A heads-up just in case it happens again: Haven't been able to access my account in a couple of weeks because I live in TX and got hit with an "age-verification-or-else" prompt. Seems fixed for now, but if this is the path social media wants to go down, I'll be ecstatic to leave. 👋

🐚 seaunseenzine.itch.io/sea-unseen-2026 Here's a preview of my piece for this ocean-themed zine. Dusted off my old coloured pencils and drew four pelagic fishies. You can get this zine and view its 81 nautical artworks for $1+; all proceeds go to the Australian Marine Conservation Society. 🪸

A preview for an artwork I contributed to the "The Sea Unseen 2026," a marine zine. The preview features cropped artworks of four fish faces, from left to right: Mahi Mahi, Indo-Pacific blue marlin, wahoo, and Onaga or longtail red snapper; the fish are accurate to their true colours. Any viewable background in the preview is diagonally flow-y water that incorporates colours from each fish.

Honestly, art is slow again because I am reinvigorating my plant passion + started gardening this year... Sometimes when I wake up too early in the morning, I go outside while it's still grey and cool, and hang with my plants because it feels like the closest I can get to okay right now.

My full piece for Polar Lights 4: Eventide + my very first zine contribution! 🌨️ This chilly collection of work is still available for $2, and all raised funds go to the Antarctic and Southern Ocean Coalition. polarlightszine.itch.io/polar-lights-4 #grylloblattid #invertart #traditionalart

Traditional artwork of an icecrawler/icebug aka grylloblattid. The insect looks similar to both roaches and crickets with copper-y coloration; it sits in the bottom-left portion of the artwork and faces toward an ice cave's exit point at the top-right portion. Sunlight shines into the cave from that top-right area and appears as a light yellow swirl. The rest of the piece is various icy cave components, such as icicles, smooth icy flooring and walls, etc.; lots of blues, greys and powdery white coloration.

🐛 WURMPLE WEDNESDAYS 2026 — Prompt 1: Alternate Type(s) Kickin' it off with a boo! 👻🎉 There’s still time to join Wurmpril until the end of April, check the list of prompts on the account page or at wurmpril.carrd.co! ✨

Here to do more of the #wurmpril challenge. Prompt: alt. type(s) I imagine the ghost typing is gained if one does not survive parasitism. (And the OG ghosts, #Gastly, #Haunter, and #Gengar, are slightly aghast.) #wurmple #pokemon #pokemonart #traditionalart

This piece of art is for the Wurmpril 2026 prompt "Alt. Type(s)" ... Which was one of the prompts I began working on from last year's prompt list; yay for finishing an art, kinda.

The artwork is of a Wurmple facing left. It is holding its head/face with its arms and looking down with (my attempt to draw) a sad/zombie-like expression. The Wurmple has been parasitized by wasp larvae and is becoming a ghost type; Wurmple looks wispier, has more purple in its colour palette than normal, and little ghost-shaped creatures are attached to its body.

The background is vague forest: dark green-purple canopy up top, a pale blue-green clearing, and reddish-purple grassy shapes in the foreground.
Gastly, Haunter, and Gengar also appear floating in the background and are showing concern/fear about Wurmple's ghost transformation.

"Berries" piece for late #wurmpril. April was kinda rough, but I still want to chip away at the six remaining drawings for the ten prompts I chose. 🤷 #wurmple #oddish #pokemon #pokemonart #traditionalart #rawstberry #aspearberry #oranberry

This piece of art is for the Wurmpril 2025 prompt "berries."
It's late, sorry.

The artwork features a Wurmple which has eaten through a pile of three berries. There is a rawst berry on the left, an oran berry on the right, and an aspear berry behind these two to create a round-triangular pile of berries.

The Wurmple has tunneled through the three berries, so it appears in three parts:
1. Its head and front part of its body are popping out of the oran berry and Wurmple is kinda waving at the viewer,
2. the middle part of its body reappears from the aspear berry and disappears behind it,
3. and Wurmple's tail end is shown at the entry point of the triple-berry tunnel which is the rawst berry.

The background is pretty a general blue sky + vague green grass. There are a couple of puffy white clouds toward the top of the drawing, with some pinkish-purple dreamy clouds on the top right (because this piece is actually on the same page and connected to the previous Wurmpril piece I did... some of the clouds are just overlap.)
Additionally, there are two Oddish, one on each side of the berry pile, planted in the ground to look like bigger grassy pieces of the background. The left Oddish is peaking out from behind the rawst berry, and the right Oddish is smiling next to the oran berry.

This was going to be two parts, but, whatever. "Nap time" piece for #wurmpril. #wurmple #pokemon #pokemonart #traditionalart Easter eggs: #silcoon #beautifly #cascoon #dustox #jigglypuff #minior #lunatone #staryu #musharna

This piece of art is for the Wurmpril 2025 prompt "nap time."

The artwork features two sleeping Wurmples. The middle, pupal evolutions, Silcoon and Cascoon, are drawn as pillows; and, the final, adult-bug evolutions, Beautifly and Dustox, are drawn as blankets.

