my capstone project from a year ago! i did ~30 pages of the graphic novel i've been planning/working on, Distress Signal, then printed them out and hand-bound them into three little booklets.

i'm still really proud of this, even if i think when i pick up working on it again that i'll probably at least partially redraw these pages.

"pocket change," a watercolor pencil drawing from fall of 2021! for a zine a club at the uni i went to put together. the theme was 'receipts', so i literally just dumped out the shit in my bag and drew it lol.

MORE PRINTS. can you tell i’m enjoying my printmaking class lol (and also that it’s the only class i’ve made finished work for so far). these were monotypes and our most recent project, i’ve been super stressed lately and i wanted to make some nice cute fluffy work, so: cats and cakes!

another woodcut from earlier this semester. this was our first project, we were asked to make a PSA style woodcut! i think wasps are underappreciated so i made mine about them

[festidae]

wow long time no art! woops! i’ve been pretty busy this semester so i haven’t had a lot of time to make art outside of class, and i’m pretty bad about photographing my physical work. here’s some reduction woodcuts from earlier in the fall!

hey i thought you ought to know you're how i found out about the bifrost incident like uhhhh 2 1/2 years ago and that has permanently changed mine & my friends' lives for the better :] aka we all know about the mechs now and love bifrost more than is probably normal. so, thank you!

oh hell yes, i'm so glad to have introduced you to such an amazing band & album!!!! it's been a bit since i've listened to the mechs but them (and especially tbi) have such a special place in my heart <3
