Black Fantasy Illustration: Northern lights Star by Geneva B

Hey WHAT’S GOOD! I'm Geneva Bowers.

I love all things nerdy and fantasy. I have a loving tendency of overusing using color with a side of atmospheric and nostalgic aesthetics. I enjoy drawing people of color just chillin’ and being.

I’m from Appalachia, and now residing in Chicago.

While I’m not formally trained in the arts, I try to make up for it by drawing really pretty stuff anyway. Hope ya agree :)
