Jasmine W. @mythjae.bsky.social · Oct 14

Hi, I'm Jasmine Walls, an award-winning writer, editor, sometimes artist, and hot chocolate connoisseur. My work is unapologetically queer, inclusive, and heartfelt.

For my full portfolio: www.jasminewalls.com

I'm open for writing work, ready with original pitches, and viciously anti-AI.

The cover of BROOMS, a witchy southern graphic novel with an entirely BIPOC cast. Written by Jasmine Walls, Illustrated by Teo DuVall, with colors by Bex Glendining, and lettering by Ariana Maher.

The cover of 'The Last Session Volume 1, Roll For Initiative' graphic novel showing a group of D&D players and their respective in-game characters. Art by Dozerdraws, written by Jasmine Walls, and letterer by Micah Myers.

The cover of Vixen: NYC, drawn by Vasco Georgiev, showing a young Black woman in a cropped orange cardigan and high waisted blue panets with her hair half down and straightened, and half in braids. SHe is surrounded by ghostly glowing animal spirits, incliding a racoon, tiger, dog, eagle, an monkey on her shoulder, and a snake wrapped around her like a friend. She is gazing around a night-time New York City street in wonder.
Written by Jasmine Walls, Inks by Manou Azumi, Backgrounds by Toby Fan, Flats by Hailey Stewart, Renders by BBM, Letters by Micah Myers

The cover of MIDST: The Valorous Farmer, drawn by Will Kirkby. It shows two hands in torn up gloves and a pale face reflected in a broken rearview mirror, with dark hair and green eyes. A broken chain hangs from the mirror and nearby is a brass locket with a green floral design. There is rubble and smashed metal all around, making it clear this was a crashed vehicle.

The comic was written by me (Jasmine Walls), Illustrated by Aviv Or, with colors by Quinton Winter, and letters by Jim Campbell.

my hands are shaking with rage and grief. i shouldn't have to do this. the edited text on this image should not exist. this should not still be happening in 2025

a panel from my entry in Samidoon. it is sepia tone of a palestinan family walking. the caption reads "in 2024, the images from inside Gaza echo my family's storie from Palestine. the walk away from our tattered homes looks the same as 50 years ago." the 2024 is crossed out witht 2025 written next to it. my hands are shaking with rage and grief as i type

I like being the bearer of good news. Today Louay's daughter Malak, which means Angel in English, was born. She is a symbol of Palestinian resistance & joy, but she is also a newborn in need of everything. So donate, share, do not let this sweet angel down.

A young Palestinian girl sitting beside the newborn Malak, a teeny thing inside a white blanket. More beautiful than anything.

💀The Ghostly Galliard💀

An illustration of two lesbian ghosts dancing. The left hand ghost wears a 1760s silk sack gown, the right hand wears an early 1500s style gown with puffed sleeves and a short cape with feathered beret. They are both blue and translucent.

They are in a heavily wooded and overgrown graveyard, a lone candle burning with a blue flame sits on top of a slab grave beneath them.

The illustrated border shows as follows: On top, clasping carved stone hands emerging from yew branches with berries. To the sides: tin lanterns with candles burning, carved stone hourglasses & carved stone broken columns. Beneath: Vaults based upon the Circle of Lebanon at Highgate Cemetery flanked by trees.

The cover for The Traitor & the Wretch (by Jasmine walls and Rowan MacColl) drawn by Amy Phillips. A black and white illustration, done in a charcoal-like grey scale style showing Percy, a rough mercenary looking man with short black hair, a scarred face, and a dagger in hand, surrounded by stylized knives. The bottom half show Knell, a greasy, ragged, and malnourished man surrounded by chains and decaying skeletons.
