new pens, courtesy of the Sailor event at my work yesterday
A photo of four pens. From left to right: a bright orange cigar-shaped pen with silver trim, a dual-colored pen with a dusky grey cap and palest pink body, a dual-colored pen with a cream cap and bright lavender body, and finally a larger multicolored pen with at least three visible shades of green.

snek 🐍
A page from my sketchbook. The background is matte black and says “SNEK,” while the foreground features a simplistic grey snake-like creature writhing on an abstract circle of reds and browns.

recent sigils from my sketchbook
A small painting from my sketchbook. An abstract language, written in pink, crowds a messy black background. The focal point is a large black symbol that obscures sections of the pink writing. Another small painting from my sketchbook. Lines of rainbow text, written in an abstract language, cover the entire page. A large black symbol, positioned underneath the rainbow writing, takes up the upper two thirds of the piece. My fingers are seen in the lower left corner as I hold the sketchbook open.

A photograph of a notebook page with writing samples displaying writing samples for a selection of brown and purple fountain pen inks. There’s a simple black pen with gold trim resting gently on the page.

A photo of a hole that opened up for mystery reasons in the middle of the street outside our store. There is a sad traffic cone lying on its side next to the hole to warn drivers.

A package sitting exactly in the edge of a folding table. I don’t remember why I took this, and it’s unremarkable.

A pile of sad, dejected embosser samples that are so out of date that they’re completely useless.

Ok I know how to draw again, here’s a funky little guy. He’s making fun of you.
A detailed pen and ink illustration of a figure with a deer skull, and skeletal human hands, pointing and laughing with a huge open mouth.

Here’s a thing I made, it doesn’t mean anything but I like it a lot.
A traditional painting of a meaningless occult symbol adorned with eyes against a simplistic background reminiscent of topographical maps. Arrows swirl over the background and extend radiantly from the symbol.
