i’m an artist looking to build a full-time creative life. generally, my work explores what perturbs and what that reveals.

my focus right now is reflections on becoming yourself when the process hurts. it’s an arduous, uncomfortable - and profound process. when anyone can make anything, our perspectives define us.

this comic is loosely based on the themes of an essay i wrote last month, “the only thing that makes me scream.”

i also make companion illustrations tied thematically to these essays. my current project is the brute & bromie series, two characters i illustrate to explore & process what change actually feels like.

• 🩸 BRUTE acknowledges how brutal it can feel, or potential extremes of destructive patterns that hold you back. (so you can choose differently).

• 🌱 BROMIE is a tender reminder. permission for self-compassion, to be gentle with yourself through a period of drastic change. (it’s hard enough as it is.)

if this resonates, here are some collections you may like:

if you need them, they’re there. 🩸🌱
