Please read the talented @amybookwhisper1 Amy Marques’s HISSING IN THE WIND! It was a joy to illustrate for her excellent flash fiction piece. Its a wonderful metaphorical story that breaks my heart; I feel the yearning of the narrator.

I know I’m a spoiled Orlando-kid because I’d be someone who’d probably instinctively quip “they’re everywhere”. It’s legitimately interesting to me that they’re not, in fact, “everywhere.”
Thinking about the last time I said I really want to try a Mold-A-Rama machine cause I've never seen one & a million people replied gaslighting me like "what they're EVERYWHERE," then linked a map showing there are like 12 in chicago 20 in orlando and 0 in the rest of the country

I had an absolute wonderful time illustrating for “My Father Called Me Firework”. @courtney_clute is so talented, and the visuals I had all the while reading this story stay with me.

Woke up at five thirty am to @$*# around on my phone until *checks watch* right now. 😑 Sorry, Self!
July: start using Twitter for good! Like supporting flash fiction writers and literary magazines such as Ghost Parachute. I illustrated for @nanopausa — The Storming of Rome. It was a joy to create this art because I get to revel in the story!

The world was divided on Wordle, most loved it, many hated it. The only thing that could bring us all together was agreeing the NYT will absolutely ruin it.

Without spoilers- I don’t know what certain life changes are like, yet this writer made me feel like I could empathize so much. The talent, I tell ya!!! I’m so proud to have illustrated for Thirteen Letters and of course to be invited to do so by Ghost Parachute.

Congratulations! It is a haunting piece, and I’m always so amazed by what writers such as @covo_noa create and evoke with only words. 💕 🖊

As the Supreme Court today hears a case on Roe v. Wade, let me be very clear. It is a woman who has the right to control her own body, not the government. If men were the ones giving birth, I doubt that this would be in question.

This is an amazing piece by @avramargariti. It grabbed me on the first read; however, like so many things that spark my inspiration, it’s somehow even more engaging reread upon reread. It made my heart hurt in the best way. Also, I think I too love the gravedigger girlfriend ⚰️
