My cute sketch was actually a set-up to a supremely dumb comic I drew after I saw a post in the Hollow Knight subreddit where someone claimed to name their newborn after Hornet. The thread was quickly scrubbed after tons of redditors pointed out why this was a bad idea.
![Panel 2 of a really dumb Hollow Knight comic about young Hornet. The comic is specifically poking fun at a post in the Hollow Knight subreddit where someone claimed to name their infant daughter Hornet. In Panel 2, the White Lady says, "Horny? Why in the world would you call her [Hornet] that?" The Pale King panics and says, "WAIT I didn't realize what it would sound like until I said it out loud! I was just trying to give her a cute nickname."](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:kfyrylg6e6fdwsbjogzzftvb/bafkreifwiyi4nmmzo3yeq2mkkzb5dzz4k2g5hhpqrufrdwwtzfoo6y6ttu@jpeg)

Quote with your vampire art! 🧛
The only vampire I remember drawing is the cool guy that skelly-girl is crushing on in this 2017 inktober piece. Honestly I'm still happy with my work all these years later.

Hi Arielle!
I'm available for Spring 2026 work for covers, short projects, and middle grade graphic novels. I would be open to YA graphic novels as well depending on the subject (I prefer lighter, flufflier stories that fit my art).
