I’m sort of lagging behind posting about book cover releases in stores aahhh, I would be an awful influencer haha. I found “Hunters of Dune” in the wild! Little Erasmus doesn’t look too bad on the shelf \o/ I included a clip of me being a hooligan in store…It’s in US stores now! Some people have asked about release locations, I saw options for UK purchase online but I don’t think it’s on physical shelves outside of the US right now~ . . . #dune #scifibooks #bookcoverart #duneart taken in San Francisco, California by @pochipop

📸: @ooohkehn Lol it looks like I have no arms! I always love hunching poses, but they never look all that great when I try to “artfully” hunch, I just end up looking like I need a chiropractor lol. by @pochipop

Ode to my favourite dragon boy~ I will always have a soft spot for Studio Ghibli work. Fun fact- I performed in the choir with Joe Hisaishi (the primary composer for Ghibli films) for his first set of concerts in North America several years ago! It was such a life changing experience getting to work with him, his team, and fellow choir folks! Scroll for some fun photos~ I was finishing the last year of my masters, so my professors were nice enough to extend some deadlines in consideration of how draining it was driving to practice and doing the actual performances xD This print will be available at lightbox expo! taken in San Francisco, California by @pochipop

Thank you @micaelaalcainodesign for the opportunity to showcase work as a newbie artist. \o/ I think it’s been a bit over a year since I’ve started working on publishing projects. I haven’t finished enough officially released book covers to completely finish off a grid but we’ll get there! Eternally grateful to the ADs and authors that have given me these amazing opportunities to represent all of these beautiful stories~ Credit to the lovely ADs: Dune series- Russell Trakhtenberg Deathly Fates - @kerriresnick All We Hunger For - @luguardio Waking The Warriors - @jessie.books The Heavens We Defy - @juliatylerart . . #bookcovers #scififantasy #romantasybooks #bookarts by @pochipop

Thinking back on my obsession with war novels as a kid…I find it interesting that how I feel about the relationship between humanity and war has in some ways evolved a whole lot and in some ways remained steadfast. On a side note, drawing the bird’s nest gave me an aneurysm…never doing that again!!!!!! 🪺 . . . #beautifulbizarre #peacedove #bookartist #warzone #editorialart taken in San Francisco, California by @pochipop

I get a lot of compliments on the Deathly Fates cover, and it's all thanks to the talented designer @kerriresnick and artist @pochipop. As a debut author, I was nervous (and excited) about my first ever cover, but their vision and execution quickly put those nerves to bed. I'm forever grateful to be working with such gifted humans! And if you've ever wondered how the final cover came to be, swipe to see more! 😊 #debutauthor #bookcover #deathlyfates by @pochipop

This is your daily posture check featuring a wailing shrimp. This sticker design will be available at Lightbox! I panicked and finished 9 designs over 2 weeks…I guess I’ll just sporadically post them since they’re just floating around in my iPad x_X . . . #shrimp #foodart #cutestationery #popartstyle #lightboxexpo by @pochipop

Scroll to the end for Polyphemus fanart 👁️🧀🐏 Growing up, The Odyssey was definitely one of the most challenging pieces of literature for me, but I adored how messed up everyone in the story was LOL. Honestly, the original Odysseus (true to the spirit of Greek mythology in general) was a hilariously arrogant hero ahahaha. As someone that loved the original epic, watching Nolan’s reinterpretation of Odysseus’s journey was really fun and interesting! I enjoyed the fact that he completely rewrote Odysseus’ character into a man drowning in grief (clearly I took that theme pretty literally hahahaha) . . . #theodyssey #odysseus #christophernolan #movieposter #beautifulbizarre by @pochipop

Witch Hat Atelier! Qifrey is unsurprisingly my favourite…I mean come on I only have to draw one eye lol~ This print will be available at LightBox Expo this year ^_^ Finishing this was pretty painful because I prefer looking at character fanart than drawing it lol (if it isn’t already obvious by my overt avoidance of drawing faces x_x). . . . #witchhatatelier #qifrey #lightboxexpo #beautifulbizarre #fantasyillustration by @pochipop
