About

Hello hello! Welcome to my little space on the internet. My name is Talia (she/they), your resident artist here! I also go by Phoenix online as well so use whichever you were introduced to me by originally. I'm an illustrtor, photographer, and print maker. I graduated from an Art and Art History specialist program mid 2023 and am now working freelance along with a seperate gallery job.

I am likely working on a lot of new illustrations or designs in general but most of this work, if not for myself/my own shop, is usually for Fanzines! This means that until the actual zine is released to the public and the team gets an okay from the mods then we are to keep the final illustrations and works to ourselves. I have been trying my best to post more often however and you can (if not here), find these works in the link above titled "My Carrd".

I was primarily inspired by anime growing up but have switched to a style that tries its best to combine anime and realistic elements. I also take a lot of inspiration from gothic and fantasy literature and artwork (most noticeably Fransico Goya but someone recently compared my work to Junji Ito at convention as well which made me extatic haha). I can do finished Illustrations, merch designs, cover designs (for books or band albums),and character art.

If you have any questions please feel free to reach out via DM's on my socials for the most part. Or my zine email address which is cottencandydweeb@gmail.com .
