One more for the road. Keep laughing at the Adidas shaw meme and clown Hornet. What more fun than to combine the two? Now there are clowns shoes.

"What Binds Us"

Doing some iconography with Hornet, probably my favorite style of art. Acrylics on MDF board.

A meditation on symbolism.

Close to the finish line!!
For being my first cosplay, I think I did great. 🥰

Some dollarstore blankets, pool noodles, plastic diner sheets and mesh... and here's Hornet taking shape!
Actually very happy with how it came out. Still need to attach her horns proper. 🥰

I'm suspecting I'm allergic to latex, so I have to cancel plans on Hollyhock #cosplay.

No biggie. It's doesn't bug me. Not when I am becoming the bug.

Finally I got around to finishing my Midna #fanart!
I had to wait a bit for my item trade to recieve my #prismacolor pencils, but I'm so happy. 🥰

I love #thrifting trinkets, especially if it inspires me to make more art!

I love that runestone replica particularly.

Aight, Hollyhock #bojack #cosplay almost ready. Just need to finish the paintwork some more and style the mane.
Might rework the hoodie to a proper sweater. If I have the time.

My friend invited me to #cosplay at #NärCon.
I'm upcycling one of those cursed horse masks to become Hollyhock from #Bojack.
This is my first cosplay, but I've worn this once, as a bet on a grocery run to Coop.

Spent yesterday and today doing this #art piece.

Here's Siu and Deon about to #fantasy journey out on dragonfly.

I'm waiting for my shipment of prismacolor pencils to blend highlights better. I'm almost out of white.

My new light board came padded with old crumpled superhero #comics featuring #batman and #superman.
I'm gonna try to salvage these and study their linework!
I recognized the grid style as Kirbys classic layout, but know nothing else about these.

Some nights I think about you a lot. Times' arrow marches on, as cruel as it might be. But you are forever at the core of my passion.

If living in your dream, and giving it life for the rest of mine is what sets me free, I'll gladly take that vow.

Made this #animation for my mom as a surprise.

Siu will be appearing in my #comic later on.

What you give to the world, the world gives back.

I managed to find a kind soul in the US willing to trade collectables for vintage prismacolor pencils before the tariffs struck. I've been wanting some for so long! 😭🥰

I'm so thankful people like this still exist. 🙏

Spent today doing traditional #animation on some tracing paper.

It's been at least 15 years since I dabbled in this hobby.

Here is a headshot of Sini, the protagonist of my #comic.

When I was 12, I spent copious amounts of time drawing animatics and making simple animations.

I recently uncovered some old projects and decided to animate them.
August 22, 2025 at 1:08 PM
I got around to drawing another set of sketch pages for my comic!

Slowly making progress on my panels, I had a few days where I could work with my nibs, without my neighbor kicking the walls. I'm starting to wonder if I got elephants upstairs. 👀
