I live just outside of a very lovely touristy town, and last summer I felt compelled to make a hyper-local (and hopefully amusing) souvenir for the sweet folks who come through and see my work.
For some reason it took me until now to finally colour it and have it made, but they're here!

I genuinely believe that if you do something long enough, & are sincerely devoted to it, you will become successful at whatever Thing you do.
It may not be as financially successful as you'd like, but don't get THAT fallacy confused w actually being successful &/or GOOD at a Thing: it still matters.

A recent commission. How happy I was to be asked to draw a spooky fishing cove. Being surrounded by them was certainly helpful for inspiration.

Happy Lunar New Year! It's the year of the snake, so here's one from a few years back with the Ior rune for good measure.

I crowdfunded an oracle deck a while back and the first run is very close to sold out 🤯🤯🤯 With just a few left, I'm planning my next moves.

I worked through my feelings the day I found out we lost him. There will never be another David Lynch, this much I am sure of.

I was unaware of what was happening when I drew this two weeks ago. Saddened and sickened by the news, I hope that my illustration can stand apart from its creator.
