"intro"

does anybody else have a sort of "comfort zone" thing they default to, whenever they start playing their instrument? for awhile, this has been mine! i don't really remember how it came to be, it just did-- i think i just wanted to play chords that i liked. i titled it "intro", since it's sort of the "intro" music for whenever i turn on my keyboard... haha!

chords below:

Abmaj11 Gbmaj11

Dbmaj13 Eb6 (add sus2)

Dbmaj11 (add b9) Ebmaj7#11

[images ID: three images of a comic titled "one must imagine sisyphus happy" by druid-for-hire. it is a visual narrative beginning with someone with wrist pain (depicted by bright orange nerves) working at a drafting table. the reader is shown the same wrist as the person uses it for many everyday tasks such as carrying a grocery basket, pushing elevator buttons, typing, and doing dishes, until the pain dissolves all the panels into chaos. the person then performs several physical therapy exercises until the pain subsides. they sit back down at a desk with their laptop, sigh, and begin typing. a small spark of pain reappears. end id]

a fun little piece i made during the semester and submitted into our school comic anthology! (which you can buy at the Static Fish table at MoCCAFest in NYC ;] ). it's about artists and injury

hi there! i'm han elliott (they/them), and i'm an artist, composer, and lover of stories. here's where you can find my work!

thanks for visiting! have a nice day.

🌈 random trivia:

✧ i’m nonbinary (leaning towards nonbinary transmasc? i call it Non-binary With Left Beef) and pansexual, but if we’re being real, i’m whatever gender or sexuality that works best for the bit

✧ i'm autistic, and some of my special interests are: animation & the industry, queer representation, psychology, digital fusion & jazz music (particularly hiromi!), the psychology of parasocial relationships, animal crossing, aaand many more things.

✧ speaking of animal crossing: i've been playing since New Leaf in 2013. my favorite villager is Diana, and my favorite NPCs are Isabelle & Flick.

✧ i've been playing piano since 2013, and it's the first/only instrument i've played! i first started learning because i saw the overly-embellished and complicated anime OP covers that animenz posted on youtube, and (ratherly naively) thought to myself: "yeah, i can do that".

✧ music is a big part of my life! i started composing in 2013 as well, when i figured out i could change the chords of the boring practice songs i was learning, by changing the positions of my hands. how fun! some of my favorite composers/inspirations aaare: joe hisaishi, hiromi, aivi & surasshu, ryuichi sakamoto, louie zong, dave malloy, kazumi totaka, fiona apple, snarky puppy, aaand many more. if you give me jazz chords, a lot of 4ths, some bleeps and boops, and it sounds Gay™️, i will probably like it.

✧ i watch way too much youtube. i love video essays, commentary, and comedy videos! my current favorite is anything Trixie & Katya. i have just about every monologue from them memorized. i can recite the Paul Hollywood monologue front to back. for better, or for worse...

✧ sadly, as expected from everything else here, i am also... a weeb. my favorite studios are ghibli, science saru, trigger, and kyoto animation. i love anything that's Gay™️. some of my favorites are: kiki's delivery service, whisper of the heart, keep your hands off eizouken!, yuri on ice, chihayafuru, great pretender, kids on the slope, skip to loafer, mob pyscho 100, mushishi, aaand... the list goes on.

✧ i love autobiographical comics & manga! some personal favorites: spinning by tillie walden, my lesbian experience with loneliness by kabi nagata, and blank canvas by akiko higashimura.

✧ i've been drawing since i could pick up a pencil, and while the quantity of art i make waxes and wanes over the years, i will never stop!

i see you

[image id: a four-page comic. it is titled “do not stand at my grave and weep” after the poem by mary elizabeth frye. the first page shows paleontologists digging up fossils at a dig. it reads, “do not stand at my grave and weep. i am not there. i do not sleep.” page two features several prehistoric creatures living in the wild. not featured but notable, each have modern descendants: horses, cetaceans, horsetail plants, and crocodilians. it reads, “i am a thousand winds that blow. i am the diamond glints on snow. i am the sunlight on ripened grain. i am the gentle autumn rain.” the third page shows archaeopteryx in the treetops and the skies, then a modern museum-goer reading the placard on a fossil display. it reads, “when you awaken in the morning’s hush, i am the swift uplifting rush, of quiet birds in circled flight. i am the soft stars that shine at night. do not stand at my grave and cry.” the fourth page shows a chicken in a field. it reads, “i am not there. i did not die” / end id]

a comic i made in about 15 hours for my school’s comic anthology. the theme was “evolution”
