Some work from earlier this year for Momentum Magazine. A series of articles all highlighting ongoing research about improving public health. Many small illustrations spread across 7 articles.

As a fan of strange media outing I subscribed to Quibi for a month or two when it was live and it was absolutely worth it for the spectacle of weird content that padded out the offerings on the app.

Was just told it’s National Cancer Survivors Day. A group I’m glad myself and many others are a part of. Here’s a Tasmanian Devil drawing, who’re making progress on their own cancer fight.

All that to say my piece did not fit the vibe of the show but I made what I wanted to at the time and I still like it.

Last year I got asked to make a piece for a gallery show with the theme of little things. I was fresh off completing chemo so I made a this piece featuring personal objects shorter than my tumor. What I didn’t note was the owner of the gallery mostly drew scenes with malformed pop culture characters

An illustration of various smaller objects like a matchbook, earbuds, cassette player and more with their shadows melting away from them in a stark red black and yellow color palette

This gets added to the list of drink packaging I work on in 2025 along with these. Plus another that will likely never see the light of day. 2025; year of drinks.

Finished this last year but can now share this label illustration I did for Bluewood Brewing’s Jam Session!

Image shows the illustration of a band made up of peanuts and a pb&j sandwich playing along psychadelic smoke and graphics. The illustration is overlaid on a mockup of a tall beer can.

My grocery store is selling “bruised beer” packs that are just various cans and bottles taped together into a makeshift weapon. Of course I bought one.

Getting back into doing some personal illustration for fun and trying out some new procreate brushes. Fish is based on a snakehead fish.

A fish swims in front of a pillar of swirling pillar of abstracted water, plants and coral.

I am one of those increasing this statistic. I wasn’t lucky to get cancer but was lucky to get symptoms to catch it early enough. Get checked! Great to hear research is progressing and thanks @scishow.bsky.social for the vid.

Glad to be in remission. Still getting a ton of scans and tests to make sure it stays gone, the process never ends.

Once it’s in there it’s tough to get ‘em out.

What is the zine about? And are you taking submissions? If so, and I have anything in that wheelhouse, I'd like to contribute.

Working on a zine I had forgotten I made a little preorder page for, then never promoted. Well a couple people found it so I gotta get moving.

I’ve been so off on posting on here that I never really posted this. If you see Mango Ride on shelves in Aldi (in the US anyway) I did the packaging illustration for it!

Sending out my new Pak Pak catalogs to backers also means I’ve got a bunch of item or character illustrations I’ve just been sitting on. Feels a little odd to share them out of context but also I like them. Once I get these preorders finished I’ll be making this catalog available.

Just got my Pak Pak Shop Shop zines delivered and they turned out great! I kickstarted these last year and it feels great to get these in hand. It is a catalog of ttrpg items you can put in your games from a dodgy dog kobold. Looking forward to having them at events.

Oh wow, I worked there while I was in college. The discount was nice to have as an art student. I liked the actual framing but I remember anything to do with corporate was a pain and some of the customers were awful.

Forgot to share when it went live. I Got to create this mascot character for a new auto shop cleaning product called Spill-o-matic. Fun to work on niche products like this!

Cartons of spill-o-matic showing the front and back of the packaging that feature the mascot, an anthropomorphic version of the carton itself.

The illustration of the mascot, an anthropomorphic carton walking with a confident slightly angry expression.

A carton of spill-o-matic on a garage floor next to a spill with the product spread around it.

Hello new followers! (and old followers) i’ve been quiet on here recently. Turns out going through cancer treatment takes up a lot of time and energy. However, I was lucky enough, and feeling good enough, to complete a mural this summer. Biggest one I’ve done!
