I'm Sam, an enby illustrator on hiatus because of early motherhood.
I love whimsical fantasy art and children's illustration🖤✨🪐🌙

A witch girl with a mushroom hat and a little fluffy kitty familiar.

A white unicorn on a hill surrounded by brush. There's a white tree behind the creature all below a starry sky.

The Queen of Air and Darkness, the Arch fay of the Unseelie Court. An ominous figure constructed with wings and smoke.

A jolly little albino tiefling in a motley leotard and a mandolin in hand.

To those who watch the sky: can someone tell me what this is? I am very curious!

The center was bright, almost like the moon behind a cloud, with double tails as if spinning. Once it reached the mountains it faded away almost like a cloud breaking, then vanished from sight.

I have good news for those asking me about prints! I decided to open a shop through Inprnt to sell prints of my work. I have a decent array of prints to choose from so far but I'll gradually add more! Each one has a number of options too if there's a format you'd prefer to order yours in!

I'm super stressed right now so here's a recent favourite landscape from a few months ago again - Dunvegan in Alberta, Canada. This aerial embroidery took forever but was worth it 💚 the higher up perspective is more intricate and slower to sew I've found, more fiddly! #art

A large embroidery hoop lying on a stone slab. The hoop contains a sewn aerial view landscape of Dunvegan, Canada. A river cuts through the middle with a forest area to the south and agricultural fields and houses to the north.

Detail of "Midwinter Star" a personal watercolor of mine that may be in the #Changeling "Deck the Halls" auction next week.

Experience teaches that it's not smart to offer art that's too big to fit in a USPS Priority mailer, and yet I contemplate...

'You're adopted'

----------

(For the non-palaeo folks, this is in light of a newly published paper re-establishing that #Nanotyrannus, previously understood to be a juvenile #T.rex, is indeed its own genus after all.)

Single panel comic in sepia tones of a Tyrannosaurus addressing a Nanotyrannus with the words 'you're adopted,' to which the Nanotyrannus replies, 'WOW.'

High Tide 🌊 ✨ Hey guys I just finished this new painting in my ongoing series of paintings called ‘A Starry Place’ where I explore spaces that are meaningful and nostalgic to me. This piece is inspired by overcoming insurmountable challenges.
