My local radio station put on a 24 Hour Song Challenge and I participated!
I wrote all the music and played every instrument. My friend Dylan produced and did audio engineering. The result: a psychedelic bedroom pop-esque song!

Do you like Pokémon and piano music?
Here's my cover of "Gate" from Pokémon Black & White! This is one of my favorite lesser known tracks.
This cover was done as part of a larger collab album called VGM Pianists. It's 36 tracks of Pokémon piano!

When I was younger, I used to make "revamps" of older Pokémon sprites from Gen 1/2 into the style of Gens 3/4/5.
Decided to try again with Clefairy from Pokemon Silver! I'm more of a composer than a pixel artist but I have fun making these.
Have you made a "revamp" before? #pokemon #pixelart
