Artist. Writer. KILLustrator.

I draw the cutthroat and cute; the whimsical and the war-like.

And I'll do it all with a smile on my face

1.5 pages left to color. Then lettering.

I never actually thought I'd get here. I have a habit of starting a million things and logistically excusing why they can't be finished (self-sabotage). That doesn't jive well with me anymore, and this feels too right to stop.

The holidays are dying down, and while it never truly stops, the creativity is kicking into high gear.

It's wild to think the first issue of the comic I'm working on is so close to being done.

You know what? I'm really proud of this page because there's absolutely NOTHING exciting going on and I still got it done.

Self. High. Five 😁

This was a fun little break from the comic and shirt stuff.

Can't go wrong with art for art's sake.

A little closer to the completion of this madness.

After this, back to the comic.

Doing some stuff rooted in "art for art's sake."

Still doing the comic. Still designing stuff for shirts. That said, it feels good to do something just because I wanted to do it, creatively.

This may or may not have been the face I made when I saw I now gave 500 followers on IG.

...dammit it feels pretentious to say "followers," but the number does make me wonder how many will dig what I do if I stayed consistent lol #artsky #wip #art

Sleep schedule's off for some reason.

Almost jumped into a round of battlefield but decided otherwise.

Decided to let the pen take the lead and well, here it is lol.

Those insomnia sketches hit different 😂 #artsky #sketch #draw

I used to make posts like this and playfully bemoan the amount of detail I shove into an image.

For some reason that doesn't feel right anymore. I've always done high detail drawing.

Lovingly, choke on o digital receptacle of my creativity ☺️

A while ago, this seemed like an impossible goal.

Day by day, I pleasantly price myself wrong ☺️ #artsky #comics #wip #progress

Man. 9 years flew by like it was nothing. This week signalled a break from my own art projects to get my son's birthday cake design together for his bday. He's a massive Slaughter to Prevail fan (they inspired him to take up drums).

He dug the cake lol #artsky #art #birthday

So in between projects, decompression entails videogames or making assets for videogames. The game can be a mess, but I'm a fan of the creation options in WWE 2k25.

The pagoda here is stock art.

The fire is mine lol

Ohhhhh the task that is independent comic book creation.

It's a lot, but I'd be lying if I said I wasn't loving every step of it
