My iron-on Ouroboros patches came in time for Anime NYC! I’ll add them to my shop after the con! Image: iron-on patch depicting a circle of disembodied hands with forearms flowing counterclockwise in a ring. It resembles a strange version of the Ouroboros snake eating itself.

Magic card alter commission for Hghtut of Kraum and Tymna. I referenced Michelangelo’s “Creation of Adam” - it was a fun challenge to incorporate the original character designs. Grey gesso and ink ✨ #mtgalter
Magic Ad Nauseam alter commission! Flashe and ink This was a fun piece to plan out and work on! I wanted to really make the character feel overwhelmed by their surroundings. I take commissions regularly - DM or email me with inquiries!
A drawing in progress- around 30 hrs so far. Tombow Fudenosuke pens. During my daily job commute, I saw someone with a large plant in their backpack and I thought about what it would grow into. What does it mean to put down roots? And how do you move about and tend to your roots at the same time?
