I always find it funny when Instagram gives me notifications like “Do you want to work with brands to expand your content?" Nah, I don’t really enjoy social media, and I only post when I want to. I’ve got too much cool art to make, and so far, that strategy has been working just fine.

Like most artists on Instagram I’m also getting slammed with the ‘likely made with AI tag’. Allow me To be clear. AI art is bullshit and I do not and will never partake in it. The only reason the tech exists is because of the mass theft of real working artists.

I’m trying to find a solution to displaying a lot of prints in a small space. What are some of the best ways you’ve seen artists display a lot of prints in a small space? ie portfolios, boxes, dish drying racks

A week ago, I brought home a stack of my mom’s old records. It’s been really fun listening to them and getting to know her better through her music taste :). So far, my favorites have been Tom Petty, Elton John, and Bob Seger

This is my 2026 GenCon exclusive playmat design! It’s an alternate version of my piece “Creativity”. It’s a take on creating while going through tough times. It may be difficult to do, but it is necessary and healing

Every year since 2023 I make a GenCon exclusive mat. Currently, I can’t decide between the safe option on the left or the crazy, trippy, kaleidoscope version. Which do you prefer?
