Oh heyy~ it's #DisabilityPrideMonth ✨ 🥰
Hi, I'm a freelance illustrator who's also born deaf. I was fully raised in the hearing world w/o sign language. I use 2 cochlear implants. With them, I'm hard of hearing and still face barriers in everyday life.
As an illustrator I'm privileged to be able to do this job from home, almost all communication via email & minimal reliance on spoken language. I've always loved drawing so this was always my dream profession.
An interpretation of the Japanese sun goddess Amaterasu, sitting and playing an ancient lute. She has long bright yellow hair that radiates out from her like sun rays. An amulet or mirror around her neck radiates even more rays.
King Arthur sits on the ground next to a mossy rock, proudly thrusting the sword Excalibur up into the air, suggesting that he's just drawn it out from the stone. It has a magical blue glow. In the background, some people cheer his success, while a few others seem miffed about it.
A young woman in 15th century inspired black plate armor, looking wistfully and holding a longsword that has a magical golden light emanating from it. Behind her is a rich colorful tapestry with late Medieval motifs that's interwoven with gold thread.
