An eerie orange and black illustration shows a tall, skeletal robot-like figure offering a small blue lollipop to a human child sitting in a barren landscape. Behind them, smoke rises from a burning structure where shadowy figures move with torches. A solitary leafless tree glows beneath a pale sun. The scene evokes a mix of tenderness and dread, underscored by the surreal contrast of the bright blue lollipop. The artist’s mark “No” and the website “IONO.CA” appear in the lower left corner.

A surreal pink and purple illustration featuring three mannequin-like figures fending off invisible rats with swords made of sound and light. Crackling white letters spell robotic noises—“WHI-R-R-R!!” and “CLiK CLiK”—like a mechanical sea shanty cutting through the air. A dark window glows with two shadowy figures inside, a small yellow star above them, and a lone boat drifts across the upper night sky. The text below tells of Andy, a robot, keeping rats out by singing and stabbing them with a little sword he calls his “pickle.” In the upper left corner, the artist’s mark “No” appears above the website “IONO.CA.”

Illustration of the show twin peaks. The setting is inside the black lodge, next to a lamp post with a strong light source is a statue, two hands in a strange formation & a cup of coffee turned upside down pouring out. Underneath is dale cooper walking next to a mirror image of himself. The doppelgänger is looking at the viewer with one shining eye. At the top left and bottom right corners are a symbol of two triangles, representing the two mountain peaks of twin peaks

Illustration of Mary, Maria, and monster Mary from silent hill 2 - they're all in contained rectangular shapes. Maria is upside down in a cage, mary is just her clothes rotting on a bed, and monster mary is shown as herself.

Illustration of two panels like a comic, the edges are all pearls. On the top left is a bouquet of pink garden roses with blood dripping into it and overflowing out the side, beginning to drip outside the pearl frame. The right shows a lipstick dripping into blood on a hand with pink fingernails. The top right corner shows a pair of lips with shiny red lipstick. The background features purple barbed wire & sparkles on a black background.

Thx! Still a work in progress, the story is more or less finished but the art and layout is ongoing. Getting things printed where I live is a struggle, lots of compromises and reworking of things. Hopefully will make some good progress in the next few weeks and have it done by Halloween 🎃

Tysm! 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘙𝘢𝘵 𝘗𝘭𝘢𝘨𝘶𝘦 follows a young boy and his robot, Andy, as a mysterious shipwreck unleashes a swarm of black rats that overrun their island. Beneath the surface, it’s a tale about innocence lost and the quiet awakening of ancient, godlike forces in a world already teetering on decay.

Congrats on 14.5k followers and thanks for the artshare, Jan.

I'm a freelance artist/graphic designer. Semi-retired due to disability. Mostly do pieces for myself now, though if something interests me & I can commit I'll jump on it. Work predominantly digital and lean towards darker themes.

Untitled. 2008. Digital mixed medium.

A lone abandoned multistory industrial building engulfed in flames is sitting in a barren field at night.

Last Cut. 2009. Digital mixed medium.

A single barber chair coverd in blood sits in a dilapidated prison cell. Light shines on it from a ceiling skylight window opening.

Black Mass. 2025. Digital mixed medium.

A human figure facing forward and wearing a hooded black robe. They have a ghostly skull-like face and bloodshot eyes. The moon is positioned behind its head and is shades of orange.

From Beyond. 2024. Digital mixed medium.

A black door floats in a room. The walls, ceiling, and floor are tiles. A bright light shines behind the door, illuminating the room in reds and blues.

Surreal yellow illustration featuring three inverted black sails, each topped with an anchor and glowing white circles at their tips. A small human figure stands silhouetted against a sun at the sails peak. Below, a short passage describes the discovery of a rat-infested ship and a robot named Andy. Artist’s mark “No” and website “IONO.CA” appear in the upper corner.

A vivid map of a fictional island called South Bird, rendered in electric pinks, purples, and blues. The island’s forests, temples, and towers rise from a jagged white coastline against a stormy sea. Ships and strange sea creatures drift nearby, while thunderclouds and black balloons hover above. Artist’s mark “No” and website “IONO.CA” appear in the corner.

Dark, textured illustration of a figure in a black diving suit with long white antlers. Yellow lightning bolts radiate around the figure as it holds a harpoon-like tool attached by a rope to a small metal canister labeled with a “Click! Click!” sound effect. Artist’s mark “No” and website “IONO.CA” in the lower corner.

High-contrast pink and white portrait of a mysterious hooded figure, their face obscured by rough texture. A speech bubble reads “ARE YOU WELL?” in distressed lettering. Artist’s mark “No” and website “IONO.CA” appear in the upper corner.

It's based on my Hansry artwork. Hans and Henry are on their horses on a sunny autumn day. They touch their palms as if they are dancing instead of jousting.

Photos don't capture how this screen print glows like an ember IRL. Perfect for equestrians and desert lovers, each print is hand pulled and no two are alike.

First edition of 35, $25 ea. Measures 19"x12.5"

A scan of a screen print, bull's blood maroon on sun-light glo tone paper. Horses gallop on a field of desert plants. The words "I will draw horses" repeat twice in the upper middle of the image.

Leo did not disappoint. del Toro and Penn were magic, but Teyana Taylor stole the show (and I think she was only in the first hour?). Insane movie that captures the deadly, idiotic, hypocritical bullshit people are living through. #OneBattleAfterAnother

Black and white surreal illustration of a figure with a patterned, shell-like back and thin limbs, holding a hatchet in one hand and reaching toward a wall with the other. The scene is tilted, giving a disorienting perspective of wooden planks. In the upper corner is the artist’s mark “No” and the website “IONO.CA.” Below the image, a block of text describes a nightmare of rats, a dead mother, and Andy reading a story to soothe the narrator.
