Drawing in Los Angeles
Pinned
hi hello #portfolioday ! My name is Zoë.
I've worked for 10 years in editorial, publishing, advertising, video games, studio production, animation and TTRPGs. Lately it's been mostly books and cards. I like drawing everything, but especially light 🌥️

After MANY years of resisting ereaders, I finally caved and got a kobo so I could easily read while taking my elder dog on his snail paced walks where it takes us 30 minutes to go a quarter of a mile, and godtamn, they are great, I've read 12 books since the beginning of January.

Warehouses containing hundreds of sealed ROKO™ SpyderSafe® Personal Safety Systems were found several years after the events that led to the end.

There's evidence that many of them were used by their well-off buyers, but no one has been able to cut through the tungsten alloy bolts to check inside.

Some more shots of the cover and slipcase for this. Since STATION ELEVEN jumps back and forth over the course of twenty years, before/after, I wanted to bring that sense of lapsed time to the packaging. Folio told me they’ve never tried something like this before. I’m thrilled they took a chance!

Really excited to announce my second book for Folio Society. STATION ELEVEN came to me many years ago exactly when I needed it the most. A book about the endurance of art, about remembering and forgetting and about forgiveness, I was so honored that Folio asked me to illustrate it. Out on March 3rd!

Embarrassed of my alma mater *turns diploma away from computer so it doesn’t have to see this*

As with all of my passions, they are niche, so when I say I am obsessed with Olympic curling I expect none of you to care but my love of the big smooth stones is so great I must declare it for all to hear

The joy of Villa’s Tacos getting his time in the sun, because he is just a straight up good dude full of positive vibrations, is currently warring in my soul with the knowledge that this is gonna blow up my taco spot even more. :,) :,( :,)

The amount of cake being served by male ice skaters is unreal. Enough for an entire wedding. 10 tiers.

Job offer!!
I’m helping a PBS series look for a social media manager/content creator for an upcoming promotional campaign. The start date is ASAP, and a project timeline that currently goes to July.

This is for a series on American Muslim history, so candidates with cultural familiarity preferred!

writing a whole ass thread about how artists are the 'privileged elite' when 99% of us are on the cusp of financial ruin just gives away that you're fantasizing about effortlessly gaining a skillet and getting mad when you're reminded it's a fantasy

I'm not going to repost it because it's the dumbest thing I've ever read and I won't spread that disease, but as a person who grew up rural & poor, like, POOR, if you use poverty as a reason to advocate for using AI rather than attaining skill, you're an asshole.

That late 80s, early 90s OVA cyberpunk... That's the stuff.

The theme of this year’s ice dancing routines has to be the 90s? … lmao. lol, even.

Oh fuck yeah it's time for my two great winter Olympic loves: ice skating and curling. The beauty and the beast. The princess and the...game that can probably be played while drunk.
