poster artwork i did for an art gallery/library, march 2022, posca markers. yes they really have a tree growing inside the building.

My one and only inktober drawing (sad!), but I’m quite proud of it. It’s a reference to the x-files episode “conduit” where “lake okobogee” is known to be a ufo hotspot. I’ve had this idea for a fake souvenir shirt for a while, and now I’m starting to make them into actual screen printed shirts!

A peek inside my brain as of lately!

I’ve been working on a series of water tower paintings which will eventually culminate into a show in a local park in the beginning of October! I’m pretty psyched!

Around this time last year I tried drawing a tree in the style of Jamie Hewlett, my biggest art inspiration. Though it's obviously no match for his I am pretty pleased with the result.
