Y’all I went shopping and am feelin’ myself something FIERCE 😘
From the wifey: So a while ago a friend tagged me on a gorgeous picture that Ashleigh Beevers Art @mustashleigh mustashleigh had done, and on a whim, I reached out to see if they’d do some art for Magnifique Noir.
THEN THIS GORGEOUSNESS HAPPENED!!!
I cannot contain all the Black Girl Magic I just CANNOT!!! WHY ARE MY ARTISTS SO WONDERFUL?!

I haven’t updated Tumblr in forever but OMG LOOK AT THIS!!! My book is going to be so rad!
Introducing magical girls gettin’ down to business! We have Galactic Purple powering up her signature “Cupcake Bomb.” Not only does it explode, but it has acidic frosting. Next, we have Prism Pink using her seamstress abilities with “Sewn Together Symmetry.” She uses her threads to tie down her opponents, and if they try to move they learn the hard way that the thread is razor sharp.
This art will soon be available as prints of the girls and will also be included in the first book of the magnifiqueNOIR series: I Am Magical.
Artwork by: Jenn St-Onge Illustration

There’s a city. It’s like most other cities. Buildings. People. Monsters who can destroy sidewalks by vomiting acid onto the ground, and an elite group of black, queer, magical girls who work to put those monsters in their place.
See? Just like most other cities.
Bree Danvers would’ve compared it to a video game, maybe a cartoon or comic book, except black girls are rarely the heroines of the story. But there her heroine stood, plus sized and wonderful, rocking a dazzling amount of purple and defeating monsters with galactic sparkles. Galactic Purple, that was her name, and soon, Bree was joining her on a magical adventure full of transformations and after school battles to defend a city like most other cities.
And soon, others would join them, and each one would be magical in their own way… give or take a few bumps on the acid covered ground.
Welcome, everyone, to the world of magnifiqueNOIR, a young adult book series that delves into the lives of a group of extraordinary magical girls who defend the lives of the people around them. Along the way, they face new challenges that may undo everything that they’ve become, but even so, they always work to be the best women they can be.
A rainbow love story <3 <3 <3

My wifey made me two Rainbow Brite looks based on a sketch I did and I am in love with both of them <3 <3 <3
What does it mean to be magical?
Who decides who is magical?
What does it take to be magical?
Am I magical?Are we?
It starts out simple enough: there’s monsters roaming around the city, and there’s girls ready to save the day. They balance their normal lives with their magical lives, and attempt to follow the magical girl formula of proper transformations, elegant attacks, and stunning poses. But even the most dedicated magical girl begins to ask questions. Where are the monsters coming from? Where did their powers come from? Were they the first ones to be appointed as magical girls, because these transformation tools feel well-worn, as if there’s some history behind them.
Is it worth seeking answers to these questions, or is it better to follow the status quo?
The magnifiqueNOIR website is NOW LIVE! Head on over and explore everything the site has to offer. Merchandise, book snippets, character models, convention appearances, and more.
I was gonna wait but I neeeeeeeeed to post these progress pics because OMFG!
So I sketched an idea for a Rainbow Brite ballgown and my super amazing wonderful wifey is making it and oh. Oh my god. The skirt. THE SKIRT!!! She had this beautiful idea of using patterned fabrics to make the rainbow and it is STUNNING.
I want to live in this skirt. Like, bury me in this heavenly ruffles. I am so magical right now <3 <3 <3
