About The Author
My focuses as a writer are: Longform novel and short form fiction prose, scripted procedural/serialized television, nonfiction prose, and analysis research essays. My preferred genres are fantasy, science fiction, horror, adventure, and romance.
I have a passion for telling layered stories with deep well written characters and rich, alive worlds. When I become attached to a concept or am presented with a literary goal, my mind never stops thinking about the sparks of inspiration I find. I am always thinking about a dozen different plots, worlds, and pretend-people in my head. I have a burning desire to not only create, but entertain. And entertain beyond the current standard.I am still developing my writing but I can provide samples of book chapters, an original tv pilot, scenes from a screenplay, short stories, poetry, and papers/essays. If an application doesn't require a sample but one is desired please contact me using the email provided below.
Any major publications will be added to this page, for now though if you click the blog button above you'll be taken to my self-publishing page of growing public works.

About The Artist
I work within the realms of concept art, fantasy illustration, character design, and fanart/fan merchandise designs including prints stickers and charms.As stated above, my mind never really stops thinking about the things I write or am inspired by. I make art from my stories, I am a narrative artist. I illustrate concepts, deign characters, present existing material in my own way. I am trying to help my audience see what I see in my mind when I describe the way a character looks as they move through the story I present, trying to capture emotion and tone that I put on the page into a visual display.

The character with the cross earring is owned by @ew.its.jenna.hart and designed from @lsk_Amil on Instagram.(Right) Winged snakes were/are a fascination of mine, this piece is a puppet show from nowhere featuring a cute "marionette" with very realistic parts.
Creating a fairground portrait scene
A process shot document showing how I compose and render a scene. This final piece was made for setting the mood for Halloween using the D&D adventure book The Light Beyond The Witchlight. While it features my original character,he is in the book's world and holding the "Witchlight Vane" from the story. I wanted something cute and fun to surprise my friends with and kick off our night on an autumnal fun note.I tried to capture the book's fey carnival themes in a Halloween package, keeping the pallet warm and slipping in tiny elements in the scarecrow's outfit like glowing moths and apple/pumpkin pins

Character Reference Process
A process shot spread of an sun priestess elf design for D&D purposes that shows the different levels of rendering I use if I want to make a piece go beyond a flat line art or basic color guide. This character is based around Greek antiquity and sun god worship, so she had a fantastical re-imagining of a tunic and has a slightly painterly render. Her jewelry/headpiece is sun stone.

Making A Mushroom Sticker
A process page of how I compose a sticker in my art style based on a preexisting piece of media.
This sticker is from Cookie Run again, this time Cookie Run Kingdom, the character is Poison Mushroom Cookie in his "Spacey" outfit.
I designed this human form of him using his dark cookie color as a guide, making the puffy mushroom gills on his avatar's head into curls and the mushroom cap into a kind of beret. I tried to maintain the original's them of psychedelic patterns by adding the blue-galaxy pattern to the hair texture.
