Personal Projects
In addition to illustration, I also love to explore creative writing, songwriting, and electronic music production.
THE DREAMFAST DIVISION
There is a creative intersection where art, lyrics, and music converge—one that has always drawn me.
The Dreamfast Division is my pursuit of that space.
Artist Note: I use A.I. tools to assist with final vocals and performance due to time and budget limitations. I’m a songwriter and aspiring composer rather than a performer, so this project focuses on songwriting first, with A.I. serving as a production tool.
All lyrics, song structures, core melodies (top lines), and creative production choices are my own. I compose melodies using piano, Stylophones, MIDI keyboards, digital keyboards and pads, and programming in Ableton Lite and Note, then refine each track using SUNO, GarageBand, and AudioMaster.
These songs remain rooted in my own creativity and vision.

ALIEN LANDING PARTY
Like The Dreamfast Division, Alien Landing Party unites my art, lyrics, and music—this time with a fictional sci-fi edge. It’s a virtual cyberpunk band where each song reveals a new chapter and every visual expands the story.

Writing
It’s hard to be an illustrator without wanting to tell a story—whether through images or words. I’ve always loved writing, but only in recent years have I had the courage to publish my work. Below are publications featuring my short stories, poetry, and nonfiction.
Dog Save the King. Includes my short story, "The Omen."
A collection of poetry including The Leviathan, The Rocking Horse, and Common Cuckoo.
A collection of educational essays, including my writings on Community Stewardship.
Coming Soon. A collection of poetry including Death Waits, Haunted, Shadows of Doubt, The Place of Dreams, and The Siren's Call.
