I’ve been commissioned again by the lovely organizers of the Sirens annual conference to do a logo for this year’s theme.

About Sirens:

The conference, both scholarly examination and professional retreat, welcomes academics, authors, professionals, and readers to attend—and provide varying perspectives on fantasy books by women, female characters in fantasy works, the market for fantasy by and about women, and how to support women in fantasy literature.

Art created using Photoshop and Illustrator.

The Wizard of Oz is a pretty beloved public domain! These are some commissions for cover illustrations for a role-playing game, based on the Oz series. Read more about the game Adventures in Oz.

Two characters from a TV show. A couple of excerpts to give close-ups on their faces.

Done with Photoshop

Tattoo commission: Britannia looking snarky. The concept goal was to eliminate the right-wing stigma generally associated with her in the UK.

Tattoo commission: Owls with inspirational saying. I forgot where the quote came from…Oscar Wilde? Anyway, the concept goal was to imitate Marie GrandPre’s art.

Bookplate commission: Books and yarn. The goal was simple: books falling on yarn, to reflect the interests of the client. Sweet and simple.
