Digital Art and Illustration

A watercolor style painting of three paper cranes hanging from strings and a koi fish swimming upwards.

Koi and Cranes

The cranes were inspired by poem called "1000 Paper Cranes" by Shinji Moon, while the koi swimming upwards represents perseverance.

A digital painting of a hand sqeezing lemon juice into a cup, with a bunch of lemons waiting to be squeezed and a background of cups full of lemon juice.

Lemonade

When you keep getting lemons, you keep making lemonade, right? Sometimes life feels full of challenges and I draw a picture about it.

Jellyfish

I wanted to try to capture bio-luminescence in a more messy and watercolor-y design.

SEAHorses

I really like seahorses. They're so unique and interesting and they come in so many amazing colors.

Underwater

I wanted to experiment with little to no line art and this is the piece I ended up with!

Vibes

I quit smoking before I underwent top surgery a little over a year ago and every once in a while I still get bad cravings. This picture was inspired by one of those cravings.

Apprentice

These drawings were part of a series I created for Drawtober 2022. I've always loved frogs and I wanted to create something similar to the Poro Roggo from FFXIV.

small-space witchcraft

I worked with the theme "Apartment Witch" and went from there. I wanted to show a shelf or a table in a small apartment dedicated to the craft. Props if you can find the Pokemon reference!

COLOR AND CHAOS

I love bright colors and busy images. These were some of my favorite things to create. Adding patterns, shapes, and fish to every inch of the picture is so much fun.

portraiture

A portrait of Bernie Sanders, bundled in a warm gray brown coat, patterned mittens, and a mask, sitting in a folding chair.

Bernie Sanders and his mittens

This was the first digital portrait I completed, around the height of the Sanders Mittens meme being circulated.

A portrait of the musician and singer Chester Bennington holding the mic and singing into it, while wearing a white t-shirt, sunglasses, and multiple tattoos.

Chester Bennington of Linkin Park

I was saddened when he passed away, and wanted to create a portrait for my own collection. While Linkin Park certainly isn't everyone's cup of tea, the music resonated with me and continues to do so.
