Refuge (2022)

Refuge (2022)

A short comic I did last year. It's been up on my itch.io for a while but I thought I might as well post it here too. I'm still very proud of the art on this one.

I made a post sort of off-handedly on my side blog last week about pivoting to largely using an email newsletter to share my artwork, and while I wasn't super serious about it when I made the post, I'm now genuinely considering starting an email newsletter of some sort. Posting publically about certain things related to my practice (big projects, events I'm vending at, commission slots, etc.) can really psych me out.

The email list would be free to join and the link would be publically available, and I would email about once a month with what I'm working on, process notes, WIP work, events I'll be attending/vending/hosting, and commission information. I'll still post finished pieces publically, but I feel like a slightly more private environment would be better for some stuff.

Feel free to comment or send an ask with any thoughts or suggestions!

The Maniraptoran Alphabet (Part 4)

Part 4 of my dinosaur alphabet! I'll admit Yi qi for Q is the most questionable of the letters, given that it's the only one picked for species name rather than genus name. Unfortunately, though, the only genera I could find that fit my requirements (maniraptorans extinct before the Eocene) were things described in only 1 or 2 papers and had no pre-existing restorations to reference, so I would've had to make restorations for them whole cloth, and I just didn't have the time for that on this project (though maybe I will some other time?). So Yi qi was moved from Y to Q and I picked a different species for Y. (The other thing I was considering was throwing Quetzalcoatlus in there as a curveball, since it's not even a dinosaur muchtheless a maniraptoran, but that probably would have been a joke only for me.)

The Maniraptoran Alphabet (Part 2)

Part 2 of my dinosaur alphabet! A lot of super interesting species in this batch. I find it very amusing that Halszkaraptor is pretty much just an extra long duck... convergent evolution is wild.

I will be exhibiting at this year's annual Art Walk with Inglewood Open Studios, along with a whole passle of other cool artists! Come find me with the Youth Art Exhibition at the Miracle Theater. If you're in the Los Angeles area this weekend, I hope to see you there!
