POSTS STORIES REELS

I've had this interview in my pocket since October of last year, and only sharing now. It's because it touches on how I was raised and I feel like my words are a little harsh, especially towards my mom. I didn't want to sugarcoat my experience growing up but I also did not want to share this and have her read my words on social media. I was finally able share this article with her and our relationship is better for it.

Thank you @fairtradelongbeach for the nomination.
Thank you @shoutoutlaofficial for this opportunity to share my story. Last and not least, thank you @dollydcm for being the best mom I can ask for.

Untitled. Not too happy with the line work this one but it was decent practice to mess with colors.

This is Loki, the subject of my first in-person pet commission. This was during @lbbeer 's Clean & Crispy Fest. He turned out much better than expected since I'm still getting used to using copic markers. This was a fun one to do with all the curls.

Today @wondercon !!! Come hear how love plays a role in the artistic pursuits! by @paoworks

In a week, I'll be part of a panel at this year's WonderCon! With @08ambert @ralphinox @im_a_d0rk @mr_bubba_lu @ishihara.ink and @newnormalmentalhealthservices! In this panel we will tackle what it's like to be in a relationship where one is an artist and the other is not. We'll speak on what it's like from each perspective and how we support each other as well as tell some entertaining stories of our experiences, past and present. I hope to see you next Sunday!

For a costume party last night @08ambert and I went as Henry Spencer and The Lady in the Radiator from David Lynch's Eraserhead (1977). Thank you @sketchboy01 and @corazoneshandmade for hosting another great Halloween party! And @justinquiz for taking the first photo before I messed up my terribly applied make-up shown in color in the second image.

Quick little doodle I did last night. #bearart #digitalsketches #letsgotothemall by @paoworks

I tried my luck again on the wheel and I think I'm getting better. But I had to add stuff to what we're supposed to be mugs, but became bowls.
