Fan Art

I like drawing things for existing IPs — especially things like Nintendo, movies, and comics!

Thank You, Mr. Iwata

It’s been almost a month since Satoru Iwata’s sudden passing. I still think about it almost every day. The thought immediately following is usually some version of “That’s messed up.” It’s astounding, something that no one really saw coming. The way we found out. The sudden outpouring of emotion on social media. The fan art – […]

Kirby: Queen Sectonia

April 2, 2015   5:06 pm

For a collaboration of Kirby bosses, I illustrated Queen Sectonia, the final boss of Kirby Triple Deluxe! Her battle’s music, “DIRTY & BEAUTY“, captures perfectly the theme of her villainy. She quickly became one of my favorite bosses of the whole Kirby series. Sectonia © Nintendo

2014, Paint Tool Sai, Photoshop. This was drawn for The Tribute Album: A TJ & Amal Fanbook. The book, compiled by Kori Michele, is a loving tribute to TJ and Amal by over 60 artists. I had a lot of fun with this. Really into the swing! With the source material being so musical, there are also a […]

Shantae WIP

I discovered the Shantae games this year. I had been told about them in the past, but I sort of overlooked them in the midst of my comically oversized gaming backlog. I picked up the original Game Boy game on the Nintendo 3DS eShop this summer, and it’s wonderful! I can’t believe I didn’t know […]

Kirby vs. Computer Virus

November 15, 2013   8:39 pm

I drew this for Ashley Davis’s Kirby’s Dream Zine! If you know one thing about me, know this: I am a huge Kirby fan. Pressed for time, I originally wanted this to be more painterly and elaborate, but it turned sort of papery instead, which was simpler with the time I had…and I like it […]

KUMA! TORA!

November 13, 2013   2:30 pm

2013, Paint Tool Sai. I drew this for Psychokinetic, a Mother/Earthbound series fan zine published in 2016. This is Kumatora, a character from Japanese game Mother 3. Mother 3 deals with themes of loss, memory, power, gender, psychics, mother nature, and commercialization. This character in particular is a psychic tomboyish princess and my favorite character […]

2013, Paint Tool Sai. A rapid warm-up experiment with simple colors and shapes, featuring an anthropomorphized Pokémon. The sixth generation of main-line Pokémon games came out this year. I’ve been playing them since I was 11 — so, for most of my life. It’s interesting and awesome to see people who are 10 playing it now, […]
