The theme for Shuggah Lickurs's March party is enchanted forest, which inspired me to marry vintage fairytale book and cyber futuristic Y2K aesthetics (with some shoujo manga influences thrown in for good measure)

I really enjoyed stepping out of my usual flat color illustration style and playing with shadow, transparency and grain ✨

'why don't you post more process videos?' because when I film the process it is no longer the process, it's a performance. it's an interruption, something that breaks the flow and makes me overly self-conscious of an act that's normally very personal and natural

Starting off the new year clowning around 🤡 A circus of illusions with distorting mirrors and colorful chaos for Shuggah Lickurs's circus-themed party!

It was such a fun challenge to lean into the darker vibe and explore the limits of my visual grammar through neon sign aesthetics and distortion effects!

When you're approached with the brief "delicate and sensual orgy", the answer is an instant and resounding yes! Shuggah Lickurs brought me on board to illustrate the poster for their Olympus-themed party and I had a blast playing around with pastels and Ancient Greek motifs 🍇

In fact, I'm excited to announce that I'm joining the team as their new illustrator! So even though this particular party has come and gone, you might want to keep your eyes peeled for colorful artwork adorning the streets of Porto... 👀

all the twitter replacement apps are duking it out for the throne succession-style and I am an unwilling peasant whose crops are burning in the meantime. release me dear god. let me harvest my vegetables and sell them at the local market. I care not who wears the crown.

A portrait for a very special couple (and a very special dog!) to celebrate a very special day. Although I love to illustrate all sorts of settings, I admit few things get me as excited as playing around with the greens and blues of a nature scene! 🍃

A few months ago, I worked on this series of illustrations for a contest exploring the clash between erudite culture and the subversive culture of drag 💅

The dichotomy between the drag performers in all their gaudy glory and the oppressive respectability of the art world felt particularly fascinating to me as drag's simulation of both gender and class aesthetics simultaneously aspires and mocks the idea of opulence and glamour.

I tried to challenge myself to be bold and push character stylization. I didn't end up winning but I really enjoyed the process!
