I did this for 3 and a half months and it was genuinely transformative, but I need to take a break cause I don’t wanna look my subconscious in the eye anymore 👁️

Cover #5, and the final cover to Jeff Wheeler's Harbinger series in french 🔥

I’m currently moving from drawing on a iPad to drawing on a Cintiq, it feels more significant and existential than turning 30 did.

my brain rn but it can only handle two things at a time

As a brooding young teen I was all “ewww blonde bubbly popstars are the WORST with their pink princess bullshit”

Now as an adult goth woman I’m like “I would protect the princess Sabrina Carpenter with my life”

task complete - sing karaoke

the best way i can summarize coloring advice is: fuck around and find out

Type display that contains white text over a black background. The center reads "Rose-Tinted" in italics and includes a pixelated rose. The bottom reads that this is a pixel type family with 210+ glyphs per variant. Also included is my portfolio website (https://www.wendymurphy.online/), and my handle @wendyleftmealone.

Type display with a pink background, inspired by the Windows95 interface. The window reads: Rose-Tinted is a pixel-based type family. It’s inspired by retro games such as Super Mario 64 and The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening, which approached pixel typography with the appearance of italics to add personality. While many have experimented with pixel type over the years, there’s a unique challenge that comes with developing a type language that also accounts for bold, italic, and bold italic variants while respecting the limitations of the grid system. Rose-Tinted includes the following for each variant: • Uppercase Letters • Lowercase Letters • Numerals • Ligatures (Standard and Discretionary) • Symbols (Punctuation, Formulas, etc.) • Accent Marks (Uppercase and Lowercase)

Type display with a pixelated Queen of Hearts card over a pink background. The type reads "Queen of Hearts" in the 'Rose-Tinted' font (Bold Italics).

Out now! My project ‘Rose-Tinted’ is a pixel-based typeface (x-height: 6px, cap height: 9px), that accounts for Regular, Italic, Bold, and Bold Italic variants.

I hope you enjoy!

I’ve been writing in a journal every morning for two weeks, and wow the emotional mess that comes out of the subconscious onto the page is actually fucked up why did no one warn me

Thank you! 🩷 I absolutely agree

To celebrate their 10th birthday The Woodworkers Bar in Belfast commissioned me to create some new glassware! The designs were inspired by their floral table pieces, & their patrons usual activities in the bar (chats, games, music, and often first dates!) 🍻💘

I really enjoy seeing Super Sonic every time I go for a silly little mental health walk ✨🦔 (and concern for the pupil-less snail)

My take on a poster for the Tank Girl movie 💣💥 Commissioned by Queen’s Film Theatre & The Naughton Gallery as part of their SCREEN/PRINT series. Was a treat to watch it on the original 35mm! #illustration #illustrator #tankgirl #jamiehewlett

Cherub spotting in Italy 👼

Woven tapestry I designed for Rí-Rá Irish Lager 🍻 Inspired by the ‘Treasured Tat’ found in pubs & homes all across Ireland 🇮🇪✨

An annoying thing I’ve noticed in arts/heritage spaces is that instead of funding the creation of art, they instead want you to run workshops on how to make that art, presumably so then more people can then not get paid to make art but give a continuing chain of workshops

Goals for 2025 : don’t smoke, don’t have a flare up, eat curry, make time to draw weird shit 🫡

I always end up reading a lot of fanfiction / manga during the weird in-between Xmas & New Years period. Gotta make sure I feel a deep sadness / heartache for fictional characters before the year is out ✨

Freelance emotions range wildly from:

“I’m stagnating. The skill I pride myself in doesn’t bring me joy anymore, nor does it help the world.”

to

“Wow this looks great! How did I do this! I’m literally a god”
