My artwork includes traditional and digital media. My traditional artwork is predominantly done with alcohol markers and ink pens (see three images below), with the occasional gouache painting and graphite drawing.
The Fairy Queen from Barbie in Swan Lake.
Hornet from the video game Hollowknight.
Magi from Ferngully.
The red form of my colorful mermaid line. Her serenity seems to call to people, as many tell me that she brings them peace. I've heard some say they have hung her image beside their mirror, as a sort of message of tranquility as they start their day.
Green she may be, but not from envy. This mermaid brings a smile to those who view her joyous visage, earning her the place of my most popular original piece (not fanart) sold at conventions.
The result of a fixation in children's book illustration style.
Most commissions that I have received over the years are of existing characters, and I have found joy in seeing the different ways people want their favorite characters portrayed.
Sometimes the characters I already know and love, and other times I get to dive into a new fandom to learn about a character I didn't know.
I enjoy perusing the internet for the perfect pose reference for couple portraits. It can be a timely back-and-forth with the commissioner, but it generally proves to be enjoyable and occasionally enlightening about the personality of the couple.
I did a few minimalist style polaroid commissions, which was fairly different from my usual style.
When I was in middle school we had a section of art class that focused on the Pacific Northwest Indigenous art, and I find myself occasionally fixating on this form of design to this day.
If you are interested in authentic versions of this style, looking for "Haida/ Tlingit Art" can provide a good start. I have not studied this style deeply and am not a good source of information orĀ genuine works from this community.
I enjoy the juxtaposition of nature and industry that art surrounding fairies can generate. One can focus on the naked and natural beauty of tiny humanoid creatures existing with the natural world, and wonder about fairies using teacups as baths for relaxation.
There is something about mixing the mundane image of a cup with the fantastical presence of fairies that brings me joy.
I've started trying to base my fairies' wings off of real world butterflies and moths. I've incorporated two of these fairies in my art fight OC portfolio starting in 2025. I'd love to see your attacks with them in next year's art fight!
