This drawing was created about 2 years ago, prior to my first solo exhibition. Looking back, it feels firmly rooted as the foundation to a lot of the work I'm doing now—swift, agile, and sentimental.

The first drawing of 2025 (that I finished like two weeks ago). I don't know what to tell you—time is a flat circle.

A photo of a gouache drawing being held by a hand. Behind the piece, you can see a studio space with other artworks and materials. The drawing is abstract with botanical and animal motifs.

Finished up a sketchbook right at the beginning of the year. Very fond of these pages.

Trying to get back into a daily drawing practice, but hot damn if it ain't laborious.

A scan of some sketchbook pages. On the left, a car exploding with smoke. On the right, cartoon paws capturing nothing inside of an upturned glass.

Hello! 👋

I'm Xavier, a visual artist based in Brooklyn.

Likes: DnD, bikes, drawing, raccoons, and flowers

Dislikes: cynicism, littering, and I'm not sold on beets

Here's a piece I finished in 2024:
"A good hat to hide from the lord."
