⛅Made this illustration inspired by Kim Thuy's novel "Ru."
Wanted to create a piece that captured my takeaway from the novel as each entry is a lullaby that preserves history that can't be told by the history books. It has to be preserved through the family. In a way, it reminded me of how children's literature utilizes portal-quest fantasies to teach lessons. In a way, this is what family stories do but bring us into the worlds we can learn from.

Finally, all caught up with X-men' 97 who's your fave so far? 👉
--- Decided to get back into drawing for myself with a little spin on the Red Bishop design from Marvel comics. I was inspired particularly to incorporate Indigenous Australian patterns made by Saretta Fielding into his actual ability typology.

"The Crystal Astronaut" concept artwork for a Children's Picture Book I hope to make someday.
Here is a little plot summary: In Palestine 2080, Samar Jida gathers her grandchildren to tell them of the adventures of the Crystal Astronaut...
The full summary is on the blog post.
--
This story focuses on talking about Palestinian people's immigrant, refugee, and diasporic stories. To also guide children in finding identity through these complex aspects of life.
Many thanks to Sabahat Ahmad & Rameesah Khan for the research and consultation for this project. 💜

Alright, let's do this one last time-- ⚡💜💖💚
My name is Joelle Ji (冀).
I was bitten by a radioactive spider. But turns out it had a symbiote inhabiting it!
And for the past 2 months, I've been the one and only Orchid-Spider. Saved a bunch of people. May have pissed off some people. Saved the city once. Sometimes a buddy to Spider-Woman and sometimes a buddy to Deadpool. Depends on how I'm vibing.
I'm on some kids' backpacks. A few stickers on some street signs. And most likely on the watchlist for most of the pigs in the city. Not just excluding cops.
But after everything...
I still love being Orchid-Spider.

Overcoat Man spotted!! 🌳😮
A monster character design for a concept trading card design in Magic the Gathering. Inspired by the myths of overcoat man and fusing it with scorpion-like features.
TLDR: Made this for a course, I'm not fully researched into the Magic the Gathering topic 😶

💫Haven't been posting since I've been busy with commissions. I am pleased to share a recently completed one!
Commission Type: Album Cover - Personalized Commission
Client: C.B.
Made this for a client looking to make a personal album they wanted to share with their family and friends. A wholesome project that was inspired by Star Wars, Journey Escape, and Billy Joel. (Yes, the spaceship is a piano)
Had a blast with this one and looking forward to the next commission! Feel free to email or DM me on Discord if you'd like to inquire about the next slot.

"I don't think the ritual I once knew is applicable
I must accept the fact that I've grown
Grown to how they've wanted
Independent and Free
But too independent thinking
Too free believing
Perhaps we can't gather around the TV
Perhaps it is better to leave
Continue the paradox of loving
Wanting to love
But realizing you are not wanted fully
Since we're just stuck on streaming
I must let go
I must make peace
There is no more gathering around the TV
~ Rose L." The full poem is available on my blog: https://www.rjrannikalui.com/post/television-streaming

Happy Earth Day! 🌎
--- Made this poster last year as a dedication to landback movements and the pursuit to overcome pollution in our lands. I was primarily inspired by Kahenientha Cross with her movements to preserve her people's lands in 2021 and the continued fight against corporations polluting indigenous land without any accountability.
May we all continue the fight to be accountable as stewards of this earth and the creation that lives in it.
