i'm many things, including a 20-year-old college student and aspiring comic artist, writer, and illustrator living in the upper great lakes region of north america.
i specialize in making comics and illustrating, and i primarily work in traditional mediums, particularly ink, watercolor, gouache, marker, and collage :) i aim to create art that can be described as weird, surreal, experimental, and psychedelic. my biggest inspirations as an artist include artists joaquin cocina and cristobal leon, rodney greenblat, masaaki yuasa, rammellzee, yugo limbo, eddy atoms, as well as experimental animation, early ps1-ps2 games, and surrealism in general; as well as musicians lil ugly mane, danny brown, earl sweatshirt, injury reserve, armand hammer, and backxwash.
i love my friends, experimental and surrealist art and media, comics, horror movies, fish, bugs, old video games, and exploring.
i have a general dislike for social media, hot, dry weather, and bad urban planning.
my main passion is creating art, usually drawing or writing, or a combination of the two through comics or mixed media. i'm also a beginner aquarist (keeper of aquariums as a hobby), a collector of zines, 2000s-2010s nintendo games, and hip-hop/electronic cds, an avid hiker and urban explorer, a graffiti artist, and a pretty skilled cook (in my opinion).
