After my tweets about supporting bipoc artists, I have made Patreon tier stickers to give out to patrons both new and old in thanks for their support for me. I have also written a very personal post about the meaning behind the imagery. It is public:

@Jeremy_virtualk That shot and the shot of Howl putting Sophie down on the balcony was the moment I realized I had a crush on not one but TWO animated characters OOPS. I considered choosing these but then thought to myself, "...how much do I want to suffer painting a background in gouache?"
Jessica Field's abstract landscapes are beautiful and I look at them a lot when I'm feeling stuck or need to feel inspired/uplifted by color.

Maggie Chiang's use of strong contrast is everything and I love her limited palettes with her paints.

Wait, no, I lied. I have more artists:
@vanessagillings's dreamy watercolors are always some I love looking at and her IG's highlights have a lot of really helpful info on watercolors!
Next is @littlethunderr. There's no way I'll ever achieve this level of skill with a brush but god damn is it satisfying to watch. Their videos are super informative, too.
I’m working on a MG cover for the first time in a year & remembering how dang much I enjoy the process, so I’m going to tweet it into existence:
I‘d like to get 4 more projects for illustrating covers this year. My love is MG. ADs, come at me #kidlitart (see: my two latest!)
