Moody pieces that perhaps unearth primal, knotted up feelings inside, or get you to create a narrative; those are works I want to create. These pieces have an ominous, haunting music or sound to them if you look at them long enough.

Art has saved my life many times before — so if my art makes someone’s day better, if it moves them, if it makes them laugh or smile, I feel as though I’m paying back the favor for all the times it helped me.

The DCST Cast!: This is fanart of my favorite show, Dr. Stone! During this quarantine, the show has helped me connect with other fans and create/share content with them.

Audre Lorde: Lorde is an inspiration for me and many young LGBTQ+ folks, particularly among Black LGBTQ+ youth. This was drawn for Bergen’s PRIDE club!

Fausta: Fausta is the main character of a famous Peruvian movie, The Milk of Sorrow. As a young girl I could relate a lot to her, so I drew her in one of my favorite scenes!

Marsha: Marsha P. Johnson is also an inspiration of mine. Credited for being an instigator in the Stonewall riots, I just had to draw her for Bergen’s PRIDE club too!

Dragon: A character from the manga, Banana Fish. He’s one of the main antagonists, but as you get to know him, you learn that there’s more than what meets the eye.
