Candlelight & Token, published by Glowing Roots Press, 2020-2021.

covers & interior illustrations (left, Forest Angel for Candlelight; right, Nest for Token)

some of my favorite illustration work from the past few years has been for TTRPGs with Gabriel Robinson - Candlelight in 2020 was really my first foray back into ink painting after a long time, & now i can’t get enough of it. very excited for an upcoming project with Gabriel that we can’t quite talk about yet, but i can promise more of this mood.

the torso of a cow, with blood dripping from the stumps of its severed limbs & head, floats against a smoky backdrop above a magic sigil on the groundALT
a robed and hooded figure with insect wings, whose face emits light and shows one large black eye, sits in front of a twisted tree with paper amulets hanging from its branches. in the background is a field of flowers.ALT

Summoning & Wraith Tree illustrations for The Academy Chrysalis by Pluripotent Press

more moody ink paintings for a game with a great “dark academia” setting. you can hire me to paint floating dismembered bovines anytime!

an ink painting portrait of an Afro-Latinx transfemme person with a shaved head and full beard, wearing dangling earrings, two necklaces, circular glasses & a print top. she is surrounded by a floral border with ribbons of fabric hanging down from the bottom.ALT

Portrait of Noèl, 2017

still one of my favorite portraits i’ve ever done! a friend & former student of mine who is now an incredible fashion designer. from her Design Museum profile:

Today, Noèl is a Mexico City-based artist interested in shifting perceptions of intimacy and revitalizing a sense of fantasy through the dissection of queer and Afro-Latinx identity through clothing construction, mixed media installations, fiber practices, and video. Her work centers the power of physical touch and moves through a romanticized reality of the discarded. She poeticizes the relationships of her Dominican elders and her own stories of existing as a queer, fat, femme, racially ambiguous, trans person.

she’s currently raising money to build a foundation for her clothing brand & you can help out here!
