Hi hello howdy #portfolioday
I've worked in editorial, publishing, advertising, video games, studio production, animation and TTRPGs. Lately it's been mostly book projects and cards. I like drawing everything, but especially light 🌥️

The winter rains have arrived in Gaza. We’d hoped to help three families—mostly kids vulnerable to hypothermia—get out of the cold before the rains hit, but it isn’t too late to act and help them secure shelter.

Everything I've drawn this week has subtle but exacting perspective angles and I've been using Lazy Nezumi so much I'm surprised the program window hasn't started smoking on my screen

ICE has been raiding my neighborhood and surrounding ones for the last couple of weeks now. They commandeered my local church (against the pastor's will) for a staging site and raided supermarkets, parks, Goodwills, bus stops, you name it.
The national media's been silent. So has @mayor.lacity.gov.

Engagement on our updates re: ICE kidnappings/fed siege of Los Angeles is significantly lower on Bluesky compared to Twitter. Do ppl on here not care about LA anymore? Are feeds being taken over by liberal commentators? What's going on?
Community members on the ground can't do it all. We need help.

The feds are escalating in Los Angeles. We've seen record high kidnappings and our communities are under attack. The media focus on LA has died down so electeds don't feel the need to even feign opposition.
People are out here fighting. We need all of us. Join the struggle. Defend your neighbors.

I don't really know why I'm drawing an elf girl other than that every so many months all artists on social media are given a cursed little test to prove our worthiness. If we don't pass it we are banished from the internet and bring great shame to our families.

Some of the sketches. Typically with clients I do a "pasta at the wall" round, especially when we aren't quite 100% on direction, then once we have a firmer direction I provide color alternates and more refinement of silhouettes/expression.

I’m replaying the Witcher 3 and which absolute troll at Projekt Red made the executive decision to set the quest NPC running speed for people you have to follow faster than Geralt’s walk but slower than his run. Whomst.

I've been filing my taxes for years with HR Block but this past month I had to file my 2024 state taxes (CA got an extension due to the fires) and...this company is just 3 AI raccoons in a trench coat now, isn't it?

We recently asked our landlord to stop paying for landscapers to save a couple $$ and also because landscaper philosophy seems to be “cut every living thing within an inch of its fucking life.” After pruning Mexican sage by hand for an hour and a half I almost regret that decision. …Almost.
