art done while afk (away from keyboard)

This project is still a WIP, but I made this poetry zine back when I was in school in 2019 and it was sort of my grad project. It's based on weird memories I have of playing World of Warcraft for the majority of my life. Currently I'm reworking it to include landscapes from WoW that I've drawn in my own style.

I drew this back in 2021, but this is how I look 90% of the time, regardless of the time of year, aside from the eyeliner.

This is a silly comic about the 'dangers' of making a cucumber salad.

A small illustration I made based on a true encounter I had with seagulls after a job interview.

One of my favourite illustrations from my Spooky Stories zine.

I did this illustration based on a project I was a part of in 2020 during Covid, where I designed and made a bunch of cards by hand and gave them out for free via my closest Little Library. This drawing includes some fairy houses and hidden notes that reflect the other participants' pieces for the project. I really love the vibe I captured in this!

This is the first zine I ever made back in art school in.. 2018, I believe. I still love the cover page, but I'm currently reworking the inside text (and possibly the images) of the zine. These are all stories based on my real experience growing up and reading way too much about aliens, ghosts, and cryptids.

This is a self portrait I did back in 2022. Love the colour palette! Idk that this really looks like me but I still enjoy it.

One of my first ever comics and still one of my absolute faves!! This is a short little comic based on my camping experience with my long-time long-distance friend back in highschool. I absolutely want to do more comics + zines in this style, because damn I love the texture that pencil crayons give.

Here's the sketch and final illustration featuring my real-life bathtub. Not featured: all the mold and broken tiles lol. This is for a zine that I'm making focused on my adoration of weirdly coloured tubs, sinks, and tiles of bathrooms in older homes. I really love how colourful our tiles are, even if they don't look "modern".

This is a self-portrait of sorts, though it was mainly done to illustrate my ideal placement for my tattoos. It's just a sketch, but I love how textural I made my shirt!

This is a piece I did back in 2020 on Procreate with an iPad so old it could not recognize pen pressure lol. It was done for an art-fight event and even though it's not a self-portrait, it sort of feels like one. It's meant to be a drawing of my druid character Rhowyna. I have so many thoughts and stories about and for Rho that I have not shared with anyone yet, but hopefully one day you will see them!

So I've had this alien character, Johnny USA, kicking around my brain for a few years now, but I think he may need a re-brand / re-name considering everything that the USA is doing and stands for. Idk if his renaming will be a comic in itself, but it's something I'm thinking of. Just a note: his interest in the US and NY (in this image) are just ways that he is trying to blend in with humans and (truly) not a reflection of his (or the author's) love of the USA. Re-brand imminent.

This is one of my favourite characters that I want to do stuff with. His name is Pizzaman and he's based on this random drawing (2nd image) that I drew pre-Covid. I really liked the idea of having a slice of pizza for a face and gave him a Hawaiian shirt, because Hawaiian pizza lol. Expect to see more of him!

This is an old comic I made that I'd like to fix up! It's based on the Christmas that I asked for World of Warcraft, then found the receipt for it on the floor, and essentially spoiled my own Christmas lol. Still memorable, because WoW is still a go-to game for me!

This is one of the incomplete versions of this illustration, but I kinda like the texture I added to my shirt here.. I drew this for a non-fiction zine I'd like to make about growing up with a long distance friend. Me and her are still friends and still long distance lol.

Made this zine last year about my cat and her love of weird snacks (for a cat anyway lol). Don't know if I'll make these in colour or not, but I do love adding pencil crayon to these!
