Shameless plug: My latest newsletter drops on the 1st and it’s packed with updates. I share where I’m at with #SDCC, a sneak peek at a brand-new 3x3 debuting there, and a new opportunity with a respected gallery. Short, sweet, and worth a read. Check it out! (Link in bio).

Revisiting my Final Fantasy VII sticker set from a few years back while I’ve been diving into FFVII Remake again.
Anyone else playing this for the first time or double dipped like I did?

While I love my Switch 2, it has left me missing the old, pocketable handhelds lately. So I dug up my GBA SP, DS Lite, and 3DS and I’m ready to dive back into some games I missed on these systems. I can’t wait! Any gamers out there miss the smaller handhelds also?

Been enjoying the hell out of Cyberpunk 2077 on Switch 2 and am very impressed with how it looks. It got me rethinking if I should get the Switch 2 version of RE9. I think I’ll still get it on PS5, but it’s tempting!

I almost completed the application for an Artist Alley table at Phoenix Fan Fusion today. Had to back out last minute though. Perhaps next year, but I do have my eyes on you Phoenix Fan Fusion!

This made my day. My “X of Hearts” artwork is now a tattoo on someone’s arm. A first for me and I’m incredibly stoked and honored. ❌♥️

This year's theme is ADAPT. It’s applying 2025’s lessons and adapting to this new normal in my career, including both my freelance work and my print and sticker business. It feels like the right theme for this year. I sense a few changes ahead and I can’t wait! Let’s go!

2025 was a balance of momentum and exhaustion. However, family, friends, and small moments kept me grounded. Closing out the year proud of the work, grateful for the support, thankful for the experiences, and stepping into what’s next with clarity and purpose. Happy New Year!

It’s #ArtVsArtist time! This year, I feel like I found my groove in terms of both my aesthetic and what I enjoy illustrating, especially with my 3x3 Collection line.

The work is mysterious and important.
It’s been a busy month! Wanted to share this 3x3 MDR art piece that debuted at SDCC this year. Love this show and I’m looking forward to watching it all over again.

This is why I create. Love it!
So I updated my art walls. The Hannibal Wall, The Medium Art & Small Arts 😍
I love how it turned out and there is room in the small art wall for more 😁
Only Small Art on these walls from now on 👍

I love Guillermo del Toro’s The Shape of Water. I recently rediscovered a sketchbook piece I did of the Amphibian Man/The Asset (played by the wonderful Doug Jones) from 8 years ago. With del Toro’s Frankenstein now out, it felt like the perfect time to share this watercolor piece again.

As a kid who watched wrestling religiously with my dad, I always dreamed of attending the “Big 4” WWF/WWE PPVs in person. Tonight, I finally get to check Survivor Series off the list and I’m stoked!

I talked about getting back into anime recently. I finally watched “your name” which I’ve wanted to do since it came out and my goodness! I get it now. Such a beautiful film. Watching Frieren now and I absolutely adore that show! What an interesting concept. Loving it all!
