HistoryOne day in the early 2000’s, I went on a day trip to Modest, CA with my mom and brother. We stopped at a used bookstore, and my life changed forever.I’d found a copy of the Sailor Moon manga (the old pocket-sized editions) and have vivid memories of reading it using the headlights of cars behind us on the drive back to my hometown in the foothills of California. I ended up reading it so often the pages came apart from the binding. To say I was obsessed is an understatement.The book influenced me in a way nothing else ever had, and I started drawing my own terrible knock-offs of the Sailor Guardians in notebooks and on computer paper.I drew and drew and drew, obsessively, frantically, passionately, like nothing else in the world mattered except for what I could put onto paper. I drew for the next 20 years, stopping only once when I’d injured myself from drawing too much.My medium has changed, but I still draw obsessively. I now make my own magical heroines with their own stories, written to indulge and include my interests and explore things I wish other media had time or interest to. I even make art for other people now!Thank you for checking out my portfolio. I wouldn’t be the artist I am today without Naoko Takeuchi, Sailor Moon, and my mom (who bought me the book).

What tools do you use?
✧ Digital: iPad Pro 10.5 inch + Apple Pencil, XP Pen Artist 15.6 Pro, custom built PC that I don't have specs for because frankly it's gibberish to me.
✧ Traditional: mechanical pencils, copic/micron fine liners, and sketchbooks I get from walmartCan I commission you?
✧ Yes! Check out my commission page for information about commissions!What about requests/art trades?
✧ I don’t currently take requests, and I’m no longer doing art trades for the time being as I want to pour as much of my energy as I can into my comic.Is there another way I can support you and your art?
✧ Yes! You can always support me via Patreon or Ko-fi!!Can I use your art as an icon/pfp/etc?
✧ As long as you credit me for the art I have no issue with it being used like that.Did you go to school for art?
✧ Yes and no. I did go to art college briefly but I didn’t really learn anything that helped me with my art outside of a required life drawing class, so I still consider myself largely self-taught. I also left after about a year and a half for multiple reasons so I have no degree (just debt lmao)Can you draw X for me?
✧ If you commission me I’ll draw just about anything. I don’t do mecha, extreme gore, or nsfw art. Everything else is up for negotiation.
