I love characters that are Lawful Good in a negative way. When a character is so keen on following the rules that it actually becomes a hindrance and they can’t see how the rules are faulty or the system is corrupt or how breaking a certain rule could benefit everybody. They can’t do it. It’s not in their nature to see the world outside of the black and white mentality. And then i love seeing these characters slowly learn how to see the world in shades of grey.

“You silly, delightful man. There is nothing to be sorry for. You fought for us.” - Arthur, THE HOUSE IN THE CERULEAN SEA by TJ Klune
Here is my contribution to Our Favorite Scene Zine latest edition, which compiled over 20 artists’ interpretations of the reunion scene from THE HOUSE IN THE CERULEAN SEA. This book was my first inroad to TJ’s staggering body of work, and remains one of my comfort books at times when my faith in humanity is challenged, or when parenting two smarty-pants gets particularly hard. 😅 From the outset, I wanted to focus on the kids’ reactions to Arthur and Linus’s reunion, because love is something that children inherit from their grownups, and that joy multiplies as they grow up in safe and accepting spaces. I hope you like how it came out. 💕

Colourful new commission. Another showing for Good Omens which pops up on about every third list I get sent! I like varying the covers I use for it and I particularly like this one with a little relaxing Crowley

I feel like TJ Klune has really tapped into the boundless queer yearning to have love and sanctuary, and a funny little house.

Without a second thought, Linus reached up and cupped Arthur’s face. His skin was hot, but Linus wasn’t afraid of being singed and blackened. Arthur would never allow it. The fire tickled against the backs of his hands. “There, there,” Linus said quietly. “That’s enough of that, I think. You’ve made your point quite well.”  - The House in the Cerulean Sea
I love a good desperate face grab - some excellent face holding in this book!

Recently I’ve read the house in the cerulean sea and I loved it SO much!!! I couldn't stop thinking about them so I HAD to make a least a sketch of these lovely characters who have my entire heart

Hello happy pride month, here are some sweet and relatively low-stakes queer reads for you:
Cursed Cocktails by SL Rowland - a blood mage retires after decades of fighting to protect his people, and moves to a small coastal town where the heat will be good for his chronic pain. He opens a cocktail bar and maybe falls in love with his business partner.
The House in the Cerulean Sea by TJ Klune - case worker has to investigate a group home of very powerful magical orphans. One of them is the antichrist. He tries not to lose his mind. Finds love (platonic and romantic) along the way
Legends and Lattes by Travis Baldree - badass orc barbarian decides to retire from her life of fighting and opens a cafe in a town where no one has heard of coffee before. Finds a family along the way.
A Rival Most Vial by RK Ashwick - two rival potion shop owners who hate everything about each other find out they have to work together on a potion for the mayor. Find out that maybe they don't hate each other that much after all. Oh and there's a found family in there somewhere.

extremely upper management sending their gayest, loneliest case worker straight into the arms of a found family in need of a second dad:
