Last December I was commissioned to create this couple's portrait in the style of the show Daria, as a holiday gift for my client's girlfriend. I love helping people share their love with thoughtful, 100% human-made art.

My 2025 was a year full of Youtube thumbnails, illustration commissions, branding projects and the release of a card game I worked on.
Happy 2026!

2025 was the year of incremental games for me! Some of my favorites included Mango's Fisharium and Keep on Mining! while other games like Bugaboo Pocket and Spilled! also charmed me this year.

I've seen it too, though I'm kinda surprised the biggest franchise is cutting those kinds of corners. Usually its to reduce back and forth revisions when there's ridiculously tight deadlines and sometimes an outsourcing language barrier involved.

A portrait of my friends Kari and Brad (and their kitty), in the style of Steven Universe.
Great friends can be make or break as we navigate the tougher times in life, and I'm so grateful for mine!

Here are some pretty renders of the packaging design work I did on the game BullShark for Wombo Combo Games!

Background art for the rectangular box by Jane Kang, character colors for the rectangular box by Caden Cheron.

Do I (or do you?) know anybody who does commissioned digital art, is available, and can (with urgency) create an incredible, soft, ephemeral magical water painting-style piece?

While I know tons of incredible game artists I sadly never paid too much attention to their waterpainterly work.

Mr Beastโ€™s recent failed attempt to sell AI YouTube thumbnails shows that creators want art made by real people. Don't replace experienced professionals with a colorful slot machine. In light of that, I'd like to remind you that I'm available to make custom illustrated thumbnails!

Neopets just released their first new pet in over a decade, so I thought I'd try my hand at an 8-bit version of the new Varwolf.
