My cover artwork for Something to Live For by Katie Cunningham. The main character Ardeola is sitting, knees drawn up. She’s holding her face in her hands and glaring at you, a trail of blood or tears running down one eye. She’s half lit up in a bright light and half covered in shadow.

My cover artwork for HALF A LIFE APART by Shannon C F Rogers. The composition is of three boxes representing different aspects of the main character’s life.

My Lunar New Year card illustration. An Asian cowboy putting on his hat, swinging his lasso and grinning as he faces the coming year head on! He has a back tattoo of a Chinese style painting of a charging horse surrounded by peonies. Text says 2026 ‘It’s time, friend. The horse powers you through. Go succeed’ and the Chinese blessing 馬到功成. He’s surrounded by fire for the Year of the Fire Horse

Photo of my new prints and stickers. Prints are from Let’s Go Karaoke and The Summer Hikaru Died. The stickers are of classic Hong Kong food, egg tarts, dumplings, lychee, jerky, fish tofu and siu mai.
Kyouji from Let’s Go Karaoke! His back is to you, his shirt is rain soaked through and is revealing his Yakuza tattoos of a large crane. He’s smoking, his head slightly turning. His left hand is holding the omamori.
Kyouji and Satomi from Let’s Go Karaoke manga. They’re standing next to each other and are both holding microphones waiting for the countdown of the song to start. Blink and you miss it, Kyouji has blood on his shirt and bloodied knuckles, hinting to how he’s yakuza.
Illustration of Hikaru and Yoshiki from The Summer Hikaru Died. They’re both walking together, Hikaru grinning and looking back at Yoshiki who’s following close behind. Yoshiki looks sullen, their arms are swinging and it can be interpreted that Yoshiki is reaching out to hold onto Hikaru. They’re both holding an ice pop each from the blue type that you can break into two ice pops to share. Behind them is a forest, the tree trunk directly behind Hikaru has the patterns from his original form on it so it looks like it’s coming out from him. Yoshiki’s arm has the shadow left behind by Hikaru. The title 光が死んだ夏 is centred vertically between the two of them.

My variant cover for Rebel Moon Nemesis. The character Nemesis from Zack Snyder’s film Rebel Moon is an Asian female assassin. She’s staring at you with a calm but intimidating air under the brim of her hat which is covering one of her eyes. She’s got mechanical arms and they’re holding her glowing twin blades, lighting her in a sinister red light.
Clip from AND THAT’S HOW IT ENDS an indie animation by me and Son M. with Anodyne Animation studio. A young Asian man with Monkey King make up crouches down with a smirk as glass crashes around him.
My variant cover of Catwoman. She’s smiling confidently at you, playfully framing her face with her gloved hands. She’s covered in stolen jewellery on her neck and wrists. A cat is balancing on her shoulders.

My variant cover of Poison Ivy standing amongst poisonous plants and mushrooms. She’s glaring at you, holding a human skull covered in the same vines and flowers wrapping around her arms.
