Posca paint marker pieces | 2026

I don't see your signature on the piece they reposted, so I'm not sure if it's cropped or if they made a mistake. I wanted to ask if you recognize the work cause I want to find the actual artist if it's not yours.

Btw your art is also beautiful, especially the one that blog mis-attributed to you! Whether mistake or not, I'm always happy to find artists whose works speak to me <3

Thanks for reaching out about this. This is my piece called "The Monstrous Countenance of Elusive Sleep," from 2016:

This is what @pmamtraveller attributed to me:

It looks like they used Google AI overview to attribute the work, because right now it is indeed confidently stating that these are the same artworks. A quick search on my part found another reposter on Twitter attributing this to a Seiho Suzuki, who does not seem to exist. But Seigo Suzuki does!

This appears to be the original work. I can't say for sure it's by Seigo Suzuki because I can't find it on a website or social media account he runs, but it does look like his style. It looks to me like the red signature stamp says "鈴" or "suzu," but I can't read Japanese so I could be wrong.

Editing of pieces (?!) and misattribution is very frustrating for artists, and given the language barrier between English-speaking and Japanese-speaking internet, Mr. Suzuki has no recourse to protect his work (if it is his work) from being chopped up and reposted and attributed to random American artists. If this was my work I would be livid. However, I am happy to find a new artist I can follow.

( Also jsyk I worked in a comic store for 5 years and you are one of my favorite artists! The first of your work I saw was in the Jim Henson Fairies collection and it really blew me away, I've been following your stuff since then & I'm always excited to see what you do next! <33 )

Probably not, to be honest! I don't plan on doing another run of it, and with just a few copies it's not worth setting up a storefront.

Thank you for giving me an excuse to talk about DnD!

I think working in different styles is perfectly normal. I do so as well, I just generally don't post things that don't fit into my illustrator "brand." But if you aren't trying to become a professional illustrator, I think having a consistent style is overrated.

This is a tiny Posca marker piece from 2023. This isn't professional work, it's just for fun.

Here's a comic page I did for Charlesbridge Publishing in 2024. I don't usually use lineart anymore, but I had to for the sake of expediency on this project.

Thank you!

I sell prints of my work through my INPRNT shop! My Tam Lin zine was only ever available at MoCCAfest 2017-2018, and I'll be selling the last few copies this Saturday Nov 1st at the School of Visual Arts's Graduate Student Fair at 136 West 21st St. If you are in the NYC area, I recommend stopping by 12-5pm to snag one!
