oo oo baby

crop of a comic page's inks featuring a demon figure in leather jacket and crop, giving an effortless confidence. they seem to be in a gig, musice venue, bar type location. the text bubble is completely white coming from the figure.

let's go down to the ice

an ink drawing of laura stcey, abbey roque, and marie-philip poulin celebrating after a goal, the walls of an ice rink behind them. the text reads the team name, la victoire de montreal. they are graphically focused on with a cooler, more green hue in a circular spotlight, while the rink and background is in oranges and reds.

oo oo baby

the cover to high strangeness book four. it features two figures floating amongst a graphic bullseye shape, connected by a red string of fate and entangled.

the cover to blade maidens issue 5. it features rowan, ser, mel, and eldy upside down against the background of waves and a ship, with a slowly setting sun (or rising? this is open to interpretation) acting as a halo over their portraits.

The cover to The Catskin and the Rose prequel, featuring two figures mid embrace and intimate. The figures are in blue, with the weapon of the figure hunting them weaving in and over them, a chain broken framing them.

a figure portrait of chamber, with a cream halo behind. the fire in his chest cavity is vibrant in magenta and yellow, adding a striking focal point as he looks forward at the viewer.
