Hey hey #PortfolioDay! I'm Bethany, an illustrator, graphic designer, and cartoonist. I love drawing fantastical nature scenes and looooong hair. I'd love to work on comic or book covers!

A woman with long wavy hair swirling around her. Flowers and leaf stems are woven in her hair.

A woman in a dress sitting with clouds behind her.

Illustration of a woman with long, swirling hair. She has three pairs of angel wings of different sizes, and three other small pairs of wings coming out from the sides of her head. She has a halo of glowing stars surrounding her head, and is holding a white, glowing scepter.

A page from my comic The Talisman of Halios. There's no dialogue. Panel 1: Kyrian helps Reya walk down a hill with Elana floating behind them. Panel 2: Kyrian and Reya hop on rocks across a creek. Panel 3–4: Kyrian and Reya are talking together, and laugh.

Listen, she’s a pretty good art assistant, but nobody’s perfect. 🤷‍♀️

I sure hope I don’t ever have an actual burglar break into my apartment in the middle of the night, because I assume any loud thumps I hear when trying to sleep is just my cat.

Second place goes to whenever there's a Nintendo Direct or any gaming announcements.

There's nothing that makes me go more "are ya winning, son?" than when half of my timeline is yelling about sports.

The wingless Sphinx hasn’t notice you…yet. So you still have time to prepare for her riddles

Man, every time I see her on screen I feel like I’m getting smacked in the face, but like in a good way.

David Simon, creator of ‘The Wire’, being interviewed by Ari Shapiro (NPR)

SHAPIRO: OK, so you've spent your career creating television without Al, and I could imagine today you thinking, boy, I wish I had had that tool to solve those thorny problems...
SIMON: What?
SHAPIRO: ...Or saying...
SIMON: You imagine that?
SHAPIRO: ...Boy, if that had existed, it would have screwed me over.
SIMON: I don't think Al can remotely challenge what writers do at a fundamentally creative level.
SHAPIRO: But if you're trying to transition from scene five to scene six, and you're stuck with that transition, you could imagine plugging that portion of the script into an Al and say, give me 10 ideas for how to transition this.
SIMON: I'd rather put a gun in my mouth.

Boy, having a headache all day sure makes you sleepy AND unable to get much done. A wonderful combo.

I watched Dawn of the Dead the other night and just kept thinking, ‘Mm, but there ain’t no way that mall would’ve had enough fresh food to last that long. All that produce would’ve just been sludge by the time these people even arrived. And who’s been taking care of all those plants? The zombies?”

Earlier this year, Dr. Jane Goodall sat down for an interview for Brad Falchuk’s new Netflix series, Famous Last Words.

The premise of the series is to interview people on the condition that the interview not air until the subject has passed away.

I'm sorry: "if I wish to see a virgin on-screen"?

My Favorite Actress Is Not Human
Tilly Norwood doesn’t need a hairstylist, has no regrettable posts, and if you wish to see a virgin on-screen, this is one of your better chances. That’s because she’s AI.

I honestly can’t understand how someone could write something like that and not have a moment of clarity of what an incredibly sad person they are.

Early autumn in Texas is awkward and sucks because when you're outside in the shade it feels pretty nice, but then as soon as you step out into the sun it's like, "AAGHHH IT BURNNSSS".
