Hey friendos,
Looking for an illustrator to do a cover image for the book I have been working on, paid of course. I have done several passes and am looking to get it uploaded, but I don't have the ability to do what I am looking for, and would sooner be caught dead using GenAI.
Please reach out!

It's been a while since I've posted. This year has been crazy and I'm in the middle of a month of working almost straight through between my jobs. Yesterday my body told me it needed a break so today I stayed home to rest. Hopefully you are all listening to your bodies as well.
