I’m absolutely excited to finally show this illustration inspired by The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue, commissioned by V.E. Schwab as a bonus print with every ticket purchase for her upcoming virtual
tour in October 2020! I usually take the time to deep dive into these pieces;
to explain the symbolisms and inspirations and hidden meanings - but I
approached this illustration as how one would approach cutting a movie
trailer. To tease your curiosity with its emotions and capture your
attention with its mystery, and hope that as you read it, the story
behind this illustration begins to unfold with the book.
⭐⭐
I hope
everyone reading it for the first time can really take the time to
absorb it - it’s such a heavy-hearted, slow-burning, and wonderfully
atmospheric book. Since I did not have an audiobook version (which I’m
STOKED to re-experience when its released), I could only read a little
bit at a time on my daily dog walks. But it gave me the time to sink
into each segment, and feel a similar stretch of time as Addie was
experiencing through her 300 years.
⭐⭐⭐
Thank you so much, once again, to V.E Schwab and Tor Books for this wonderful opportunity! I’m excited for it to finally be
released to you all, and super stoked to have been one of the many
artists in these campaign events who contributed what I would consider a
‘review’ with our artwork. It’s something I’ve always thought would be
improbable to review an ARC through art in lieu of written reviews.
My problem is less with the language and more with the possibility they are overfeeding their animals
love the fact tumblr has no awareness for obese animals not being healthy at all and allowing an animal to be Like That is straight up abuse lmao
*sigh* all you had to do was scroll up a little and all this rage could have been avoided
Lmao imagine thinking an organization as reputable and pro conservation as Monterey Bay Aquarium would overfeed their animals
Lmao imagine thinking that all animals that have fat on them are obese, overweight and unhealthy rather than some animals just being like that i.e. walruses, seals, etc. because they have to be fat and have blubber because it protects them from the harsh and freezing environments that they live in.
legit i’ve seen this many times before but this time it made me smile
This is the dream.
is it too much to ask to have this? is it?
Even reblogs are good! You don’t need to go out of your way to make cool things for us (Though they are EXTREMELY appreciated), one little reblog goes a long way :)
