Frequently Asked Questions
What program do you use?
I draw exclusively with Procreate on a 13 inch iPad Pro. I like to call myself an iPad baby. I used to be a fully traditional artist and worked with mixed media. My most recent traditional media was done with India ink and markers, but I have also worked with oil paints on canvas, charcoal, acrylics, watercolor, and ink wash. I did not pick up on digital art until I was 26 because drawing with a standard tablet felt unnatural. Drawing on the iPad feels almost exactly like drawing on paper, and Procreate is capable of reproducing the textures of traditional tools. I liked it so much I stopped drawing with physical media altogether because Procreate gave me everything I wanted.
What is your favorite subject matter?
I enjoy creating dark, surreal stories about nerdy, strange people wandering into bizarre situations. Nearly everything I’ve written involves a socially awkward, nerdy, but mundane character falling down a rabbit hole of insanity where the laws of reality can break. I like to send an Everyman into a waking nightmare so that the reader can connect with the feeling of disorientation and horror. Anything can happen in the realm of thought. Dreams leak into the waking world. The mind becomes a physical place that can be explored, exposed one’s darkest secrets. I also like to find humor in the weird little mundane parts of life. Crooked pictures, sarcastic advertisements, smiley faces on dangerous objects, comically-timed accidents, and awkward social interactions can all be found here. I also focus on the beauty of quiet moments, often lingering on environment shots, unspoken interactions, and small details to immerse the reader in the story.
