Hi, anon, thanks for asking. I'm not sure which image you're referencing, but I generally don't make any of my work available at full-res for any reason due to safeguard against art theft. Thanks for understanding ✌

New year, new techniques. Still pushing toward a more painterly approach and challenging myself to move away from more precise rendering. Inspired by lots and lots of pulp art from the days of yore. 🖤

Really enjoying kicking around some looser techniques and chonkier brushes. If you look closely, there's some delicious halftones in there, too. I learned and grew a whole lot in 2022, had my first serious drawing injuries (stretch!!!! please stretch!!!!!! time is a relentless and cruel mistress that will come for us all!!!!!!), and I'm looking forward to a brand new year to push myself in. ✨

The smoke let off by a crematorium? Yeah, it is. 💅

This is repaint of a portrait done in 2021 to track progress, and I'm pleased to say that improvement was not simply an elaborate distortion cooked up by my brain!! 2022 was really fruitful for me as an artist--I enrolled in classes for the first time in over 10 years, and I learned so much along the way. Here's to 2023 being another year of challenging myself to grow.
