These days, my hope dwindles.

I was messing around with some fun old school comic pens in ClipStudio. I've had a lot on my mind... Came up with this quote/poster idea from Daniel Quinn's Ishmael.

When society collapses, can we promise not to put it back together the same way?

Like maybe it could actually benefit everyone?

A pen drawing of a conch shell on the beach with the sun in the background.

Recent concept sketches. Thinking about light/shadow. Plus contrasting between lines in the shell vs specks of sand, reflections of water... Might turn into something bigger.

It's not really about "good" or "evil". It's about looking in the mirror.

Skulls are my favorite, if you couldn't already tell...

Ink drawing of a demonic looking human from behind. Its features are distorted around the spine and shoulders. It has a spiky bent tail and claws with blood dripping from them.

Pain Manifested (sketch)

That chronic pain turns you into something different entirely. You wish to destroy yourself and everything else, if only to get some relief.

A digital illustration of three mushrooms with tan skin, dripping rainbow colored under the caps. They branch out on the ground in interconnected multicolored patterns. The sky shows a psychedelic mandala with purple, blue, and yellow in the middle, emanating out into sun rays and a pattern of white clouds

It amazes me that such an unassuming organism can house such wonder.

In reverence to a recent journey.

Image of Asama Shrine Shizuoka by Hasui Kawase. The image shows a shrine to the left, behind a bridge and fence. There are many trees around the shrine and a sky with clouds shows above.

I've been checking out some Japanese woodblock prints lately. I did a study of this one from Hasui Kawase. Added in a few elements of my own. It took a while, but I'm happy with how it came out. I might do more like this.

I finally finished the larger version. This piece was so fun and intense. I made it as a submission to be in an addiction recovery facility. I wanted to portray the feeling of peace after experiencing something tumultuous. I hope you find it inspiring.

Back to Breath

This wandering anxious mind keeps me stuck in a loop too often lately. I'm doing my best to remember to come back to my breath.

Ink drawing of a chrysanthemum shaded using stippling. The flower has a rainbow of colored lines radiating around it.

Somewhere between order and chaos.

I can't decide if I'm satisfied with this one yet. I'll let it sit a bit and mull it over.
