Hello. I haven’t used this function of my website since college. I thought I’d write something here to talk about the last few years, and kind of ground myself. If anyone finds themselves reading this, use the contact form to say hello! Anyways. It’s been a tough while for me, a sobering couple of years, honestly. I graduated school with such lofty ideas of success, and have yet to find almost any. It’s not all bad, In my own way I’ve found myself back to art and creativity, and it feels better than it ever did before. My comic, SAVAGE PLANET, has been slowly but steadily being brought into the world, so I’m very happy about that. Its almost like my child at this point. My freak son. I’ve never worked on a project for as long or as passionately as I have with SAVAGE PLANET. I hope everyone can read it soon. In the meantime, a sample of the first 2 chapters are linked here on my site. Please enjoy them.
In 2023 right after graduating, I managed to find a job doing some work for a biotech start up. But when my contract with them ended, I couldn’t find any work. It really is a bad time to start a career in any sort of art. In truth, I may have found more success if I hadn’t given up my job search. It’s hard to say that, but I felt so defeated at the time. I had reached a low point, and my mental health challenges were mounting in a way that had to be dealt with. 2024 was a wash, I had a lot of personal troubles, and really needed to figure myself out. I spent a lot of time finding myself and figuring out this thing called life. I can’t say I’ve figured it all out, but for now, for the first time in my life, I think I can see a path forward.
I’m happy to say that I’m doing much better. I think I’ve finally found my way back to what matters, and I feel really positive about the future. I hope this blog post wasn’t a bummer. Here’s a little look at a frog cartoon I’m doing. Thanks for reading.

Was talking to a friend recently and they brought up this old character of mine. I wanted to draw him again after such a long time. I want to make a full reference sheet of him in the future!
