The Midori notebooks are the perfect match for me, it handles all my pens and markers really well. I've always preferred thinner sketchbook paper over that of higher gsm, as seeing the sketchbook thicken over time is really satisfying to me.Some pages are covered for privacy.

Red Dead Redemption

Other/Miscellaneous

My prompt list for Halloween, including some ideas I've been thinking about for a while now:

I’m a total hypocrite when it comes to judging those who get obsessed with Christmas, because that’s absolutely me when autumn creeps around. I’ve loved Halloween for as long as I can remember. I think it’s a special season for any weird kid who grew up in a place where the leaves turn red and the crisp, chilly wind sweeps away the heavy summer air.As funny as it is, my obsession with Halloween started with an old Charlie and Lola sticker book. That particular edition was all about Lola’s costume for her school’s Halloween party, surrounded by pages of decorations—bats, spiders, pumpkins, ghosts, and the like. I was so infatuated with the book that I tried making multiple copies of my own. I guess it stuck with me ever since.

Scarecrow

Inspired by old horror movie posters, with vibrant reds and lime green that just scream Halloween. When I hear the word scarecrow, two things come to mind - my favourite Ministry song and the beloved Gotham villain. Their influences are apparent in the theatrical and eerie atmosphere I wanted to capture.Featuring my character Oscillator dressed up as a scarecrow within the fields.In the end, the lantern's ominous glow within the deep shadows remind me of the covers of paranormal magazines I used to beg my mum to buy as a kid. I had completely forgotten about them for a while, but drawing this unearthed memories of a particular issue that came with those red+cyan 3D glasses. Looking through them brought some of the specially printed pages to life.Setting the tone for the beginning of a spooooooky autumn....

Bloodbath

Drawing inspiration yet again from horror movie posters, Rinrin and I collaborated on a tribute to Carrie. The over-the-top tagline and bold imagery felt like the perfect setting for our characters, Daisy and Oscillator. There’s something deliciously camp about a wedding turned zombie massacre, nodding to the golden age of horror where the absurd and the terrifying go hand in hand.I had a great time leaning into the pulpy imagery of Carrie, embracing the blood-soaked nightmare in contrast to Rinrin’s rosy Daisy. Oscillator fit perfectly into the role of the uninvited guest, turning a day of joy into a day of horror.Initially I was dubious about the collaboration, since our styles were so different I thought it would be difficult to create a coherent image. But the stylistic difference really fit the context of the poster perfectly.

Haunted House

I couldn't help but think of Guillermo del Toro's Crimson Peak while working on this piece - in particular, the red ghost that haunts the ruined mansion. That movie has stuck with me for its beautiful set pieces and striking use of colour, so I wanted to tap into a similar mood.I often return to this turquoise, red and black palette because of the way it conjures a theatrically unsettling feeling, like you're watching some kind of fever dream playing out on the stage.One of my favourite parts of this piece is the severed head floating at the bottom left corner. I tried to give it a ghostly quality, with its bottom-lit, maggot-filled face and thousand yard stare. I'm really looking forward to use a similar effect for the "pirate ghost ship" prompt, the idea of green, glowing spectral pirates is really exciting.

Pirate ghost ship

Incomplete resurrection. My self-biographical character Oscillator.I think that using myself as a point of reference for these drawings allows me to explore darker topics without placing any burden on pre-existing characters, whether it's my OCs or figures in media. Because she exists as essentially a vessel, I can place her in any scenario, unlike my other characters who have pre-written stories and themes.

I've been messing around with my Red Dead Redemption 2 AU (called Red Dead '89) for a while now. Instead of cowboys in the Wild West, the Van der Linde gang is a bunch of trailer park bikers in the late 80s. Cheap beer, leather jackets, and everyone's bikes being the motor counterpart to their RDR horses.

Media censorship and my art

23 September 2025

Being interested in dark, queer art and exploring sensitive topics, I have faced quite a few instances of censorship in the past. What frustrates me is not only being limited in what I can share, but also how it sometimes gets in my head and makes me wonder why I should even bother creating. Like, what’s the point of making a piece if it’s just going to get taken down for being “too much,” when in reality it’s just a bit macabre? This is the effect censorship has on artists; it discourages them from exploring subjects that are personal and meaningful.The problems I’ve faced make me wonder where the line is supposed to be. If Instagram removes a post with artistic nudity, does that mean we should expect the reins to gradually tighten on what we’re allowed to post?I have my suspicions about how these platforms manage issues like this. Because there’s a manual report system, anyone with an account can send feedback to moderation. That means anyone who doesn’t like what you’re posting (or just can’t mind their own business) can mass report your work. What really struck me as odd was how several of my posts were flagged at the exact same time.The irony is a bit painful too. This platform brands itself as being “made by creators, for creators,” but the second your art pushes boundaries, you’re silenced, or even cut off from the platform entirely (I’ve seen many artists disappear from recommendations after this). Meanwhile, bigoted comments that run rampant under viral posts with millions of views remain untouched by moderation in the name of “free speech.” How does that make any sense?The wildest part is that my art isn’t even that extreme. The pieces that were taken down barely had any violence or exposed body parts. It just feels like the platform is stacked against anyone who wants to explore the stranger sides of their creativity.
