Hey all it’s been a minute. It’s been a… year. Battling my physical and mental health, and trying to get my head above water in his insane country. But there’s been a palpable shift, and I’m feeling a lot of hope for the first time in a while.
Long story short, my family went through a very traumatic loss that has put a lot of things in perspective. I’ve done some job hunting this year, trying to get a leg up with no success, and the family shift has motivated me to do something radical. During the whole awful process I was stuck at a pretty terrible job that gave me no support in my grief, so I decided to cut them loose abruptly. I’ve had a couple commissions this month to give me a bump, and I’m realizing how sustainable this work is if I actually have time and I’m not burnt out after work. So rather quickly, I’m doing art full time!
I’ve never been a very spiritual person, but the energy shift I felt last week was incredible. I emailed half a dozen local shops asking them to shelve my books, and discovered a local Animal Rescue that rents retail space to artists. The collection is curated to art involving nature and I feel so welcome among this group of artist.
If you’re in the Fredericksburg area, the shop is called Awesome Possumz, and I’ll be doing a grand opening on Saturday, August 10 from 2pm-4pm. I hope to see you there!

But to make the News even bigger! I’m also opening Commissions! I want to draw your D&D characters, illustrate for your books, and most of all Design Book Covers! If you have any questions please dm or email me with the info below.
And of course my whole library is available online here:
