New website! Now featuring even more of my work!

For a solid few years now I've been ideating a comic project called "The Domino Files," centering around a mid-30s poodle named Domino and their sibling Ademma. A punk-noire zine collection, "The Domino Files" will follow Domino Dog as they try to help solve problems for their neighbors, in a neighborhood where the local corrupt police are of no use (and, in fact, might be more to blame for the city's troubles than first seems…) Ademma, their little sibling, is a relative Domino used to be estranged from. They both grew up in a fundamentalist household in Scotland, and when Domino came out as transgender their mother kicked them to the curb. Domino adopted a nomadic lifestyle, eventually winding up in an unnamed American city. Upon the passing of their mother, Ademma, who had lived fearfully in the closet since watching Domino's eviction, tracks down Domino and moves in with them. Mahjong is a sweetheart, an aging drag star with a drug problem, friends with both of them. The bar they perform at is one of Domino's favorite hangout spots, and Mahjong thinks Ademma is so adorable. The two of them serve as loose mentor figures for Ademma. The story focuses on the concepts of mutual aid and community support, with especial focus on the queer community, and is a labor of love I plan to publish sporadically as DIY zines printed from my local library. These are some initial moodboard sketches for the two main characters and their pal Mahjong.

The trailer for my thesis film Memento Mori: So Make the Most of It! is now available on YouTube!

Finally had some decent weather a little while ago so I was able to get some good photos of the clothing I've made so far! More can be found on my portfolio website!

Happy 2025, this was my first art of the year!

Cube Test 1. Slowly figuring out Blender's UV mapping.

Here is a current, very rough WIP animatic of Memento Mori (So Make the Most of it!), uploaded initially for a post on Casting Call Club, but I haven't had much to share here yet given I'm in the weeds on the final touches of preproduction right now. I figured I'd share it.

Friend of mine had a wine&paint night for their birthday last night, here's mine :] Acrylic on 8x10 canvas board.

Rotoscope assignment from my VFX class. I took a lot of inspiration from Across the Spiderverse's handling of Hobie Brown's multi-media style. I would love to play around in that kind of a space more, I really enjoyed this experiment.

Learning colouring in Blender. Obviously had to test it out with the best Pokémon which is Snom as we all know

Completed turnaround for Red Reaper, showcasing her final design

These were also some prop design sketches that will go entirely unused. Red's phone doesn't really appear in the film as it's currently written; I just wanted an excuse to be neurodivergent about 90's/early 00's tech.
