Ring - a vaguely organic tarnished golden sword. There is a circular hole in the crossguard in which there is an orrery.

Swan - a golden sword. the cross guard resembles the body of a swan with the tail going down into the tail and becoming the fuller. The neck of the swan is the grip and its head is the pommel

Owl - a steel sword. the handle is carved to look like fish swimming through water and this carving blends into the blade with the water becoming the fuller. The guard is fashioned to look like two mirrored owls each catching one of the fish. The pommel is shaped like an egg

Venom - a very thin shortsword. the grip is fashioned to look like a lily with a snake wrapping around it. the snake's head ends on the blade and its tail goes up the grip and ends up wrapping around the pommel which is fashioned to look like a lily about to bloom. there is a dark ichor dripping down the blade.

‘War and the Maiden’ is my comic for this year’s Shortbox Comics Fair!! ⚔️❤️‍🔥

It’s a 72-page, fully colored comic about the personification of war and a historian meeting in a library at the end of the world.

Watercolour and ink painting of a round, glowing, sleepy and vibrantly greenish yellow goose hanging like a berry from a brown branch with scalloped green leaves. The background is black and there are gold sparkles scattered across.

Artists are losing work, wages, and hope as bosses and clients embrace AI Visual artists, illustrators and graphic designers share their stories about how AI is being used to lower wages, degrade work and even replace it altogether, in this installment of AI Killed My Job.

Freelance illustration gigs drying up. Ad agencies using Midjourney instead of hiring human artists. Costume design turned over to AI wholesale. Good work vanishing.

These are the stories of working visual artists, who describe losing jobs, wages, and hope as their clients and bosses embrace AI.

Ink studies I made based on the paintings of Caspar David Freidrich (1774-1840).

I started these inks back in 2023; it'd been several years since I'd drawn regularly, and I was feeling stuck as to how I could get back into the swing of creating. (cont)

A lil addendum! Rather than fantasy studies based on Freidrich's paintings, these are based on his sketches and watercolors. So they're a little more simple, but were cozy to do...
