My work of mine ranges from illustration (traditional media and digital), hall costumes, mascot characters, clothing, props, and repair work. I also specialize in character feet resoling and footwear. Highlighted projects will be featured here, and periodical behind the scenes work will be placed in the Scraps section.
At this time, all commission work and trades are closed, and quotes will not be available. I am available periodically for repair work on a case by case basis, and you must be 18+ at the time of production work.
