Time for a new #PortfolioDay post!

I'm Fictograph, award-recognized speculative fiction illustrator and short fiction writer: www.gracepfong.com/short-fiction

My work's been on Tor.com, Magic: the Gathering, Shadowrun, or Uncanny, and I also do video game narrative design on CDPR's Orion.

A watercolor illustration of a woman putting her hand in the mouth of a fiery red bear, cover art for Uncanny Magazine and the short fiction story "We Do Not Eat Much Fish".

A digital painting of a princess and her lady knight.

A digital painting of a harpy woman, for Strange Horizon's short story "Tower of Ivory, Tower of Horn."

A watercolor piece featuring two girls, a rifle, and a cow skull. Inspired by a fictional, speculative Wild West.

I see pieces like this a lot, often w/ a spin of lamenting cultural degeneration, but reading is a LABOR issue, it’s declined because so many people are working overtime or two jobs & employers expect after hours work. France has Earth’s highest reading rate b/c long lunch breaks & labor protections

Making last minute stickers for LA Comic Con. I think this one has great potential

A sticker on CSP of an achievement badge with “I made a blender donut” written on it in comic sans. The background of the badge is an image of a donut I made in the program blender

Totally agree. I feel with generations having grown up now with animation aimed at olders audiences (like anime and things like lovedeathrobots), it is an untapped creative area.

(also - hi Jason!)

So I went to a famous ruin bar in Budapest and bought some CDs out of their vending machine which is just recordings from all the bands that did live shows there. And it was awesome.
