Current Artwork: 2024 to Now

Here are some samples of artwork from my current book projects for The Donoverse. While I choose not to give everything away in my books (for obvious reasons), I do want to show the Images I feel do justice conveying the books they are a part of

From The Hoverboard Girls (2024)

Early Artwork: 2018 to 2024

Here are some of my early concept Illustrations for The Donoverse; done between 2018 to 2024. I have drawn a lot more in the past (some of which are included in my first book), but I consider these in particular to be my personal favorites

Pilot Comic: The Kitchen

I first created The Kitchen back in 2018, when I initially planned to do The Donoverse as a Webcomic. I had revised it multiple times until settling on its current version in 2022. I like to consider this comic as a "Proof of Concept" of the way I tell my stories. It is a simple vignette about Jenny cooking dinner for her family, only for her son Danny to bargain with her to eat a TV Dinner instead. Its a pretty common scene we can all relate to in our own lives.

Other Artwork

Fan Art: Friday Night At Pizza Planet

Back in June of 2024; I had created a fan art poster of different [human] characters from Animated Movies of the '80s & '90s called Friday Night at Pizza Planet. While not part of the Donoverse, I did feel like the poster was a good tribute to the films of the time. It did also greatly Inform how I could approach a "Look-and-Find" style of artwork in the future

For this picture, I wanted to depict these characters in a happy normal situation; namely enjoying a friday night of fun at an arcade.
