I realized I never posted the washi version of the deep sea set!!!
Itty bitty tickets inspired by how the deep sea is also like a sea of stars, and creatures that try to imitate the stars.

They're now up in shop!

No need to push yourself to finish working when you are tired and it’s past midnight… I submitted my files for print at 2am and they told me all my files are wrong this morning so I got to redo them 🙂‍↔️

hi #PortfolioDay - available to make otherworldly work from 2025.
TTRPGs, board games, more vinyl covers and concept + visdev stuff for games/film/tv would be cool!

illustration for Haunted Table's Triangle Agency adventure 'rom dump' - of adventurers zapping out of a barn window - a horned cyclops witha book of spells, a protagonise-looking goblin girl, a blue demon with some kind of spirit mace. A grim reaper hovers in front of the crescent moon.

Illustrated cover to the monkey man soundtrack vinyl. The monkey god hanuman opens his ribcage out, behind Dev patel's head. Hanuman's tail is a flaming circle that frames the figures, which dev patel graps. There's flame, blood, fleshy vomit.

the busts of two figures, one looks in pain, as they're having their vocal cords yanked from a hole in their throat by the other, who clutches them in a bunch with their furthest hand. With their other hand they concentratedly use a stringed instrument bow on the vocal cords. A rainbow bridges the heads, and is dotted with fantastical music notation. Their busts rest above a small basin.

a dark starry background, and a blue room where a bed sit next to windows looking out to the night sky. Psyche lies naked on a patterned bedframe amongst plants, her white hair arching around to the foot of the bed. She looks in wonder at Cupid - who is illuminated by the three candles she holds up. Cupid appears as a fleshy mass, strung within a halo, from which arrows eminate haphazardly.
