Creative looking to create a kinder world 🌄

Creative Writer, Designer, Artist, & Fantasy Enthusiast 🗡️🛡️

All art and writing I post is my own 🎨

Currently seeking work 💼
Looking forward to watching the mass migration of a rare waterfowl species tomorrow.

I hear the Yellow-Bellied New York Elites are gonna fly South for the winter, just like they've been squawking about doing for the last month if Mamdani won.

Maybe they can keep Cuomo company in Florida.

The final page of An Exile Forged, Pg. 42

Shattered surface tension.
A numbness embraces
senses beneath the frigid cove waters.
Thoughts seize
against encroaching stillness,
as the last glimpse of light
ebbs in gasp effervescence.

An Exile Forged, Pg. 38-41

Inspired by "House of Leaves,"

Within a book of fine paper, each page becomes a membrane between past and future.

As the pages press together, we can see imprints of prior ink, and portend words yet spoken on the next page.

An Exile Forged, Pg. 36-37

Inspired by Renee Gladman's Prose Architectures.

The road of prose pursuing Orsin's journey passes through the gates of Waterdeep; an edifice constructed from echoes of abuse - a wall of twisted hurt

made to look normal.

An Exile Forged, Pg. 33-35

Amidst the bedlam of blade and blood,
the bold find purchase in the bosom of man.
But even with strikes of metal and bone immortalized,
blood sets betwixt a winding way ahead.

We could've rebuffed this brutality sooner.

Eyes of burning coal scorch beyond the midnight thicket; scouring opportunity from scores of still-quivering cadavers
soaked scarlet by the fletched black rain.

I must say, this page fits spooky season perfectly

A projectile punctures the peace.

Festivity dies with a sudden sobering reminder of a violent reality.

Survivors sink, submerged awash in waves of adrenaline and isolation.

A cacophony of plate & crockery rings across amber fields.
The scrumptious hums of satiated mouths bids distant strangers to feast.

Collectively channel your suburbanite wine mom Jesus:
live-laugh-love thy neighbors.

As a 5e DM,
Four Elements Monk is ridiculously clunky. It tries to give the monk spells, but gives them limited, costly choices and no features.

5.5e manages to make the subclass viable as a pseudo blaster, doesn't even try to substantiate the element-bending.

We need a happy medium.

It's such an innocuous thing,
the quiet pity swelling behind the eyes, watching the subtle passage of time on a body, as entropy molasses motion.

Yet as leaves fall, their detritus tones portend tomorrow's dawn.

Dr. Jane Goodall, the renowned conservationist and animal welfare advocate who became the world's foremost expert on chimpanzees after spending decades studying them in the wild in Tanzania's Gombe Stream National Park has died. She was 91.

These next visual poetry pages feature calligrams forged from formatted text:
Orsin recalls faded images from his past; each a pavestone on a trail of tender memories guiding him along his grandfather's footsteps.

Starting off with a three-page spread of visual poetry and fragmented family tree:
An explosion in the mines left infant Orsin without a father, an event which motivated close ties to family and legacy as he grew up.

This next bundle of pages is a 4 page vertical spread, meant to display a sort of temporal progression through a narrative event; the discovery and excavation of an ancient runic sword belonging to the Giants.

As I keep dropping segments of my writing project, and some rely on being viewed as interconnected, I think it might be prudent to put together some kind of webpage to host them.

In other completely unrelated news... I'll be posting a 4 page vertical spread of writing and art next week 😏

With these backlit pages, I wanted to reflect the obscuring nature of bureaucracy, paperwork, and corporate speak; how walls of labyrinthine language are designed to disguise and deter us from action and meaning.

Though a bit more graphic, the next pages of my project make up a two-page spread whose words and poetry highlight the animalistic violence and viscera of a society in decay, warped by its own hands.

The introduction of my project, designed to incorporate exposition and showcase its premise.

I took inspiration from ergodic lit like "House of Leaves" and visual poetry such as "Calligrammes: Poems of Peace and War"

Since I finally graduated, I think it's time to start sharing my Master's Writing Project, a few pages at a time.

It's a mixed media project that utilizes personal art and writing to assemble a series of visual vignettes exploring my D&D character's story as a refraction of my own life experiences.

News outlets like @wsj.com have a critical responsibility to report the truth.

Promoting false information that ties our LGBTQ+ community to the Utah shooting is reckless, irresponsible, and puts trans people especially in danger.

Anyone with a platform must do better. Lives are on the line.

To assist with the presentation of my dad's cancer prevention research to the public, I drew a cartoon referencing fish oil's reliance on the ALOX15 enzyme for its anti-inflammatory properties.
