The battlefield 🗡

This illustration took longer than I hoped, and in a lot of ways it changed since the beginning, but I’m really happy with it in the end ☺️ What type of potion do you think she’s brewing? ✨✨

A sneak peak of this illustration I definitely spent way too long working on 😅

This has been a really rough few days. I recently learned of a controversy around our book THE PRINCESS IN BLACK AND THE PRINCE IN PINK. Some were outraged that Deseret Book carried it (a chain of bookstores in the west). Deseret Book appears to have complied to their demands and removed it. 1/

That’s me!!!!

I’ve been on a pokemon kick so here’s a little Jirachi sketch! #pokemon #jirachi #pokemonfanart

I’ve been really inspired by #dungeonmeshi lately and am working on an illustration for it! 🐓 🔥 ❤️

Sometimes I forget how fun lettering is!! #kidlit #lettering

Wishing everyone a Happy New Year 🥳✨✨

I don’t have enough art for #artvsartist2024 because I was in my ̶d̶e̶p̶r̶e̶s̶s̶e̶d̶ ̶ ✨renaissance✨ era (I only made one drawing every 6 months)

Another photo I took! Very happy with this one!

I love photography as a hobby, I just wanted to share some photos I took recently!!!!

Art vs artist 🎨 🌈 ✨ #KidLitArt

My friend is phone banking for the dems and it’s kinda depressing that they know ALOT of people want a ceasefire and it’s important to them for voting but the dems official response is to ignore it lol

Art vs artist 🎨 🌈 ✨ #KidLitArt

Messing around in my sketchbook always reminds me how much I love this whole drawing thing. Too bad my sketchbook is the first thing I toss aside when it gets busy. #kidlit

Reminder for myself that not everything needs to become a product and art can just exist because it just brings me joy to create ✨️

Hi does anyone reccomend any artists who are selling bluey fanart?

I cant stop thinking about how Dutch customs asked me where I was going in the Netherlands and I said Den Bosch and the guy made a stink face and said “Why there???????” LOL

Tomorrow, Oct 14 12pm PST, I’ll reopen my shop to list signed copies of The Ofrenda That We Built, along with mini originals, prints, stickers and more! Bookmark: Shopgabbyzapata.com 🌼🧡🌼🧡🌼🧡🌼🧡🌼

I’m so excited for October 🎃 👻 ✨

Every drawing I’ve made of me and my boyfriend (so far) <3333
