2025 limited color fantasy pet portrait

Two tuxedo cats toil away in a tavern. One cleans dishes behind the bar while another consults his notes and balances beers on a tray. The patrons have left playing cards, empty plates and glasses, and other objects around the rear of the bar, gathering in the front in drunken merriment.

2025 full color commission

in a dense forest, a goblin hides behind a rock and summons with the aid of a spellbook 3 spectral birds. On the horizon, a giant white elk turns its gaze towards their hiding spot.

2025 limited color group commission

Inside a smokey dining room aboard a river boat pirate ship, a group of adventurers blow off steam. From left to right, an anxious squirrel has drunken to excess, a spirited otter teases them and toasts. A paternalistic skunk with a metal arm scolds them, while a delirious herbalist rabbit offers a solution, and the groups tinkerer, a sparrow, sits with an impulse of a food fight within reach.

025 limited tone fantasy family portrait

Two adventurers (and their cats) press forth in a water logged dungeon in orange and green. One holds a bow, with a cat toy tied to an arrow to direct the more playful of their two pets. The other adventurer holds his lazier cat aloft on a shifting scale.

Me and Penny (15) watched Penny's first ever Xena episode the other night while I was finishing up some work (the one where Gabrielle gets married and Callisto kills the guy) and that kid is HOOKED.
Here's an older Xena drawing, in celebration.

The Dropped Stitch

2025 limited tone design commissioned for prints and totebags

In a palette of red and creamsicle, two bunnies work in a small yarn shop. The first, behind the counter, knits diligently, raising one eye to meet the viewer. The second, much more enthused, hops around the store with a basket on his head, waving at the viewer and dropping some wares.

2025 full color fantasy commission for a married duo that run a sketch comedy troupe

A small stage is set into a great tree, props are strewn about the ground. A man sits on stage writing on an unwound scroll of paper- next to him a dog raises curtains. Behind them, an obscured ladder leads to an elevated deck, where a woman is gathering costume elements.

Everything is really scary and chaotic for Trans individuals right now. Regardless of whatever lies and fear that is spread, we know that the world is better with Trans people in it. You are all worth fighting for, and we will continue to advocate for your rights and your safety.
