T-shirt design for an art handling workshop hosted by my new supervisor :)
Digital Illustration of a clown woman sweating as she tries her best to juggle tools with a smile on her face. The tools include a bubble level, glassine roll, a hammer, and pencil tucked in her ear. All of the tools have little faces on them. A tape measure is unfurled into a circle around the clown, with the text “ART HANDLING PROFESSIONAL” resting on the tape.

View from Ship Harbor Trail in Maine- October 17th, 2025
A digital illustration study. A cliff juts up into the foreground. Separated by sea is a rocky island covered in evergreen trees. farther across the ocean we see the silhouette of another island and the gentle blues of a bright sky swirling in the atmosphere.

Last Wednesday Morning...🤧
1 page comic titled "Nosebleed". Panel 1: The main character (OP) is just waking up from bed. They are yawning and thinking, "Wonder why I'm up so early...Maybe I can take this extra time to draw before I have to get ready for work..." Panel 2: A close up on OP. They look incredulous, sniffing once. "Wait..." they think. Panel 3: They sit up in bed. A stream of red blood dripping from their nose, with a "plop" sound. Panel 4: Setting change to the bathroom. OP sits on the edge of the bathtub right across from the toilet and sink. A tissue is stuck in their nose and theyre holding a bloody tissue in their hand. The narration reads: "For the next half hour, I was in the bathroom replacing toilet paper from my nose."

wasn't AS happy with the one on the left but it was an accepted challenge!
Portrait practice of two women of color using paint markers. The left has high cheek bones and red lips with tight red and black curls while the one on the left has a rounder face, black lipstick and a black and blueish afro. Both portrait references are found in the book "All About Love", a collection of art from the artist Mickalene Thomas.

tough love for the constant criers (me @ myself)
Illustration of a girl wiping her tears in one hand and holding a grenade in the other. The text “Get a Grip, Girl!” is drawn into the illustration with varying typography. “Get a” is written as if made of water. The grenade has a heart pin and reads “Grip”. “Girl is written in pink with slender, long strokes.

Oh im done fiddling with their designs this is IT #ocsky
Fullbody reference of Aaliyah Vitrium, a Black-coded character with two toned hair and crystal limbs. Along with the design is a brief profile: Bold, kind and outgoing, Aaliyah is the type of person that keeps moving forward. She’s also quite persuasive and likes to understand people, as she’d rather solve her problems with compromise rather than fists, but sometimes she can be rather oblivious as well. She refuses to let go of the dream she’s had since she was a little girl- to not just be a hero, but the superhero. Her unique physiology makes her able to withstand copious amounts of force in order to reflect it back on enemies. Basically- you hit her, and she’ll hit back. Harder." Fullbody drawing of Cole Merriweather, a masculine character with tan skin and goggles. Along with the reference is a brief profile: "Once a greedy mercenary who only cared about himself, a lost bet with Aaliyah forced Cole to become her heroic partner. Now, he’s a greedy hero who only cares about himself…most of the time. Pragmatic, cynical and clever, his current situation amuses him enough to continue forward, but his empathetic nature is slowly causing this “schtick” to grow in earnest. Along with elite combat skill, Cole has a form of telekinesis- attracting and repelling objects to him and in some cases manipulating objects to mimic gravity."

Holographic sticker of aaliyah with a matte laminate. In the sticker, she is holding out a peace sign to her forehead. Another angle of the Aaliyah sticker in order to express its holographic quality.

#ocsky
Colored sketch of Aaliyah and Cole. Cole, who is currently suffering from some injuries is being embraced in his bed by Aaliyah. He looks surprised and slightly disturbed. Aaliyah, on the other hand, is smiling sweetly and with relief. Her dialogue reads; "If you do that again, I'll kill you myself ❤️"

throwback to over a year ago when @Ko-fi.com commissioned me to make a banner hehe
5 Black characters are posing in front of a painted brick wall. They are all smiling and enjoying each other's company, with outfits that follow a palette of punk, blue, and purple. Some are holding white mugs with pink hearts.

#ocsky
Aaliyah is on her hands and knees, looking up in distress at a scene that is beyond the scope of the illustration. She looks battered and bruised, and she is being shrouded in the light of a crown she does not want. The crown is not on her head, instead it is being held above her by a masculine figure who's face is not shown.Their forearms and part of their face is freckled with stars. The illustration itself is a vivid, nauseating palette of bright purples, blues and magentas swirling together.
