2025 limited color group commission Inside a smokey dining room aboard a river boat pirate ship, a group of adventurers blow off steam. From left to right, an anxious squirrel has drunken to excess, a spirited otter teases them and toasts.

2025 - crop from a limited tone fantasy family portrait Two adventurers walk in the rain on a board walk in the woods, one with a bow at the ready, the other excitedly pulling her close. Their cat looks towards the foreground, where a dragonfly rests on a flower.

2024 full color commission perched on a dumpster, a wolf in a heavy coat uses a small chunky laptop. Power lines extend into a rainy multicolored light shadow of a city behind him.
