Here are a few original works, posted in reverse chronological order. Click the thumbnails for the full image.

Took the drawing from a linocut print I did and colored it digitally to make a new site logo

Updated version of a “throwie” I’d made in 2017 on traditional media (Photoshop, 2021)

Quatrefoil pattern made in Illustrator, 2017

Plate for a collograph (Copy paper on cardboard with Charbonnel ink, June 2017)

I didn’t plan out the image at all; I just wanted to try the fancy French ink and was inspired by the negative shapes of punch-outs in the papers others had left in the studio. (Collograph print on Arches paper, 2017)

Hanging in this year’s Student Art Show (Linocut print, 2017)

Unfortunately right now I can’t move the little brown cabinet on the right so it’s cramping The Alchemist’s style a little bit.

A close-up with less glare.

Given Dürer’s use of prints to spread his work, I think he would’ve been into social media had he lived in this century. Also his “Self-Portrait at 26” always gave me the impression he thought he was all that and a bag of chips. (Acrylic on canvas, 2015)

Theater poster for a youth production of “Harry’s Hotter at Twilight,” a parody play. (Digital, June 2014)

Inspired by La Calavera Catrina and Dutch vanitas paintings. Exhibited at Wayne State University’s 2015 Art Education & Art Therapy show. (Acrylic on canvas, 2014)

Originally the blue pass of a silkscreen print I did in 2004. (Digital, 2014)

Poster for a friend’s poetry reading. I did not create the images, only the layout. (Made with Pages; 2014)

La Calavera Catrina takes a selfie in this modern vanitas. The font is “A Lolita Scorned” by Jovana Gaspar. (October 2013, Digital)

Sketch for an “ezara,” or a decorated plate. I must have been reading Sartre at the time. (March 2011)

The finished decorated plate. Made in Koishiwara. (Glaze on ceramic plate, March 2011)

A panel from a comic I had submitted to Tokyopop’s Rising Stars of Manga contest. My brother wrote the story, I did everything else. (Pen on paper with digital tones, around 2006.)
