Creatures & Monsters— Personal Art, Commissions
2023-Ongoing Ink, Paper, Print, Digital
Cute and Classic
I've developed a unique style for drawing creatures, which ironically stems from my lack of skill in drawing them. Fortunately, people have taken a shine to it.
Here is a collection of monsters I drew at the 2023 Monster Drawing Rally at MOCAD in Detroit, along with some additional creatures I've created since then.
Creatures Just... Doing Things
Personal, OngoingI utilize these to explore various shading techniques, color schemes, poses, concepts, and so on.

Wedding Gift Monster Commission
Commissions, 2023Following the 2023 Monster Drawing Rally, I was approached for a commission based on a drawing I created there. A series of five creatures were crafted and distributed as wedding gifts to the groomsmen of the groom.
