I rarely have time for personal work these days and everything I'm currently drawing is.. very angry. So here's a witch taking back her pyre.

Happy International Women's Day! This was a dream freelance gig for me since I loved the 90s X-MEN cartoon growing up!!! What a blast to draw so many powerful women 💖💖💖😳 big thanks to Marvel for the opportunity!

Happy 40th Anniversary Legend of Zelda!

Ganon from Windwaker for funsies since I FINALLY finished the game this year - I actually felt bad for him after all that. Guy grew up in a desert and just… wanted water.

I wondered if he realized he’d always become corrupted by the Triforce of Power, no matter what incarnation he became. That he would be forever tied to that role in the story.

Chinese New Year is actually a 12 year long personal project for me, where I create a new illustration of the zodiac animal each year, and see how my illustration style has progressed. These go from oldest to newest. So 6 down, 6 more to go!

Happy Year of the Tiger! This is a special year since it’s my mom’s year (get it, Tiger Mom?) But it’s also a Water Tiger year if you follow the elements :)

12 year project continues and you can see the other lunar new year illustrations I’ve done in the past!

Happy Year of the Rabbit! This year was a bit difficult for me, I really couldn’t seem to focus a lot to complete this piece and I don’t know if it’s just a slip of my discipline or just the state of everything around me but the 12 year project continues anyhow!

Happy Lunar New Year! This is the 12th and final year of my 12-year long zodiac project to see how my art style changed over the years (I don’t think it did much?!) but wow what a year to go out on. Happy Year of the Dragon, and hope you all have a prosperous one!

Maybe I’ll start up a new set next year?

Starting the cycle all over again with a new Year of the Snake illustration, one animal per year over 12 years 🥲🐍 crazy to be back at the beginning again!

Very old piece - still needed today.

This year's annual illustrated holiday postcard that was sent out to friends and family. I think I've made a new image every year for... 21 years straight? Maybe 22? I'm getting old. Anyway thanks for following on my art journey! ❄️💌☃️🎄

Made this 4 months ago for no reason whatsoever. Definitely didn't make it available to friends and family to download and print out. Definitely.

New personal work, and I guess ...partially how I currently feel about being in the game development industry. I could write out an essay on the current landscape, but I'm just... so damn tired.

So here's a piece that's a bit occult. On giving too much into our craft, and forever toeing the line of "was it worth it?" while trying to hold a healthy balance.
