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!
#artvsartist #artvsartist2025 #characterdesign #illustration #neopets #liloandstitch
Some of the games I'm most excited for while looking ahead to 2026 include Pokopia, Aniimo, Monsterpatch and Clicky Islands!
Looking ahead to the new year, my Top 4 Most Anticipated Animated Films for 2026 are Legend of Aang, Asterix The Kingdom of Nubia, The Super Mario Galaxy Movie and Hexed!
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.
Looking for a graphic designer with experience on films! Ideally located in Canada. Paid, ongoing work on an indie feature.

Hey 2D artists! JOB ALERT! ๐ฃ Especially those who do cozy cartoony or pixel art.
I have some game dev friends here in Galway from Psychic Software (Just released Necromancer's Tale) that are looking for an artist to team up for their next game.
Send your portfolio over to psychicsoftware@gmail.com
So many priceless expressions here! ๐
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 Beastโs 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!

The Moehog is one of my favorite Neopets species.
Which 8-bit Neopet should I make next?
#Neopets #moehog #pixelart #8bit
Less than a week after releasing the 56th species of Neopet, Varwolf, the Neopets team has resurrected another old April Fools design for official release! Meet the Hughman, the 57th Neopet species!
#neopets #hughman #aprilfools
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.
