ART REVEAL!!! Andrew and Thomas from Donāt Let The Forest In and i am FERAL IN LOVE WITH THIS ART š
@ladyeruart has created pure magic and iām losing my mind over the amount of gorgeous detail. the moss, the ribs entwined, Andrewās fingers hooked in Thomasās rib bones, the freckles, the way they are built into each other.
itās perfection iām beyond obsessed
āFor a vicious moment, Andrew thought about slipping his fingers into Thomasās cut. Taking hold of his rib and breaking it. Pulling the soft crumbling bone from his chest and sewing it into his own. Theyād be forever together, rib against rib, fused in gore and bone and adoration.ā
Donāt Let The Forest In is out in paperback on January 27th with vine stencilled edges and bonus content and let me just say you need it šāš«š donāt forget to preorder!!!
cannot get over how lucky i am to have met
@ladyeruart this year and ridiculously grateful for the incredible pieces sheās done for my books. every single one is divine. ps pls go give her a follow!!!

![[Black Jewels] A bit of an unorthodox post, but I wanted to share! This was the first time I got to design edges for a special edition, and I have to say, it was so cool to be able to pair the colors and flow with the covers I designed! I am a big fan of books where the edges feel like a continuation of the covers, so thatās the sort of spirit I had in mind.The golden spider turned out better than I expected, to be honest. I must have had about ten different references pulled up. Drawing the black jewel brought me back to my middle school years when I was obsessed with Sailor Moon.As always, thank you to @moonlightbookbox for choosing me as the artist for this excellent and impactful trilogy (Black Jewels by Anne Bishop).Thatās all the black jewels posts for now!

![[Black Jewels] I am so happy to show some details for the covers I designed for @moonlightbookbox ās release of the Black Jewels trilogy by Anne Bishop. Being someone who was in middle/high school during the dark fantasy revival in the early 00ās, I was honored to be able to design for such classic books.Even though the books get pretty dark, there was something almost healing in them. I, like many people, have some parts of my past I donāt like to think about, and watching characters heal from struggles and traumas can sometimes help your own psyche take a few steps forward, you know?Because each front and back cover was a piece unto itself, I will be posting each front and back as its own respective piece.

![[Hazelthorn] People say there are a dozen or more kinds of love. Evander knows there are millions. There is love in every growing thing, in every fleck of grit in the earth that moves aside for teething roots, in every unfurling leaf that reaches to kiss the sun. He feels love in every drop of blood that Laurie offers, and also in each of his sighs, his frowns. Evander knows love in multitudinous ways. They are innumerable and yet coalesced into One the way many plants tangle to make a garden. Laurie is his. One, which he will keep forever.(aka these boys and their many love languages)Iām excited to show this very fun dual-painting of Evander and Laurie from Hazelthorn by @paperfury . Easily one of my favorite books, and I canāt seem to stop painting them.
