I made some digimon art, thought I’d share.

Flamedramon was always a favorite of mine.

I’ve been getting into and enjoying playing the Digimon Trading Card Game.

The game uses a pretty cool shared resource system between players, if you havent played it yet, check it out.

I heard this once...

"As the artist you see the work needed to create, as the viewer we see only the final completed work."

Not sure who said it but feels very true to me, I think its why many artist think the work is never completed.

Also this is awesome, love the shadows!

I’ve been working on a few side projects as I have been dealing with some personal loss, I wanted to channel some of that into some new creative outlets.

This is a preview of a short science fiction story set 100 years in the future, hope it’s something you’ll give a look.

I love watching Bobs Burgers while I cook Thanksgiving dinner. Makes me feel better when I talk to my food.

Right, I dont think this a diss, more like a acknowledgement of the irony.
