Freelance creature artist and illustrator

Summary

I am a fantasy artist, specializing in creature/monster design. I created my first self-published creature catalogue/bestiary of original designs in 2019, and am currently building my professional portfolio and fleshing out my world-building. I draw my inspiration from psychology and dreams, trying to find touchstone images that spark empathy and compassion in the viewer- or at least give them a good chuckle. I work primarily in traditional media: graphite, charcoal, coloured pencil, ink, or digitally coloured drawings.
