My name is Joshua, Lieberman but many know me as Jordin (my middle name, hence the JJL) or Jo. I have a proclivity for illustrating humanized animals, moody settings, and scenes inspired by or adapted from literature.

I love personifying animals, from the spooky (though I love them!) corvids and snakes, to the familiar cats and dogs, to the folksy raccoons and deer. Giving an opossum an ill-fitted suit and a cigarette is my kind of thing.

I also enjoy painting gloomy — yet perhaps cozy? — scenes. I'm both an enjoyer of and believer in Gothic literature, so any depiction of mist-draped ruins, darkened streets, or crepuscular landscapes is my paradise.

You can usually tell what book I'm reading by the annotated doodles I make while working through it. It's my way of committing details to memory, and of helping myself get a little more into the author's world.
No AI has ever been or will ever be used in my art.
