Veggietales, Spanish Baroque, and Daikon Child Sacrifice— Vegetables as Biblical and artistic allegorical tools

I finally re-uploaded an old but very significant comic to me on this website!

I thought it kind of remindedContinue reading “Veggietales, Spanish Baroque, and Daikon Child Sacrifice— Vegetables as Biblical and artistic allegorical tools”

Philip II Augustus (illustrations)

Some more King Philip II Augustus (Philippe Auguste) doodles, some of my favorites I’ve made over the past year. I wanted to draw my impression of him as a child, young teen, and as an adult man, since I think there’s a lot of both room for creative liberties and getting funky with it.

Had a fun time selling prints and displaying my zines at the recent fair! My mom helped me out with some of the more festive decorations. I sold mostly stickers, and a few prints; people surprisingly did not buy many zines! I think I didn’t quite fit the target audience of this fair (mostly familiesContinue reading “Sunset Artisan Fair!”
