“My son, I have nothing I can give
But this chance that you may live…”

My first piece of #OddworldFanArt ever! I was watching “The Prince of Egypt” when an idea came to me. Hope we get to see Abe and Sam reunite in the future!

Better late than never! Most of my recent work is under NDA at the moment, but I thought I’d share the work I’m most proud of for #PortfolioDay.

I’m a 2D background artist with a knack for whimsical and spooky things, and I’ll be available for freelance or in-house work in late May!

“Checkmate, Dorito Boy.”
“WHAT!?”

I bet Darcy and Bill would have some interesting conversations.

Who doesn’t love a good crossover? Another older piece from X I’m pretty proud of. #gravityfalls #billcipher #amphibia #darcywu #fanart

“You’ve met with a terrible fate, haven’t you, Marcy?”

Since I’m gradually becoming more active on BlueSky, I’ll be posting art I used to share on X to here. Here’s a piece of #amphibia fan art I’m still very fond of, heavily inspired by Majora’s Mask. #marcywu #darcy #fanart

Thanks,Jimmy, for everything. The world is better and brighter because you were here. I don’t know if we’ll ever see anyone like you again, but until then, we will to do our best to emulate you and all the good things you stood for. May heaven and Rosalynn receive you with open arms. #jimmycarter
