📌Pinned post!📌

Hi there, I'm Katina! I'm a nerdy elder millennial who works in the #TTRPG industry by day, and tinkers with freelance writing and art by night. 🏳️‍🌈I'm queer, neurodivergent, and full of stupid puns.

Here are all the places you can find me on the internet: katinadavis.carrd.co

A medium close up of Katina looking into the camera. Her top is black with colorful outer space patterns on it, like stars, planets, and comets. Her curly brown hair hangs down to her shoulders, and her ears are adorned by gold dangly earrings with moon and star shapes. She wears an amethyst moon necklace and purple-framed glasses.

She's not anonymous (can't speak to her salary).

Her name is Camille Zapata

Trying to catch up with a few artworks that were released while I'm away. I've done quite a bit for them but here are three that I'm very happy with.
Huge thank you to @paizo.com for the chance to paint snapshots of your world, both for Pathfinder and Starfinder!

Yeah, both of these have been on my wishlist for a while so I figured I'd scoop 'em up. But you're right - the biggest hurdle is finding time to listen to them all!

You made it halfway through the week *and* we still have free shipping? Sounds like the perfect time to treat yourself to a new book and support indie bookstores in the process. 📚

Me: "I don't need any more audiobooks at the moment, I've got a small backlog to listen to."

The current @libro.fm sale: "...you sure about that?"

A screenshot from a Libro.fm order confirmation, which shows two purchased books. The first is "Babel" by R. F. Kuang with the original price of $47.24, discount of -$43.75, and a final price of $3.49. The second book is "Remarkably Bright Creatures" by Shelby Van Pelt, with an original price of $29.39, a discount of -$23.80, and a final price of $5.59.

twice a year the entire U.S. press becomes a marketing extension of a single billionaire-owned retailer, and nobody in any position of editorial power thinks it's weird or gross

It took a highly sophisticated Jacquard weave to create the incredibly detailed oranges that form the fabric of of this early 1890s dress. You can almost smell the citrusy peel. There so many details to observe here, the pattern matching, the cuff trim, the drama! #V&A #FashionHistory 🗃️🪡

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

Did you know? @bookshop.org is having an Anti-Prime Day sale wherein you can get free shipping for two days?

Did you know "Magica Riot" is available in print via @bookshop.org? And that you can support a local bookstore when buying?

Did you know I'd appreciate your purchase a bunch?
