We fucking warned y’all that this was the goddamned end goal for those smart glasses.

Simple digital doodle of a little round pug with fairy wings.

It’s my birthday today. To celebrate, I am sending out the Great Fairy Pug to bring you good fortune and all the treats and naps you deserve.

I am endlessly grateful for the warmth, support, and inspiration I find in this art community every day. Thank you 💙

There were unexpected complications, but I managed to save a few slices.

Title page of our paper, “The Politics of Black Classification: Sociopolitical Cues and Racial Perception,” with Lauren Davenport (Stanford) and Hunter Rendleman (UC Berkeley), dated April 14, 2026. Abstract: What makes someone Black in American society today? From Donald Trump questioning Kamala Harris’s racial identity to Joe Biden’s claim that hesitant Black voters “ain’t Black,” American politics frequently brings questions of racial authenticity and belonging to the surface. Yet political science often approaches race as a fixed attribute rather than a social construction. Here, we seek to understand how Americans define blackness in social and political life. Using a conjoint experiment with a racially diverse sample that includes Black, white, and mixed race Black-white respondents, we evaluate how ascribed and acquired traits influence perceptions of blackness. The results show that inherited characteristics—particularly parentage and skin tone, which are the strongest determinants of racial classification—play a central role, while sociopolitical cues such as partisanship, neighborhood context, and spousal race also influence racial classification. Using a continuous measure, we also show that respondents make graded assessments of blackness rather than purely binary classifications, with some individuals perceived as more Black than others. Black respondents are more likely than white respondents to classify a broader set of profiles as Black, consistent with a more inclusive understanding of racial membership, yet they also place greater emphasis on shared political identity. These findings clarify how racial categories are socially constructed and why that construction carries real political and social consequences.

This is gorgeous!!

A tiny house on a hill. There is a tree leaning out from behind and to the right of the house, a large creature behind and to the left. Birds and chimney on the roof. The chimney is missing some stones, but smoke still rises from it. Watercolor on toned paper.

Hallway sketches I did not too long ago

A brief respite from vacation posting to show off a very fun illustration @thenazavr.bsky.social and I cooked up for “swords without masters” - sword and planet style adventure with some Corben-inspired color work!

Oh yeah! This is the new business card I've been using since AwesomeCon. I'm obsessed with it. The back looks like the my profile header.

Phewww is that the truth! 😅 Ive been meaning to tell you, your artwork has really leveled up this year, wtg!

A digital painting of a blacksmith behind an anvil...wait that's the head of a hammer! He seems to be forging a candy cane in his little workshop filled with life-sized items. This is the Candysmith, a tiny Elf forging crafts out of sugar and chocolate. His shelves are filled with various candies and all around him can be seen items from the real world such as a candle holder forge, a box of matches, a pocket watch, a pin cushion, a spool of thread and some tinker toys.

A digital painting of a Water Golem rising from the sea, crashing through the path of two nearby sailing vessels. The creature is shaped as that of a man, mouth open and arms rising into the air as if this being has surfaced to take a breath of air, but the creature seems angry, as if the vessels disturbed his slumber. The water takes on a translucent green in the base of the wave and the form of the Golem rising, and a yellow light beams forth from his eyes and mouth. The sky is a brilliant cloudless blue, revealing what looks like a calm and serene day to be sailing on the open ocean.

A digital painting of a Medieval Knight cursed to bare the form of a monster. He kneels with his sword in the ground, bowing down in acceptance before the tremendous burden that would be his fate. The sword is a two-handed Claymore whose golden pommel is decorated with vines and Celtic symbols. There is a book at his side, bound by chains. The character's silhouette is highlighted by bright saturated light pouring out from a break in the clouds in a very dark and overcast sky. Stone crosses mark graves that are scattered throughout the distance. The character seems to be steaming in the cold rain, his red eyes lit with a fiery light. Dark clouds in the distance almost appear to form a set of large black wings.

A digital painting depicting a dusty leather-bound tome covered in vines on a concrete altar. The book's cover is weathered and worn, and has designs pressed into the leather. Inside of the vaguely floral border you can make out an array of symbols including a Horse's head and a Serpent among others. This ancient book is covered in years of growth and neglect, but you can clearly see the title in gold embossed lettering glimmering in the candlelight: "Camulodunum Codicis". The book is locked with a steel latch. You can see a keyhole under the vines...
