I'm delighted to drop this new artwork, commissioned by the wonderful team at @delreybooks to celebrate the upcoming release of AGNES AUBERT’S MYSTICAL CAT SHELTER by @heather_fawcett!

I was grateful to read an early copy from #DelReyBooks to deep-dive into Heather's crafted new world, and I'm not exaggerating when I say this was my TOP read at the end of last year. This was the first time I've wanted a stand-alone to not be a stand-alone, as Agnes and Havelock and all of the shelter kitties are my new obsession!

In the book, Agnes Aubert is on the search for a new space after her cat shelter was collaterally damaged by a spontaneous magician street duel. She ends up unwittingly leasing a new space from Havelock Renard, the First Dark Mage who infamously almost caused the apocalypse -- a worst case scenario for Agnes when magic is outlawed. Agnes is adamant on keeping her cats safe and her charity sensible, but soon her no-nonsense policies clash with Havelock's stubborn personality and his precarious dealings in magic, bringing the attention of the authorities and other unexpected magical dangers to her doorstep.

Please sit down and enjoy this cozy fantasy set in 1920's Montréal, packed with bejeweled magicians, magical pastries, and the ultimate cat distribution system!

AGNES AUBERT’S MYSTICAL CAT SHELTER is available everywhere books are sold on February 17!

"Unmake Me" Dropping the first papercraft of the

"Unmake Me"

Dropping the first papercraft of the year, and the first full papercraft I've personally done in 4 years (if you exclude commissions and standees). I was grateful to catch one of the limited theatrical screenings of Guillermo del Toro's (@gdtreal) Frankenstein (2025) at the end of last year and I think we can all agree this scene was one of the stand-out moments in the film. But there were also several themes that hit me with such a powerful resonation, I felt like my soul was sucked into the film and split between the mind of Victor and the heart of the Creature.

Firstly, how could I have not captured this scene in papercraft? Assembling the Creature from scraps of paper, moments before he's meant to become scraps himself. It allowed me to step into Victor's shoes, and relive the obsessive pursuit he describes in the film, only to suddenly meet his goal and aimlessly fumble with what he's created, chaining it in the dungeon, out of sight and mind. I similarly find myself, after tireless nights of dedicated crafting, throwing my completed papercrafts into my closet, documented, abandoned, eager to start the next one.

My Cake Tier Patreon members can download a digital papercraft kit of this when I drop the files later tonight!

I don't have enough characters to finish, so read on further on the last two slides if interested in how this papercraft marks a personal health milestone for me.

Otherwise, have a wonderful day!

"Unquiet Ache"

Dropping the latest Sketch-a-Wish, voted on by my lovely Patreon members for October! This time featuring Ione and Elm from Two Twisted Crowns by @rmgillig !

Rachel created a really compelling theme between the two female leads in the second book, I noticed. One trapped in her mind, the other trapped in her body, both clawing to escape.

This art has been officially licensed and prints are available in both shops! (link in bio!)

Also don't miss my other recently licensed pieces from WHAT THE RIVER KNOWS by @isabelibanezbooks and a new SJM piece!

It's been a couple of years since I started working on these edges for the @litjoycrate edition of the Grishaverse series by @lbardugo . Now that the last set is released, I can drop my stock pile of illustrations!

I believe the original pitch was to have silhouettes of a selected group of characters with a prominent location featured on each book. I pulled back the 'silhouette' a bit to give more details to the characters which is why they are primarily lacking facial expressions, cast in dark shadows. There's a certain nuance when you remove the eyes from a character. There is less of an immediate connection and your attention is instead finding another place to land.

I think one of my favorite parts of this was combing through each of the series to find the 4 little symbol motifs framing the characters for each book. I'm happy that all of these little details were able to show up on the final printed edges! (they all look amazing!)

FINAL REMINDER: Six of Crows papercraft set (Featherdark & Hook and Crook) LEAVE my shops in TWO DAYS, when the license expires at the end of December 31, 2025!

I'm super grateful to @lbardugo and @newleafliterary to have the opportunity to bring these prints to you, but it was only for a limited time! If you've been eyeing these pieces throughout the years in my giveaways, now is the best and possibly last time to grab the prints!

Remember that you can get FREE SHIPPING with the purchase of four or more items on my Shopify or Etsy store with coupon code OTPSHIP.

Happy Great Holiday!

Hope everyone is having a wonderful and safe holiday season with their friends and family!

I didn't have time for my annual bookish Christmas Tree this year, but I'm going off to celebrate with someone else's tree later today! 🥳🎄

I'll leave you with this Legend snow globe I made last year in the height of "Spectacular" hype! I made six of these and sent them out to the team who worked with me on the book. It doesn't have water (I didn't want to risk leaking on electronics) but it has a spectacular light up feature and a hilarious humbug to keep me company at my work desk.

Calling all Circuit crafters! I wanted to highlig

Calling all Circuit crafters!

I wanted to highlight one of the fun seasonal benefits I offer my Cake Tier Patreon Members: A Digital Papercraft Kit!

Each season, my Patreon members vote on adapting one of my past papercrafts into a downloadable kit for more experienced crafters to whip out their Cricut and craft their very own papercraft!

We just voted in this season's kit: Pas De Deux, a very in-season Nutcracker inspired papercraft. Which has been remastered from the original piece (third slide) and is available for the rest of the season~

Each kit is a downloadable packet of files which includes @cricut / @silhouette.inc ready SVG files and a detailed set of guides and tips on assembly.

Programs required: Cricut Design space (or equivalent), PSD compatible graphic program such as Photoshop, or GIMP (Free to download)

Please note that this does not include step-by-step instructions like my physical papercraft kits. Assembly is managed through PSD files. Paper, frames, and other crafting supplies are not included with this kit. This kit is not for sale and for personal use only.

This one is one of my more advanced kits, so if you're interested in building one but want to try something a little more beginner friendly, I have many other kits at different difficulty levels available on my Patreon (under Digital Downloads) included in the Cake Tier membership.

Can't wait to see these builds out in the wild! ✨🧡

Dropping the latest Sketch-a-Wish inspired by Rose

Dropping the latest Sketch-a-Wish inspired by Rose in Chains by @juliesotowrites , voted by my lovely Patreon members for the month of September!

I listened to this book prompted by the SAW poll and didn't know what kind of scene to look out for since I was given a blank prompt. But even after finishing this book, this scene stood out as my favorite. I love the type of trope where the main character is misrepresenting the actions of their 'enemy' love-interest. (this happens a lot in The Folk of the Air, if you recall).

I knew exactly what was happening here, even only a few chapters in, and even with Briony gaslighting herself. I was sitting on my hands for that green dress to make its flashback debut. PEAK. 🤌✨

This Sunday, I will be in Winter Park as part of the group of vendors celebrating with the @writersblockbookstorefl event: Winter Park Christmas Evening with Jan Brett!

The event starts at 5:00PM at the Old Train Depot. The Jan Brett event is ticketed, so hurry over to @writersblockbookstorefl events page to grab them! Otherwise the vendors are free to explore!

I'll have prints for sale, a bunch of papercraft originals displayed, a scavenger hunt for the kiddos and giveaways!

See you there!
