I'm not sure where to share my art anymore. I'm kind of just holding illustrations out and hoping some digital seagull or something comes and takes it away some other place.

An illustration of a person standing in their kitchen looking at their phone as the glow emitting from it highlights their face. The rest of the kitchen remains in shadow, save for a plant and mug atop a table by the window, where sunlight shines through.

Album single cover for Andrew Boylan's "Heaven": open.spotify.com/album/3BvEly...

A digital album cover featuring two figures in repose inside transparent houses depicted in space. Representing the sun and moon, they are connected by a cosmic phone line that travels through the remains of an obliterated planet, their thoughts displayed as memories of the planet's primary wonders. The title "heaven" is written in the corner in ribbon script.

a sketch with digital color of a woman resting her head on her arms on top of a open book. Tangled branches envelope her, and a goblin pokes its head over the table.

when bodies are treated as objects they are acceptable, however once the bodies have autonomy and find ways to express their own pleasure for themselves, it becomes unacceptable. the legality of sexuality in this country is dictated by who gets to enjoy it
