A poster series I made of my original characters (Naia, Zephyr, and Sage) as a character development and world-building exercise!

"Zen Garden": Watercolor and ink on paper, 9in x 12in, Dec 2019.

A watercolor still-life I did of my sand garden.

Image description:
inside a small sand garden, a ceramic chickadee, a crystal alligator, a polished/marbled stone turtle, and a stone statue of Buddha rest beside one another. A wooden rake rests among its gentle marks in the sand. On the right side of the sand garden, rests a flat, polished Petoskey stone and a group of pebbles.

"Dreamland Wonder": Watercolor and ink on paper, 11in x 15in, Mar 2021

A sequential art piece as part of my comic development!

Image description: all of the images are set on a galactic pink and purple backdrop. (left-right) a little boy rides a translucent, sparkling magic carpet with his pit bull and cat. All 3 are wearing capes. A magenta phoenix appears and flies above them, they look up at it in awe. They follow the phoenix on their magic carpet when suddenly, they fall off! But then they realize they can fly like the phoenix!
The bottom of the page has a monochrome warm brown color scheme. The boy fell asleep while reading a book. He is cuddled up with his pit bull and cat, both also sleeping. In the bottom left corner, we see part of the torso of an adult holding a sippy cup. The child is dreaming up all these magical adventures.

"Elbe": India ink on paper, 18in x 24in, Jan 2020

An ink painting done in memory of Elbe, a dog I was very close to who passed away.

Image description: a grayscale painting shows a large border collie with angel wings, holding a toy bumblebee. A girl stands under the border collie, nuzzling against her snout.

"The Snail and the Strawberry": Watercolor and ink/marker on paper, 18in x 24in, Nov 2019

A piece I made inspired by a photograph linked below.

"The Trident": Procreate (compiled in Adobe Illustrator, 1600 x 1100 px, Jan 2021.

Commission for twitch icons. This client's username is inspired by Neptune, and he already had a good idea of what imagery he wanted!
