to reading more!
