FYI- I co-created Azza the Barbed! She's our baby! I'm not "just the artist," as someone pointed out at my last show lol.

I’m immensely enjoying Daemons of the Shadow Realm (Yumi no Tsugai)!

I just backed AKREON - Artbook by Anna Podedworna on @kickstarter.com www.kickstarter.com/projects/spi...

Had a wonderful show DeCAF (Denver Comics and Arts Festival) yesterday! Thank you everyone who stopped by. I sold out of Harpy of the West comics and almost sold out of Azza the Barbed 🥰

An illustrated Tifa as a gift to someone. Hope you enjoy as much as they did! #Tifa #illustration #artist

Come buy some books this Saturday! 💙💙

I illustrated a spicy bookmark for this! >:)

I’m begging men to stop quizzing me when I wear band or video game T-shirts. 🙏🏼

Just got back from a little break in Florida visiting family. I have so much to catch up on! In the meantime, enjoy the blood tears I wore to a Florence + The Machine concert

I'm Rio Burton, a reward-winning freelance illustrator and comic artist living in Colorado. I love working on dark fantasy, horror, and wolves! I'm tied up for interior comic work, but I am interested in cover work starting mid-May. rioburtonillustration.com #PortfolioDay #portfolio #artist

Amazing news!!! Well deserved 💙💙

Lots of inking today

I love messy lines. Kinda hard to concentrate on drawing and keeping the phone still lol.

Nothing like working on a cover all day with my own hands and brain, then logging into socials to see people bragging about an ai cover. 😒

The metal covers have arrived for Kickstarter backers, and they look great! Thank you @rioburton.bsky.social and Claudia Ianniciello www.kickstarter.com/projects/mho...

Older moon piece. I think this one was done in 2019. #moon #cat #artist #illustration

Restocking prints for a store and it’s kinda funny having the NASA live feed in the background while working on moon prints.

Did you miss out on the Witching Season Kickstarter? Good new! You can still get a copy as an add on in our Hallowed Ground campaign, happening RIGHT NOW! www.kickstarter.com/projects/dea...

As we're just after payday a reminder that it would really help us to ensure @brokenfrontier.bsky.social's future if you set up a monthly £1 donation to our Ko-fi. Especially now that I've taken on all the running costs for @smallpressday.bsky.social too. Thank you! ko-fi.com/andyoliver70...

Working with @spacebetweenent.bsky.social is always a pleasure 💙

It is such an amazing feeling selling an original piece, especially around my birthday! I don't know if people realize just how much it makes a difference for small businesses. I'm so thankful. <3

I just added some gouache originals and prints to my shop! www.etsy.com/shop/RioBurton

Can I get some shares for my birthday? 🥰 Hello! I’m Rio, an award winning comic and fantasy artist in Colorado. I love the dark and whimsical. Wolves are the coolest. I have a wolf themed oracle deck called The Wolves Within available in my Etsy shop. rioburton.carrd.co

Which one do you prefer? 1st or 2nd?

Some people have plane tickets added to this too! This is partially why I don’t travel to cons like I used to.

Hello Darkness #19 is out today from @boom-studios.com ! Along with my story GUNMETAL GHOST about a grandma with dementia living through a zombie robot apocalypse. How sad can you make a story in 8 pages? Yes 👵🥹♥️

There's AI, and war, and climate disaster, and human rights being stripped away, and we are expected to carry on as normal, and I have to update my LinkedIn because I applied for a job I would love with a publisher, but it's weird over there, and...

My comic is being mean to me. #indiecomics #makingcomics
