Subconscious Realms

My signature ‘Deskscapes’ are back in stock with some new designs!
These desktop statement pieces are some of my favorite works, especially for those with limited wall space, these work great for brightening up any space.

It’s been a little while since I featured my moving Majora’s Clocktown Shadowbox! This is still one of my favorite pieces that I got to collab on with Esclair Studios. It also jump started my line of moving Shadowboxes that I have been working on exploring.

I’m in Syracuse this weekend for RetroGameCon! If you’re in the area come check it out - I’m in the artist alley table T21 with Desk Mats, Shadowbox Art, and Standees!

As always, today is a good day to support artists, writers, creators. If you have the means, maybe consider signing up for a Patreon. Buy a book, a game, a painting. Commission a new piece. Tell a creator what they mean to you. Signal boost their work.

Happy 5th Anniversary to Genshin Impact - this game will always be special as it was a great escape during the pandemic. Exploring and figuring out the environmental puzzles are some of my favorite parts of the game.

In Salt Lake City this weekend for FanX! Come find me in the Artist Alley, table 508 near the front entrance. I’ve got several new designs this year including Outer Wilds, Expedition 33, Final Fantasy 14, map of the grand line, and more!

'Ignis' from my Elemental Rift series was my excuse to explore the fire element. The series started off as a fluke with me wanting to explore unique shapes as an art constraint and expanded into a neat little series. I’m still unsure if I want to add another element...

That was such a fun weekend! Thanks again for stopping by!

Ahhh that is so cool to hear! Thank you for the support!

I can't believe it has already been 5 years since Hades came out!
I remember fondly the first time I played through the game. Exploring the Underworld was so mysterious and immersive. Still to this day, one of my favorite commissioned projects I got to work on was this Hades Artwork.

I can finally reveal one of my newest shadowbox designs!

Over the past few months I have been working on a commission for this Amaurot working clock shadowbox! It was a lot of fun focusing on one of my favorite areas in Final Fantasy XIV!

I have been working on an illustration but I am bad at social media and posting wips and such so forgive me!!!

I am just meant to emerge every couple of weeks and present my work and then disappear again like some sort of art hermit. Or groundhog. Art groundhog. That seems more fitting.

Clockwork City Original Artwork

'The Clockwork City' - This piece is still one of my all time favorite original works. I explored intricate clockwork mechanisms and steampunk themes and it was easy to get lost in the details. Available as a Print, Desk Mat, and moving Shadowbox Art.

Here is a sneak peek of a new Desk Mat design that I’ve been working on for the past few weeks! This will available online later this month!

Ah thank you so much!

Expedition 33 Shadowbox Art

My new Shadowbox is now available! The continent from Expedition 33 was one of my favorite places to explore and I am so happy to finally show off this project that I was commissioned over the past couple months.

Here’s a peek from one of my original moving Shadowbox artworks! Not only does the mysterious orb move and rotate, the background sky changes from day to nighttime on a 12 hour cycle!

Finally finished my ‘Natlan’ layered landscape!
I enjoyed this region a lot more than I thought I would, and I was so drawn into the storytelling with the different tribes. This piece features 15+ locations including all the native tribes, as well as several hidden details!

Thank you so much for stopping by and for the support!

My favorite find from the new Artist Alley at #SGDQ2025 is this amazing OoT 3D art scene by @subconsciousrealms.bsky.social . OoT has always been my favorite game and seeing this amazing hand created piece was something I knew I needed. Thank you subcrealms, and @gamesdonequick.com for doing this!💚

I’m at Summer Games Done Quick this week! Super excited to be a part of their first artist alley ever and it has always been a dream of mine to attend in person and see the runs live! Come see me if you’re in the area, floor 3 by the main events room!
