Hi There!

In the process of fixing up the site, I thought of making a blog. Just to show a bit about myself, how I make art, and talk about shows I might be involved in.

So far, this is all just a work in progress. Feel free to contact or comment anything here you'd like to see. :)

I guess you might ask "Am I an illustrator?" Since you see I have more paintings than illustrations around. The answer can get complicated, but I don't make art to say nothing. Plus I did post illustrative work for so long on Instagram, so I'm too attached to the name. I love painting, don't get me wrong. But I also love making cartoony stuff and its waaay to much in my artistic roots to just stop drawing that because its not "real" or "high art."

Plus I would have to re-do my whole web media graphics. Its a huge pain and time consuming. Maybe someday, but not today. I still illustrate stuff anyways. Its just different, because well, I'm not in my early 20s. I have more things and more ideas.

And yeah, would be cool to eventually make a comic someday. Still. Just want to work more on my skills before then, and also commit to an idea first.

Welcome to my world. I'd love to share it!
