My work as an illustrator is something that’s grown out of my joy of seeking out opportunities to draw when art is needed. 

I see it as a service of visual articulation. Whether it’s a means of expression, communication, elaboration, love or so on. The ways that it can look are really boundless and limited only by imagination.

The first time I made art for money was almost a decade ago now back in 2013. It began for me slow and lighthearted, with loving personal things like portraits and projects for friends and flyers for gigs, parties and community things. I relished in the gifts of getting to transcribe wishes and whims into something precious to adorn the work, lives and bedroom walls of those around me. With time I got familiar with the rituals of contributing in this way. I became a go to for posters and fliers for all kinds of gatherings, diy organizing, workshops and punk shows. Gradually, that expanded into more opportunities as I situated myself as an artist within my greater communities and the worlds that orbited them. 

As the years have gone by I’ve found my way into illustration in so many forms; magazine articles, book covers, album art, logos, campaigns, promotion, print and clothing design, collaborations and contributions to zines and publications and more. I find myself endlessly curious to expand on this list and constantly inspired by the visions of others that may call on me.

Currently illustration has become a form of occasional work that supports my livelihood, kindled by the love that brought me to it. When people reach out to me to commission artwork, we communicate throughout the process on finding fixed or hourly rates that we determine together referencing the framework I provide. My work accommodates sliding scale rates in favor of intersectional understandings of access and wishing to demolish barriers to what I do. I will always do my best to approach your inquiries with a thorough and honest assessment, and always hold the liberty to turn down what I can’t or don’t feel able to do.
