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 […]
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 […]
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, […]
A collaboration that I organized with over 60 different authors and artists to make a full set of 78 tarot-themed artworks for an online gallery! This project spanned four years (from 2009-2013) and features artists from around the globe. I designed the cards template and contributed three pieces between my two (currently on-hiatus) webcomics.

Last year’s holiday card to my friends and family, featuring my original characters. This was my first artwork on which I used spot gloss, which is just fantastic. (It really brings out the bright colors — I love bright colors, if you haven’t noticed.)

It was created according to the exact specs and timeline of a prior real-world project, which included stock photos to choose from, the creation of a new logo, and the last-minute accommodation of […]
2011, Paint Tool Sai, Photoshop. My first Threadless design submission. It’s good to get your emotions out. I learned a lot in the process of making and submitting this (a big thanks to Mallory Dyer and everyone who commented and critiqued!). These are the original two sketch versions, done years before I decided to make […]
2010, Paint Tool Sai, Photoshop. Done for an Infectious laptop skin art contest. The first time I had fun drawing a snake. (I love snakes; just not so much drawing them.)
