Watercolor and gouache painting of a mossy tree base with an unfinished background and log silhouette as the foreground. The tree is two cedars split near the base, with winding roots reaching up into the crevice. A small plant is growing out of its side. The lumpy base is covered in rich green moss.
A watercolor-like painting of a Pacific Bleeding Heart (Dicentra formosa) based off a photo I took in Issaquah, Washington. The background is blurry greens and yellows. Outlined in graphite is one stem and two flower bunches, on the left with three flowers and a bud and on the right with two buds and one flower.
Top down photo of a block cutting board with partially carved stamps and a block carver tool. The top stamp is a large pink block with white acrylic painted on top, partially carved, with a pencil sketch of Mt Rainier drawn on it. Below it is a little stamp of a dragon shape. The tool is a Pfeil U Gauge. Some shavings are piled in a corner of the image.
A set of wrapped vinyl stickers in held in a hand. The sticker is a sparkly wyvern with colors matching the nonbinary pride flag.
Photo of a hand holding up a pack of sparkly wyvern stickers, still in plastic wrap, with the wyvern themed with the trans pride flag colors. The background is an out of focus dining/kitchen that has nothing to do with the stickers.
Photo closeup of a drying rack covered with block prints, with a print of a moth & moon greeting card in the foreground. The rack is sitting on a tile floor and there's a straw leaf decoration visible on the left side.
A photo of three small notebooks with brown recycled paper covers. On each notebook is a black block printing of a banana slug trailing down the spine and across the bottom of the notebook.

Three stickers and a ruler to the right of them set against a black background. The top-most image is a ghost having a cup of tea, then there's a chest mimic with purple mouth agape, and at the bottom is a rainbow colored wyvern. All three stickers have sparkles.
Digital illustration of a chest mimic with red eyes, mouth open and purple tongue sticking out. There is a red outline showing where the sticker cut will be and speckles in the mouth and eyes to show where the sparkles get added.
Block carving of a black cat sitting on a skull, with a fresh layer of ink on the rubber making the skull and cat outline look pink.
Close up of me beginning to carve a rubber block print. A v-shaped carver is pressed into the back part of a skull design and 2 strips are cut out, the excess pulled away by the off hand. The design is of a cat sitting on a skull, but only the bottom of the cat and the skull can be seen in the close-up.
A commissioned original dog portrait made in pastel and charcoal. On grey paper, a headshot of a dog with long wavy black-brown fur facing to the left, mouth partly opened and eyes looking to the distance, and a bit of blue collar peeking through. The style is more realistic but with bold black outlines.
