Hi there! I’m Olivia—a bookish designer and illustrator who’s been sharing my artwork online since the golden Tumblr days (circa 2011/2012… or maybe even earlier on DeviantArt—yes, I’m a millennial). Here’s some of my artwork from the past year:
Over the years, I’ve tried just about every platform, but I’ve been craving a more central, customizable space for everything I share online.
Enter: Substack.
I want to create this space for readers, artists, and creatives who are as passionate about stories and art as I am. Here’s what you can expect:
A behind-the-scenes access to my work and updates from my art shop.
Books and stories recommendations.
Tips and advice for making better art.
Insights on starting and growing a creative business.
My goal is to create a space where we can connect, learn, and grow together. Whether you’re here for the stories, the art, or some creative inspiration, I hope you’ll stick around and find something meaningful to take away!
Now let’s get started…
Currently Reading
This is the second book in the Secrets of the Nile duology, it takes place in 1890’s Egypt and follows a young woman named Inez Olivera as she travels to Egypt after receiving news of her parents’ untimely deaths. Marketed as having similar vibes as The Mummy, with magic, adventure, and rivals-to-lovers romance, and I would say this scratches that itch if you’re looking for a similar story.
I will be sharing my top 5 favorite books of 2024 (with art!) soon!
Currently Listening
To say I’m obsessed with this song is an understatement! The most underrated song on TTPD, it’s the main song that’s stayed with me off this album, and was my number 2 song of the year on my Spotify Wrapped.
New to the shop!
Aelin Ashryver Galathynius Matte Mirror Sticker - I’ve been sitting on this artwork of Aelin for basically a year but never got around to making it a sticker, but today IS that day. It has my favorite mirror effect on the armor and came out super cute!
Late Night Book Club Kindle Charms - Kindle charms have entered the chat! I’ve noticed Kindle charms rising on my feeds, and wanted to try my hand at making one. I only made 8 of these as a test run. If you like it and want me to make more, let me know!
Till next time!
I LOVE your Nico DiAngelo piece!
