Freelance & General Illustrator (They/Them)
Hello! I am a black and queer artist based in the midwest who specalizes in color, texture, characters and concepts in art! I work mainly in Procreate, but have training in Adobe Programs - Photoshop, Illustrator, and Indesign. I also sell fanart, prints, digital and physical products, and take commissions. I've also written and illustrated a book about finding purpose in your passions - Dim Stars Still Shine Bright!

Stuff I love, I make art of!
Graphic Design!
Branded Elements!
Nintendo X GenCon Mock Poster Assets - I designed these for class assignment where we challenged to create brand assets inspired by Milton Glaser's fonts and artwork! Preceding the teaser announcement of the Nintendo Switch 2, I made these posters in the context of a Switch 2 Exhibition at GenCon. I thought the fun, bright colors of Nintendo's properties and Glaser's design sense complimented each other very well.
These posters are all 11 x 17in.
Zineducation Brand Synergy - I was assigned to build a company brand from scratch, designing everything from the logo, to typography, to brand guidelines, and to advertisements! I decided on a fake zine/ art tool distributor called "Zineducation," that made graffiti inspired zines for social and environmental justice causes! To fit in with that punk/rebellion theme, the branding elements are very sketchy and chaotic! Box Mockups were produced from Pacdora without using their AI.
Astral Graphix: Web Assets - I decided to design a fake fashion brand for my final Visual Communication Design Class! This was a massive case study in designing consistent brand elements, iconic characters, eyecatching typography, and apparel/accessory items! Clothing mockups were produced from Printful.
Character + Concept Work
Oooo, Characters....
Extra - Astraria's Heart: Character Explorations!
I did these to explore a potential, yet scrapped, game concept where jaded courier, Sage, goes against the most powerful corporation in their world. Even if it didn't come to fruition, I still wanted to display the character work I did!
