Hello everyone!

Apologies for the lack of updates this past week—something personal came up, and I’ve been doing my best to recover and get back on track.

Big life update first: I’m going back to college for Communication & New Media! I’ll be focusing on journalism (and sneaking in a few creative writing classes along the way). This is a huge step for me—I honestly never thought I’d be heading back to school—but it feels like the right move to get my life moving in the direction I want.

I’ve been interested in journalism since high school. My favorite class ever was Intro to Argumentation. I just… really like debating! Not the angry kind, but the fun kind—discussing perspectives, exploring different sides of a story. So, expect to see some independent articles and think pieces popping up here on the blog soon.

Solo Flight!

I’m thrilled to announce that I’m working with Solo Flight, a new solo TTRPG quarterly subscription box! I’ll be designing the little goodies that come with each full box. There will be four boxes releasing next year, each featuring amazing indie developers, complete game kits, and some fun extras like pins and stickers.

The first box launches in April with the theme “Spring & Things.” You can choose between the base box (with just the games) or the deluxe version that includes all the goodies.

This project is going to be a blast to work on—please check it out and show it some love! My friend Heather has done an incredible job setting everything up, and I can’t wait to see Solo Flight grow.

Character Design Work

I’m also the character designer for my friend Solairia’s upcoming project! I can’t share too much yet (since it’s not my project and things are still under wraps), but I’m really excited to be involved.

I’m currently working on model sheets for the cast to help future artists with consistency. It’s a visual novel with some very unique mechanics, and both Solairia and our other writer Kamryn are absolutely stellar storytellers. I can’t wait for you all to see what they’re building.

VGen Updates

I finished one commission this week (a little late, admittedly), and I’ve got three more on my plate! I’ll share them once they’re complete. Later this week, I’ll be streaming as I put together new VGen listing examples—things like emotes and badges.

Commission guide is still going strong. Just working on formatting it a little better. I forgot I had a game this weekend, so it may be a liiiiittle late.

Also, a small update: I’ll be slightly increasing my thumbnail commission prices.

I didn’t get as much done as I’d hoped this week—it’s been a rough one—but we’re getting back into the groove. You can always check my Trello for live progress updates.

I wish I didn't have to rebuild my portfolio from the ground up. Late last year I suddenly lost an entire lifetime worth of digital art that I will never get back.

Physical Shop Update?

Slowly but surely, I’m making progress on the products I’ll be launching with! Once everything’s ready, I’ll open up preorders.

Here’s a little sneak peek at what’s coming next…

Thanks for sticking around and supporting me through all the ups and downs.

See you Sunday for the project updates!
