If you haven't read the announcement on my website, you might be wondering what Sanguine Scenario is about. It's an adventure fantasy in which 3 people with very different goals find themselves working together when they discover a conspiracy that connects everything and aims to upheave the region.

A digital illustration of two japanese lesbians flirting in a queer underground bar in the 80s. One of them wears a blue jacket, the other a suit, while in the background there's liquor and a multitude of little stickers and illustrations of lesbian and queer marks.

A digital illustration of two japanese lesbians flirting in a queer underground bar in the 80s. One of them wears a blue jacket, the other a suit, while in the background there's liquor and a multitude of little stickers and illustrations of lesbian and queer marks.

The full illustration I did for @taplingzines.bsky.social "We've Always Been Here"

The zine depicts queer couples throughout cultures and history and I had the honours of portraying a Japanese lesbian couple in an underground bar during the 80s✨

Poster for The Erstwhile Tyler Kyle. Indie Ink Award Finalist. Cryptid0hunting YouTuber investigates weird small town. DNFed in basically all other contests.

Starring characters who look vaguely like Ben Whishaw, Amanda Seyfried, Steven Yeun, and Giancarlo Esposito. "It Doesn't Matter If You Believe in Monsters When They Believe in You." Reviews: “Hypnotising and lyrical prose . . . a sort of fever dream-like reading experience.” - Esmay Rosalyne, Before We Go Blog , “It's a crime this book doesn't have more exposure.” - Al Hess, author of Key Lime Sky, and “If there were Oscars for books, this one would win ‘Best Ensemble Cast’ as well as a host of others.” - Paul, Queen’s Book Asylum. Rated R for Course language, graphic violence, graphic sex, and that one scene*
