A photo of a very cluttered art desk. In the center is a bleach-splashed black tank top with a large graphic of Shadow the Hedgehog on different solid black fabric laid atop it. The Shadow graphic is sewn on with red thread all around, and white thread is in the process of being sewn onto it as well. The desk clutter includes a small sketchbook, many safety pins, a pack or gum, a leather punch, and a Knuckles the Echidna standee for holding your smartphone.

Hand sewing that Shadow graphic onto this old tank top has taken so much time and idek if it's gonna survive the wash (we shall see) BUT! it's only about half done yet already looks sick as hell

A photo of two hand painted spooky eyes. They stare directly at the viewer, menacingly. These are painted on denim, black and white, and in black voids shaped like the back pockets of pants.

I also thought it would be funny to sew patches over the back pockets of my black jeans that look like those analogue horror eyeballs. They glow in the dark too, I'm experimenting with that top coat, but can't seem to make it survive the dryer... Its like the heat ruins the glowing, idk why.

A marker drawing of a werewolf furry. It's a headshot within a green box, but the werewolf's tongue, collar, ears and liberty spikes extrude past the border. The werewolf's fur is blueish grey with red accents around its fluffy cheeks. Its hair is jet black and styled in a libery spike Mohawk. The eyes are white diamond shaped pupils in yellow irises, and orange and red sclera, all of these colours being concentric rings around the pupil. It sticks out a bright pink tongue between white sharp teeth. The collar has a somewhat phallic dog tag bearing the artist's signature. The collar itself is black leather with bright white metal spikes.

I got a really lovely set of alcohol markers for Christmas and I've been enjoying messing around with them too. I may see if I can work them into clothing designs too ... So many vibrant colours :] Here's a random furry I drew, they're a werewolf. #furry #sfwfurry #doodle

A photo of work in progress punk patches. They are painted on a thin strip of denim that is stretched over a triangular piece of glass. Designs include a heart with the text LOVE WINS around it, a peace symbol with NO WAR BUT CLASS WAR around it, a circular patch of the band L7's logo, a coffin with text on its lid reading TOTAL CLARITY (as reference to the Against Me! album), and the logo for the supergroup AxeWound. All patches are white paint on black painted denim.

A seven panel comic page depicting David Wong trying to get dressed for the day. In the first panel he peers into an empty dresser drawer and says, "Why don't I have any shirts? Where the FUCK are all my shirts?" Outside of the panel, Amy Sullivan says, "Probably in the laundry." In the second panel she is seen sitting up tucked into their bed, her back resting on a pile of pillows, a laptop in her lap. The shirt she is wearing is clearly too big for her. In the third panel, Dave squints suspiciously at her. In the fourth we see Amy again, while Dave speaks from outside the panel: "Is that my shirt?" In the fifth panel, Amy looks down at her shirt. In the sixth she looks up and says, "Maybe." David, still outside the panel, says, "Amy—"
In the seventh panel, their whole bedroom can be seen. Dave is in the extreme foreground, one hand resting on the open drawer, body twisted to face the door. John Cheese has stepped partway into the room, asking, "Hey Dave, can I borrow—" Half of his speech bubble is obscured by Dave's, as he asks, "Is THAT my shirt, TOO?"

The final three panels of the comic. In the first, John Cheese, leaning into the room with one hand on the doorway, stares at the viewer. In the second, he looks down at his shirt. In the third he is looking back up, smirking as he says, "Maybe." From outside the panel, Dave says, "You motherFUCKERS—" This is where the comic ends.

The only drawback to being the biggest guy in the polycule is never getting to wear your shirts (bc everyone else wore them first)

Digital illustration of John Cheese and David Wong at a house party. Dave stands in the foreground, in blue/green lighting, mouth open as if he's in the middle of talking. Behind him John sits at a table, lit in yellow light, staring at Dave from the corner of his eyes. Between the two figures is a screenshot of a Tumblr post from user roundo, reading "I love men that are so hairy they can't even hide it like they have hairy ass forearms and it's creeping up their wrists and knuckles and poking out the collar of their button up shirt ... your slutty whore DNA is bursting at the seams. whore." This is relevant because Dave is a very hairy man wearing a shirt with a lower neckline and John is ogling him.

A photo of a tablet screen. On the screen is an open Clip Studio Paint canvas labeled "prints (8.00 X 10.00in 300dpi 33.3% : CMYK:Agfa : Swop Standard). The canvas is full of swirling psychedelic patterns receding into a hlowokg white pinpoint. Patterns include rainbow stripes, multicolored eyes,flowers, curlicues, chevrons and stripes. Barely visible laid over the patterns is a sketch of a Black person with a short afro looking up in wonder, all patterns surrounding their form.

A nighttime photo of a parking lot. There are two empty spaces, and a single Publix shopping cart parked right on the line separating them. The cart faces the wall past a concrete lip meant to keep cars from rolling too far forward. There are green hedges on the right.

I aim to add "I AM ... ALL OF ME" in stenciled text on that lower left corner to fill space. Probably also going to paint his logo on the back with more bleach + maybe red paint if the bleach ends up lackluster.

I sort of think of myself as a very powerful engine, but I'm just sitting on a shelf. Someone please pick me up and put me to use.

If I need to be seriuos for a moment, my ideal work would be having a generous benefactor who pays me for making my own ideas real.
