Hi! I don't use this much anymore, considering deleting at some point as many have. You can still find me elsewhere under the same name, including the other place!

A total dream of a cover that I got to do - D&D queer highschool romance? THAT'S A YES FROM ME
22 Aug 2024
The cover of @mk_englandโs upcoming rom-com, ROLL FOR LOVE, is one of the most beautiful covers Iโve ever seen.
They revealed it today and I just had to share. Itโs out with @RP_Kids next year.
