Hard at work on DOWNFORCE, a graphic novel series with Inklore. A near-future, F1-racing-inspired BL following Ilya, a promising rookie from the moon colony as he falls for his biggest rival Thierry, a wild hotshot.

Stick around to see all the bonus illustrations I make for them in my free time 🏁🏎️🏎️
A faux poster for the Czech Grand Prix, 2056. Looming large over the scene are profiles of Ilya and Thierry, facing away from one another. In the background can be seen their intensity within their racing helmets in faded profile, while across the front race their two cars along the racetrack. Introductory profiles for Thierry and Ilya, with more statistics than is even possible for me to write here. A fashion magazine cover for Thierry, all in deep blue. It's from early in the season and the main article tease is titled "FIRE & ICE: Thierry Koskunen on a fresh start at Vulkan." Thierry lounges on what is maybe a couch, or perhaps a floor (it's really a conversation pit) with his shirt open and jewelry glinting everywhere. A men's lifestyle magazine cover for Ilya, sharp light highlighting him from above against a dark background. It's a mid-season release, with the main article headline reading, "Ilya Levan: DARK HORSE. Meet Koskunen's biggest nightmare." Ilya stands with a quiet intensity in a chrome bomber jacket, black leather gloves, and his helmet in hand for the photo shoot.

I have worked so hard and I have waited so long to be able to tell you this: DOWNFORCE REAL. Downforce is going to be a graphic novel series with Inklore.

Thank you for waiting with me and watching my boys for all these years. I promise to bring you the very best story I am capable of. 🏁🏎️🏎️🎆

Ilya & Thierry to bless your timeline
An illustration of two men hugging enthusiastically. The shorter of the two is physically lifting the taller one off the ground, with a cheeky grin towards the viewer as if to imply he's showing off a little.

If you say so, I'll leave home.
Thierry leans down overtop Ilya, who lays back in a bed. Neither face can be seen. They're partially undressed. The dark room is bathed in light through an open door.

Downforce: The Hungarian Grand Prix, August 6, 2056.
Faux poster for the Hungarian GP, featuring Thierry & Ilya tied at 189 points into the weekend. It's made up the way F-Star might post to social media to build hype, with various headshots, celebratory poses, and information scattered across the background in muted colors. Over top appears to drive both cars, fully rendered.

while I'm still here
Thierry and Ilya hold each other on top of a bed, possibly asleep. It's softly lit.

The Bird & The Open Door
Ilya stands outside a set of open glass doors, leaning against a tall concrete wall, looking away and across a bay. An outcropping of a city can be seen in the distance. A seagull flies away.

We can make the world spin however we want
A blue figure and red figure come close together, their faces sparking off each other, creating an explosion of color in the background. (yes it's T&I)

The 2056 Formula Star Contenders: Ilya levan & Thierry Koskunen
Two portraits of Ilya & Thierry loom large, overtop their cars, captured racing hard on track. In the back are faded in two portraits of themselves in their helmets. Both Ilya and Thierry face away from each other. It's a bit reminiscent of a movie poster. Some small text shows it's an advertisement for the 2056 Czech Grand Prix.

That makes it sound depressing, but it isn't at all. It actually contains all my hopes and dreams. Sometimes you can't realize how deep in the pit you are until you try to look up at the stars. It's a lot of work to get out, but together we can do it.

Real talk, the last two years have been the hardest years of my life. I broke down to nothing and this time I could not rebuild myself from the shards but only from scratch. Downforce is a monument to my grief but also showed me my way forward.
