Illustration of a black shadowy creature slowly walks out from the darkness of the forest. Their gaze is fixed on you and you are paralyzed to move.

Illustrating stories about characters that stand up to power is so fulfilling. There's a reason why those kinds of stories evoke so much passion, and there's a reason why most people inherently root for the marginalized.

Three deer are lined diagonally across the canvas. The first deer is a pale skeleton, the second a dark apparition with coiling smoke flowing from it's body, and the third is a translucent skeleton. The deer are linked by a strange smoke that flows through their eyes, and the tines of their antlers are interlocked. This drawing was inspired by Pneuma by Tool.

Danny & Ross commissioned this scene depicting a tender moment between their dragon OCs - a white fusion calathea inspired dragon and a beetle inspired dragon. The larger dragon, Queen Belit, gently caresses her lady in waiting, Cricket, putting weight on the leaf to draw her love closer

A portrait of a mule deer lifting it's head towards the sky. An eerie green smoke emanates from it's eyes, nose, and mouth.

An illustrated scene featuring MelinoΓ« the enoki. A mortal obsessed with magic and the occult has finally managed to summon a demon. Mel walks around the dimly lit room - amused by all the objects and trinkets in this mortal's collection. She picks up a wolf skull and smiles at it. This mortal certainly did their homework. This artwork is a commission for Slithice Cultist.

A black and white illustration of a crying woman with long, wavy hair. Her face is peaceful even though she appears to be bleeding out from a wound on her neck.

A poster I created back in 2012 as a submission to the Art Institutes contest that year.
I was trying to convey what a walk in the woods can feel like when you are paranoid and hallucinating.
This is why there are so many eyes watching here and there throughout the piece.
For as long as I can remember, I've always felt like I was being watched.. even alone in the forest.

I call upon the spirit of the Snake.
I call on the primal & healing forces you carry.
I call on your intuition & your heightened senses.
Help me remain pressed close to the present so I might experience this existence directly.
I ask you for transformation.
Help me shed that which I have outgrown..
