Description I didn't have time to paint anything New-Year-themed, so instead I'll show you the cover I painted for the book "Valkyrie" by Kate O'Hearn, published by Aladdin Books, Simon & Schuster. It will be available starting February 2, 2016!

Freya is dreading her upcoming birthday when she’ll officially have to take up her duties as a Valkyrie. She doesn’t want to follow in the footsteps of the legends before her—legends including her mother and sisters. And she certainly doesn’t want anything to do with humans!



Happy 2016, everyone! Let's make it a good one!

Ah! So pretty! When I first bought the book I kept on looking at the art, marvelling over it! And now I know who did it! Amazing job! I really like it!

By the way, read this book, it is REALLY good. Trust me.

Love your Rainbow Bridge - auroras seem particularly appropriate for a Northern myth!

Very nice! Why black wings (maybe white ones could work better)?

Because it's a book cover? The character in the book has black wings.