In the top drawing, a Wurmple is sleeping on its back-and-side with the Silcoon pillow under its head and the Beautifly blanket pulled up under its first set of legs. The overall appearance is meant to resemble drifting away to sleep.
In the bottom drawing, another Wurmple sleeps on its stomach with the Cascoon pillow under its head and the Dustox blanket pulled over itself like a little blanket-hood; the Wurmple is drooling as it sleeps. The appearance is meant to depict the after-you-crash nap.

The background is a gradient (from left to right) of dark-black night sky and evening pastel-ish sunset, and the ground beneath the lower Wurmple is green and vaguely grassy.

Additional Pokémon featured are:
Jigglypuff singing in the top right,
Minior, Lunatone, and Staryu floating in the night sky portion (left side of art mostly) as spacey-nighttime objects,
and Musharna, bottom-center of the art, producing its sleepy pink-purple clouds.

Another piece for the #wurmpril challenge: bug friends. A #venipede for my friend, Ray, and a #paras for myself. We also both agreed that #trapinch should be here as an honorary bug. Yay friends! #wurmple #pokemon #pokemonart #traditionalart

This piece of art is for the Wurmpril 2025 prompt "bug friends."

The artwork has three bug-Pokémon friends hanging out with wurmple. They are all right-facing, and walking: venipede is to wurmple's right, trapinch at the back, and paras to wurmple's left.
The background is a pastel-ish sunset (from left to right: blue, purple, pink, orange, and yellow,) and the ground beneath them is vague grassy shapes of the same colours, just darker and greyer.

Did you know that the bees that need saving are NOT honeybees? Honeybees are the dairy cows of bees. People brought them over from Europe to make us honey. The problem with honeybees, esp in resource-limited ecosystems (like hey! cities!) is that they compete with our native bees for food.

Completed t-shirt design for a club. It's a weevil with the colour scheme of a bald eagle, flying to the left. The weevil's legs resemble eagle talons, and the elytra + beetle wings have feather-y shapes incorporated into them.

Idea sketch for t-shirt design. A weevil is sketched in red ink and an eagle in green ink. The animals are overlapped and aligned to help think of ways to combine their features.

Reposting some of my birbs into one eclectic flock: -2013 #Hummingbird visiting Fuchsia, -2015 Crested Caracara, #crestedcaracara #Caracaracheriway, -2018 Three Ballpoint Bird Requests ( #eagle, #bluejay, and #sparrow ), -2018 Wood ducks, #woodduck #Aixsponsa. #birdart #wildlifeart #traditionalart

An ink drawing of a hummingbird visiting a fuchsia flower.
The linework is blue ballpoint pen, the color is very liquid-y highlighters, and the areas of lighting are white gel pen; done on bluish-purple cardstock.

A drawing of a crested caracara flying above some water.
Left a lot of negative space in this one, and added yellow and blue contour cloudy lines to compliment the purple used in the bird.

Pen drawings of three birds requested by IG followers in 2018.
Art was done in a sketchbook and with BIC multicolor pens.

An eagle flies toward the top-right corner of the page, colors mostly black and dark blue with a touch of light blue. The underside of the eagle is viewed, much like looking up at circling vultures silhouetted in the sky.
A blue jay sits on a tree branch, somewhat central in the art, colors mostly dark blue and light blue. The jay sits with its back to the viewer, looking back over its right shoulder.
A (brave) sparrow stands to the right of the blue jay on the same branch, colors mostly light green and dark green with a touch of light blue. The sparrow attempts to puff up, wings raised in a threatening manner, at the jay to spook it off.

There is a large tree branch that stretches from the bottom right corner of the art and stretches over to the left edge of the page, it gradients from light green to light blue, and ends in a big leafy bunch on the left side. The rest of the page was left white.

A drawing of a wood duck couple swimming beside each other; the female is in the top-left facing left, and the male is in the bottom-right facing right.

It's a pretty standard ducks-on-water piece, accurate colours, and my additional (but usual) contour line usage.

Started in December 2021, finished in December 2025. I like what I tried to do with this, but I am no watercolor master so I'll just have to keep pushing myself with it. #easterntigerswallowtailbutterfly #Papilioglaucus #insectart #invertart #watercolor #traditionalart

A watercolor painting of an eastern tiger swallowtail butterfly. The colors of the butterfly are accurate: mostly yellow with black striping and body, subtle blues in the hindwings. The wing venation resembles bird feathers.
It is supposed to be a top view of the butterfly in flight, so it flies toward the top-left corner of the watercolor paper.
The piece is divided in half diagonally, where the butterfly takes up the majority of the bottom-right half, and green and brown foliage fills in the top-left half of the painting.

Techbros seem to love Tolkien, so here's an analogy to help you understand what genAI is. GenAI is The One Ring. You think your use is justified, b/c you don't have evil in your heart. But it came from evil, it is intended for evil purpose, & anything you do with it will be twisted to that end.

Boromir from THE LORD OF THE RINGS, holding The One Ring. He thought he could use it for good, but everything done with the ring turns to evil. He was one of the mightiest warriors of middle earth, and he could not resist its powers. Others even mightier fell to the ring. Do you think you are stronger than them? The One Ring is generative AI.
