I joined a charity zine in December ’25 called Polar Lights. It’s focused on Arctic and Antarctic life, and participants can submit written and visual works based on an appropriate animal.
Someone wrote a very cool piece about Spotted Seals, and last minute asked if anyone in the group would be able to create some spot pieces for their story.
Spot pieces are small works of art that accompany text. They’re placed on the pages with the text, rather than being a separate illustration on a separate page.
I whipped these up and submitted them for consideration. I adore seals and sea lions so this was very fun for me! These pieces actually haven’t been officially accepted yet… but I think they’ll be appreciated!
Polar Lights will be published in April, and you’ll be able to see my full art piece I made for it, in addition to my spot pieces!
You can find past issues [here] and the Tumblr post [here], though you’ll need an account for the latter.
