2025 has been the most challenging year of my life. I went through a major family loss while stepping in to become a guardian for my younger sibling. I’ve been working on a lot, which has pushed most of my creative work to the background - but it continues. I have big dreams for 2026 and beyond 🖤

I'm gonna keep saying this with my full chest: I am completely uninterested in genAI "art" of any kind.
There's no soul in it, there's no message in it, and it is actively destroying communities in America and beyond.
Don't whine to me about how you "did the work" because no you really didn't.

In my first published game, Candlelight, you are ghosts trying to escape a haunted forest before it claims you forever.

I’m always saying the same shit and I mean it every time. In the age of soulless AI slop, nothing matters more than your voice, so write/create whatever makes you happy. Make it weird. Make it dark. Make it queer. Make it surreal, diverse, sexy. Make it political as fuck. Do YOU.
