I did a cover redesign earlier this year for Keeper by the wonderful @kimwritesbooks. It was a privilege to beta read for her and watch this project turn from manuscript to reality. The inspiration for this book cover was taken from old fairytale books or even an old grimoire... Congratulations and thank you, Kim, for such a lovely read! #bookcoverdesign #graphicdesign #design #coverart #bookcover #gold #fairytale #fantasy #ya #keeper #kimchance #girlboss #writersofinsta #writersofig #writergram #wordsmith #writergirl #authorgram #khazimmermann https://www.instagram.com/p/Bngy07fhI9X/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1sxqrbszdbtt8

Ireland's green meadows are so vibrant, they seem to carry so much life. And if I'm honest, my grandmother's garden is the most stunning garden I've ever seen in my life. I miss Ireland so much already. #ireland #green #nature #beautifulgarden #garden #flowers #view #wexford #inspiring #colourfulnature #writingcomunity #amwriting #khazimmermann

I was in Dublin and took quite a few photos! And I'm going to share them because I've fallen in love with this city so much. #dublin #ireland #city #oldbuilding #architecture #touristphoto #visiting #writing #amwriting #khazimmermann

I did an illustration accompanying my current fashion project! I'm working on Basquiat meets Modigliani two completely opposite artists, meeting up in a collection. So I painted this portrait to get accustomed to their style and also pay a tiny tribute! #basquiat #modigliani #art #painting #acrylic #portrait #color #abstraction #writingcommunity #spilledink #igwriters #writersofig #lgbt #gay #khazimmermann https://www.instagram.com/p/BqLfEKllR-9/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=16e6nimk67aiv

#inktober second entry is tranquil! Does it still count even though it's passed midnight? I didn't take into account the time it took for the ink to dry before scanning it! . The poem I illustrated this week is by my awesome friend @distancemeansolittle . It felt like a personification for night was fitting. Instead of the terrifying figure she's usually represented as, I imagined her as a motherly figure, in a nightgown and hot chocolate, accompanying the world as it goes off to sleep! . Welp! I'm not great shakes at drawing water it seems! Or maybe I wasn't patient enough with it! But I'm kinda proud of the gauzy nightgown! . . #inktober #inktober2018 #tranquil #personification #ink #chinaink #poetry #spilledink #illustration #inkillustration #dark #poetsofinstagram #writingcommunity #graphicdesign #nighttime #night #practicenotmagic #queenofthenight #water #khazimmermann https://www.instagram.com/p/BocnzX2FDa_/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1rgs02g3gj7e5

"Sous le pont de Bercy Un philosophe assis Deux musiciens quelques badauds Puis les gens par milliers" Edith Piaf - Sous le Ciel de Paris Don't ask me how, when, or why, but I have recently been listening to Edith Piaf way too much for it to be considered normal! And I used to loathe her voice when I was little! But her voice is fun, and it makes me happy... Any singers you are obsessed with at the moment? #song #inspiration #edithpiaf #piaf #haussmann #paris #skies #instaart #writersofig #spilledink #amwriting #writingcommunity #khazimmermann https://www.instagram.com/p/BnDy3bbBI6W/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=19ijjg4onp6ap

So I dug up this photo I took centuries ago because I felt like I was letting my Instagram go to misery! But my hair was black so it looks consistent, right? Anywho, I need to become better at posting, I know! Any tips? Other than that, I hope that you guys are going swell? #blackandwhite #blacknails #wethair #wet #portrait #darkeyes #bnw #blackandwhitephotography #monochrome #instarain #gloomy #splash #portraitphotography #lgbt #gayboy #gay #instaart #writersofig #spilledink #igpoets #amwriting #writingcommunity #khazimmermann

I went a smidge crazy with the fake rhinestones the other week. I know right! Shocking that they're fake! So it's now on my feed! Anybody else like decadent glittering scenes? By the way, to all the bookish people out there; do you know any books that play around the idea of decadence, other than The Picture of Dorian Gray? I really want to read a book about that these days. #doriangray #decadence #malemakeup #mua #freckles #blackandwhite #portrait #selfportrait #diamond #rhinestones #oscarwilde #writingcommunity #amwriting #lgbt #gay #gayboy #khazimmermann

#inktober day four! I illustrated this amazing poem by Silvia Plath! A Cheshire cat doffing his hat seemed very appropriate. . And it's my first try at pointillism; so many dots... But it was worth it! . #inktober #inktober2018 #spell #ink #chinaink #poetry #spilledink #illustration #inkillustration #cslewis #aliceinwonderland #poetsofinstagram #writingcommunity #graphicdesign #wonderland #cheshirecat #tophat #pointillism #silviaplath #practicenotmagic #khazimmermann https://www.instagram.com/p/BogjL2AFSAZ/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=b4ka0go35s72

Throwback to a starlight inspired #photoshoot with @apon_yme I mean you've captured most of the photos of my face on my Instagram, but we still haven't been in a picture together!

Ever need reality to come slap some sense into you and beat down your ego into the dust? Welp! I found a great way! Take drawing reference photos in middle of the night after a really long day! Works wonders... . The black and white filter is helping me big time! Very big time! Blue under-eyes and unhappy skin vanishes completely! And I got to hug a pillow for my references, so it's a win right? See tomorrow's drawing for the answer as to why! . #drawingreference #blackandwhite #imperfect #filter #freckles #bnwmood #bnwphotography #nightphoto #darkphotography #writingadvice #Parisian #portraitphotography #lgbt #gayboy #gay #instaart #writersofig #spilledink #igpoets #amwriting #writingcomunity #khazimmermann https://www.instagram.com/p/BokYPa7FYtY/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=bcdih6jtb1uh

#inktober day three is roasting! And I was slightly uninspired today so I inked a bonfire. But I do love this poem by Emily Dickinson, especially the allegory about folding a flood in a drawer. But my test sketches weren't very good when it came to illustrating that image! . I had fun working with opposite colours. And then setting it in opposites with Photoshop. I felt that gave the transparency of the flames a truthful aspect! The original drawing is next! . #inktober #inktober2018 #roasting #fire #ink #chinaink #poetry #spilledink #illustration #inkillustration #dark #poetsofinstagram #writingcommunity #graphicdesign #nighttime #night #emilydickinson #practicenotmagic #bonfire #inversecolours #khazimmermann https://www.instagram.com/p/BoeiuxylLdU/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=byi14i7aq7sg
