A lot of people chuckle at that one when I go to in person events!

Little fragments of story, magic, and ink...These are the pieces you loved most, not just because they're beautiful, but because they resonate with you.

Thank you for making space for this kind of magic✨

Out of everything I’ve created, these are the ones that made me smile the most whether it was during a late-night drawing sesh, a chaotic sketch dump, or the first time I saw someone else fall in love with them too.
They’re quirky. They’re useful. They’re a little unexpected...
And they’re very me 😌

For those who read by candlelight🕯️📚 and keep strange company between the pages...

Each bookmark is double sided with its own quiet charm. Made for stories with teeth, spells, sorrow and shadow.

Which one will you claim?

I think this one is my favorite iterations of my book stack bookmarks 📚 Not only am I obsessed with the lighting, but I love the various book titles included that are perfect for an autumn TBR list! 📃 I had so much fun coming up with this two-sided bookmark design for my part of the cozy boo box 🖤

Daystar Illustration @daystarillust.bsky.social · Sep 9

I'm excited to share a closer look at my art print, which was part of the Cozy Boo Box collaboration with some amazing fellow bookish businesses. 🍂 📚🕯This project felt like the perfect way to show my love for the season, reading and all things fantastical.
The Cozy Boo Box, there will be in my bio

UPDATED POST ❤️🎉

I realize not many people have Kindle Unlimited, so I put the eBook version of Beyond The Mark down to the lowest I could on Amazon, which is $0.99

Hope this helps it become more accessible, I'd rather continue the story than make money, so I hope you enjoy!

#Fantasy #Author

A stylized cover art for the book titled "Beyond the Mark: Ashes of the Hero," featuring a silhouette of a cloaked figure in a dark, magical forest. The figure, shrouded in shadow, is holding a glowing sword with a vibrant red hue. Intricate patterns adorn the figure's cloak, evoking a sense of mystery and fantasy. The background showcases an eerie forest with bare, twisted trees and ethereal lights, creating a mystical and foreboding atmosphere. In the distance, a castle with spires looms against a pale, glowing sky, adding a sense of adventure and danger to the scene. The title is prominently displayed at the top in bold, stylized lettering, with a vivid gradient effect that contrasts with the darker tones of the artwork. The overall composition conveys themes of heroism, darkness, and a journey into the unknown.
