I like sphinxes. Belhib is an archaic word for sphinx.

In media, usually werewolves are portrayed as big and beefy, while vampires are often more androgynous, twinky, or effeminate. For this project, I wanted to do a character design experiment in playing against type while still having the characters read clearly in their identities.

Standing pose with outfit design, a character-focused drawing of sleeping arrangements, and vampire bat form.

Proper werewolf form for the werewolf character. I wanted to make him look monstrous, but still sleek and elegant.

They are in love and that twink is topping him!!!

“Hunter’s Taunts.” Rings containing the embedded teeth of vampires; both a trophy to signify hunting prowess and a clear declaration of intent to passing vampires and other creatures in the hunter’s jurisdiction. A small collection from the 19th and 20th centuries.

Digital full color, March 2023. Inspired by Victorian era deer tooth rings. A lot of people on Twitter thought this was a photograph, which really surprised me.

A piece done for the band layer:0; now inoperative, as its frontwoman, my late girlfriend Sky Berry, passed away in March of 2026. I miss her immensely. Her bandmate asked me for something for a charity run of band shirts, and this is what came out. I love you Sky.

I love playing Vampire the Masquerade with my friends!

in a periareolar double mastectomy, the incisions are made around the lower curvature of the nipple, creating an opening through which the breast tissue is removed.

inspired by old video games and retro fantasy; memories seen through a dream twisted and grown into something new.

Digital Limited Color, April 2023

Directly riffing off Leonardo DaVinci’s Vitruvian Man and the now-retired cover of Abigail Shrier’s violently transphobic text “Irreversible Damage,” this piece is a statement of bodily autonomy and the right to alter one’s own form to suit them. This is my design, not yours.

July 2023.

Digital greyscale, April 2023. i like to draw water a lot.

A piece for the 2025 Supernova show at Junior High in Glendale. I think a lot about ball-jointed dolls.

Another from my “thinking a lot about ball-jointed dolls” era.

The cover for my tabletop roleplaying game, Godling.

Digital black and white, March 2023. Dedicated to the real self-made men: transgender men. Originally designed for prints and t-shirts, this has since been tattooed on two people. Quite proud of that.

Digital full color, March 2023. I think I just really wanted to paint mother of pearl.

Digital full color, March 2023. I love Devonian age creatures.

Did a little fanart/character design self-challenge with my players’ characters from our Court of Blades game.

Digital black and white, March 2023. Inspired by the transmasculine relationship to Saint Sebastian and the defiant, euphoric suffering of being openly transgender in our current political climate.

“Known as the “Lady of Ill Fortune,” this untitled piece from the estate of the late Emilio Lambrusco has since been passed from dealer, to purchaser, to dealer again. While little is known about the painting in actuality, murky rumors around the piece suggest it portrays Lambrusco’s wife, allegedly in the middle of predicting his death. 1905-1915.”

Digital full color, June 2023.

Digital black and white, February 2023. Inspired by an orchid exhibition at the New York Botanical Garden.

Digital grayscale and spot color, April 2023. I’ve always viewed the story of Pygmalion as a horror story from the perspective of the statue.

Ink and gouache. Borzoi are generally pretty timid animals in actuality- I made this piece after playing a video game in which borzoi were used as guard dog characters, which I found pretty funny.

Commissioned by Gender Unbound for their August 2020 gallery exhibition.
