| About the art

I draw on a Wacom Cintiq 22HD and a Movink. I've used Adobe Photoshop since I was 16 years old, but have since converted to ClipStudio for painting. Other programs used include AfterEffects, TVPaint, Flipaclip, Krita and ToonBoom Storyboard Pro. Digital artwork is real artwork, but I also love pen on paper.

This site contains some mature artworks.

Asides from some obvious cases, the reposting of any artwork on this site is usually forbidden. If you have a good reason, please contact me first to ask for permission!

| About this site
