I’m a pixel artist – yes, we still exist. I spend my time crafting tiny squares into big art, mostly because I enjoy making people nostalgic for the dust on their Gameboy.

Passion: Futuristic spaceships and epic space battles. Why? Because the universe is infinitely cooler than whatever’s happening on Earth. I work in Aseprite – a program that’s as close to a space adventure as you can get while sitting in a chair.

Goal: To create art you’ll like – or at least tolerate. I occasionally drop free asset packs on itch.io, because nothing beats the thrill of giving things away and pretending it’s generosity.

I’m also dabbling in game development because, as a gamer, I think I can do better than the industry. Bold claim, I know. No microtransactions in my games, though. Just good old-fashioned hobby projects that might one day see the light of day.

Constructive criticism is like coffee: bitter, but I’ll take it anyway. So thanks for stopping by. If my art doesn’t speak to you, maybe it’s just shy – come back later.
