My Bio
Greetings,
I am an illustrator and concept artist who spends their time coming up with sketches and ideas for stories, worlds, and characters. I then further develop those ideas into comics or finalized illustrations.
Growing up I was exposed to fantastical worlds in the form of books, movies, and games. At the same time, I was pushed outside to go hike in the woods from time to time. A love for both reality and fantasy, I look to explore both the worlds of the body and of the mind. What does each have to offer each other? I intend to share my findings with my art.
In order to explore, I've started to research about how we perceive our world. My current project, A Light Touch, is about (as the name suggests) light and the sense of touch. A Light Touch takes the concept of a romantic touch and creates a visual narrative based on what physiological and psychological processes might occur while visually exploring the wonder and importance of light.
Recently I have finished the requirements for a B.F.A. in Fine Arts (Painting/Drawing concentration). Now I intend to finish my Japanese Minor by studying abroad in Japan for the 2016-2017 Academic Year. Wish me luck!
Feel free to follow me on the other parts of the web:

DeviantArt Revival

It's been a long time since I've given my DeviantArt any attention. Recently, I've finished the requirements for my art degree and now summer is open to advance in my career, passions, and life in general. This upcoming academic year I will be studying abroad in Japan to work towards my Japanese minor. I am very excited for the trip. It will sure to be a great experience. I intend to keep my mind open so it may fuel my artistic endeavors.
Until I get on the plane, a summer of work, scrounging money to ensure I can eat in Japan, DnD, art, studying Japanese, family, and friends await. Lots to look forward to, lots to be involved in. Life is go

The Knight Rises, but Can I?
0 min read
I re-watched Batman Begins, inspiring and motivating me to be a better man. He found courage, and faced his fears. He created a symbol, and stood up for an ideal. He took action, and his action defined who he was. In the end, Bruce Wayne helped make Gotham a better place and helped Batman become a symbol for Justice.
The concept of a billionaire who is a genius and has a strong sense of morality dressing up in a bat costume to fight crime is fantasy at its best. He has a butler who can do the house keeping, pick him up when he is down after a fight, or stitch up his wounds. He has as many weapons and toys that he could ever want or ne

Distractions

*sigh*
I don't know what it is, but lately I've been very easily distracted. I sit down to work on homework, or a project of some sort and nothing happens. I'll get motivated for a little while, and it'll drop like crashing from a sugar rush.
There's so much to be done, and these long hours of doing "nothing" are painful. Final projects are due within a few weeks, and I don't want to procrastinate on them, but it is happening anyways.
I'm listening to epic music from FFXIII right now, all from the complete soundtrack on a playlist via youtube. I've been listening to it all day, (all 85 songs) and can't help but feel that I should be workin

I just read your journal. It is beautifully written. I have been doing art for …. a long time. I am an old lady, but I have felt those things many days. To create you need quiet alone time and sometimes we get isolated, feel out of touch, and wonder if our work or existance matters to the world.
from a purely human stance: I can say your work is an eye feast, your writing a blessing to the world. People need to know how artists think. Other Artisits need to know that they are not alone in thier fears and struggles. I encourage you to keep putting your work out to the world.
As the world sees your work you'll be crowd surfing out of that well. Lean back and enjoy the ride!
