My goal is to create a new portfolio - post at least one new piece a week along with sketches. In a world severely over saturated with AI, I choose to walk the opposite way. I want my art to be guided by curiosity, patience and the genuine love of creation. #art #wip #conceptart #2dart
Very interested in setting up some new art gigs. I'll be posting a general pricing page hopefully Sunday. From concept work, to one-off illustrations, to full comics. Time to be fulltime freelance again.
Things have been so hectic. Barely done any art lately, especially since my PC kicked the bucket. Happy to finally be back at the helm today - here’s today’s warm-up. #art #sketch #wip #characterart #fantasyart
NASA just dropped this image of Artemis II astronaut Christina Koch looking back at us. The first woman to ever see our planet in its entirety. I’m not crying you’re crying 🥹🔭🧪 📸: NASA
Today’s practice. Start training at the new part-time job this week, will be pretty busy. Trying to fill more free time with art. #art #sketch #illustration #face
🍅 Making it a habit to do one page a day of character concepts on top of picking away at full illustrations for portfolio. Plan to stream this once my new work schedule kicks in. I will also be keeping commissions open along the way! 🍅 #art #sketch #characterconcept #conceptart #cartoon
World is a fuck but the creativity flows lately. Striking while the iron is hot. Main goal is to pick at multiple pieces at once in my free time. Taking this one on a more traditional route for now, interested to see where it goes. #wip #art #skull #chrysanthemums #illustration
Local Goblin Remembers To Use Social Media Once Every Three Months 👺 Been a weird time. Freelance is on and off thanks to the turbulence in our economy. Have some work here and there but looking to be more active again and seek out new opportunities! For now, here are some recent sketches.
I love vintage Halloween cats so I’m doodling around until I pick a few personal designs to paint. I also decided that my goblin character would be fun to apply a similar style to aaand now I want to redo all of the art for my streaming space 😅 #art #drawing #sketch #wip #vintageart #goblin #cartoon
A personal work in progress (no affiliation to anything, just playing with font illustration more). Excited to get back into some darker stuff. I very much want some metal album covers under my belt!😈 #art #drawing #sketch #wip #noai #noaiart #metal #nature #fantasyart #illustration
Just have to say, I am SO proud of my home state of New York tonight.
I don’t get to post client pieces too often lately. Here’s the progression of a TCG illustration I’ve just wrapped up this morning! ⛏️ #art #drawing #sketch #wip #illustration #fantasyart #dwarf
Hey all. Long time no see - I'll be posting more often again. Here's tonight's work - A long overdue personal art sesh. ⚔️☀️ #Art #WIP #Illustration #Comicart #Sketch #Comissionsopen
We did an interview with Kati Drinkwine (@absinthe-arts.bsky.social) all about everything! She is super talented and as I found out, more of a hardcore gamer than I knew. If you wondered about her work on our Kindred comic or beyond, its all here. Check out Kati and give her a follow.

"There’s some stuff about me that I’ve been ignoring for a long time. I’m afraid of that stuff. But it’s part of who I am. As long as I know the shape of my soul, I’ll be alright.” #adventuretime #lovebites #sketch #illustration #WIP

A quick doodle done this evening, putting some thought into a potential label design. Stay tuned! 🍓🍌 #art #sketch #WIP #rubberhose #cartoon #illustration
My latest years-long comic gig is coming to close in about a month, so I'm on the prowl for new work. I'll be following up with an updated portfolio asap. For the time being, if anyone out there has any leads on new/ongoing projects that need a 2D concept artist/general illustrator hmu!
Can’t remember the last time I’ve sat down and vibed through a personal piece. I’m going to be doing this way more. I’m tired of hiding because of AI. I exist and I want to be seen again. #art #illustration #sketch #WIP #gothic #moody #absinthearts
Here are some OC commissions I've done over the past couple of years. I'll be working up a current pricing sheet soon but if you've got interest in similar work, hit me up! #OC #Characterdesign #Illustration #NOAI #Original #Commissions
Finally on the mend, but still feeling the drain from this awful flu. Feels nice to be able to get a little work in today. Here's a #TCG image I finished a couple weeks ago, I really enjoy the color palette especially! #art #illustration #OC #fantasyart #wip #inks
