2024 went well with my pixel art. I wanted more pixel art done in general, and while it’s not as much as I’d like, it’s still more than I made last year. Here’s to another year of pixel pushing!

In the effort to push myself to make more pixel art, I tried out a weekly pixel art challenge to motivate myself with a deadline.
The first one I finished was a quick Draw This in Your Own Style Challenge for Jpbravart on Twitter. I was keen on the design and I wanted to be more selfless with my art output. It’s a better way to draw fan art without dealing with the disappointment by general nerd media.
Time to kick February off by opening character commissions! For this year, I’m taking a seasonal approach to taking commissions. Every Three Months or so, I’ll have Five Slots Open to take safe-for-work character commissions.

From learning pixel art in Procreate I found my efforts limited. With the extra money I had, I invested in Pixaki 4 Pro, a $30 USD app on the Apple App Store. I do most of my pixel artwork for personal and game art in Aseprite. With Pixaki, I want a good portable option that I can trade between the two programs for faster pixel art output.
As of writing this, I have a show at The Gallery Seven on July 23 during Comicopolis 2022! There you can find my traditional ink comic pages framed in Lockport, Illinois. I never thought I’d be able to do this, but I’m glad it’s happening, and I hope you’ll stop by and see my original pages!
I remain active with my work, working on art, editing webjunk, and doing what I do to the best of my skills! Here’s what I’ve been up to the past few days:
I’m making some new edits to this website. You’ll be seeing some rearranged pages. Links might crash or break, and you’ll see some placeholder art for where I want to put buttons.
Progress on Blackmask presses on as I’m still making environments. It’s an uphill climb, but I can’t get discouraged.
For a short moment, I’ve been learning Pxyel Edit as it’s makes it easier to create repeatable tile sets. The program’s missing so many features that I ended up going back to learning more tricks in Aseprite.
