These are my art projects! I do art in a variety of mediums from film photography, to digital art, to making my own clothes sometimes! Here you can find finished works of art and a bit of explination about them! These are not uploaded in any specific order, so there is no chronological method to looking at these (the file names show the date they were made, but it really does not matter) so if you are hoping to see how my art evolved, this is not the best way to do it. I feel like I need to warn you that a lot of my art has "morbid" themes to it, and I recognize that people can be sensative to imagery like that. So this is your warning, if you are sensative to themes of death, blood, skulls, and things of that nature I would avoid this page in general.
If you are looking for my vector images, there are a lot more of them and I created a seperate page for those.
These are my telegram stickers. I wanted to try my hand at making some stickers for telegram, and in the process I started a small weekend project that spiraled out into two different concepts. While these are older, I am not totally satisfied with them and think about updating them on occasion. So there may be more of these posted here in the future!
These are my hellhound gifs! After the pixel art telegram stickers, I decided I would try my hand at a larger project, and I wanted to test out how animation works! So I made some simple GIFs of decaying hellhounds. I know that a lot of work tends to be a lot more "morbid" in nature. So if these things bother you, feel free to ignore these.

This project took a few months to finish. I am really proud of this one, and I put a lot of effort into it. I drew inspiration from images of coyote skulls and computer parts. I was in the middle of building a computer and watching a nature documentary when I got the idea. I love the idea of mixing the digital with the organic. I remember feeling really depressed and exhausted when I made this piece. Because of this, the text at the top of the work says "Equal in Death", which is the title of the work. I then took the original drawing and edited it in GIMP. The white half represents life, completelness and stability. The inverted half represents depression, pain, and a feeling of loss or incompleteness. This is a very emotional work for me, and I really hope that everyone can see the emotional inspiration for it.
This is my physical art that I have made. These consist of model kits, most are unpainted and still in progress. I know I am slow to complete projects, I am sick a lot and usually busy. I love my model kits, and right now I have three models. Two of them are unfinished, my Osprey and Patton tank are still works in progress. My Panzer IV command tank is finished but unpainted. I did modify it with other parts, and it isnt historically accurate because I liked the Panzer IV Auf. H cannon better, so the turret is technically incorrect for the model. But thats the fun of model kits, I get to build whatever I like and no one can stop me! Enjoy your art friends, and do what makes you happy!
In the past I have made a pearler decoration for my wall. I chose to make a flopy disk because I think that retro technology is pretty cool, and I am old enough to remember checking out floppy disks from my local library to transfer files. I know to some people that seems like the stone age, but I have really fond memories of it and I love my old technology. My first computer was a Comodore 64, and my first video games were on cassette tapes. I am not old enough to have been around for its release mind you, but we found one at a garage sale for 10 dollars and I was over the moon about it. When I took my first computing class in middle school they had to take extra time to teach me how to use a GUI and windows because I was so used to having to type commands to the computer. So that was the inspiration for this piece. The writting is supposed to be the japanese translation of the word "Halo". Halo Combat Evolved was the first video game I ever fell in love with, and it only felt right that it should be on this work since its a sort of personal history. I dont speak Japanese, I just think that the writing looks really neat and future-y, likely because I grew up on dystopian sci-fi movies. This one is now framed and hanging on my wall, eventually I plan to get more pearlers and make more art with them! It was really fun and easy, and gave me something to do while I was recovering from surgery!
My grandfather was by far one of the most influential people in my life. He was kind, hard working, and an amazing person. His hobbies were limited only by how fast he could buy a new book and the basement was a makeshift workshop that he spent almost all his free time in. The last thing we ever built together was his computer, which the computer I have been coding this website on. He took one look at the gaming computer I built for myself and was absolutely obsessed with it. He wanted one for himself, so we built one for him. He had no idea what he was doing, but I know now that he was aware his end was coming closer and he simply wanted to spend time with me. When he died, I got the computer and have made upgrades to it over time. But his origninal hard drive has never been touched. I wanted to preserve that part of him. His curiosities, his ideas, his notes, game progress, and more. So I took the hard drive apart and framed it. It has been a permantent fixture on my wall since. Currently, it sits on the wall in my dining room, facing the dining table, as the only thing the man valued more than the pursuit of knowledge was a good meal. It felt wrong to keep it anywhere else. And now, every time I sit down for a meal, it feels like I am a teenager again, pooring over magazines with him and discussing projects while we have dinner. I miss him every day of my life. But this is the best way I could ever think to remember him and preserve his memory.
I like to think my grandfather would love to see how far I have come. I think he would be proud of the dog I am today, and that he would adore the things I have managed to build and what I have accomplished. I love you grandpa, and I miss you dearly.
