Here’s an illustration I did for today’s Washington Post Express for an article about 1st floor apartments. Reminds me of my old place in Providence! Many thanks to AD Jon Benedict!
A little spring themed vector practice! I currently have a little more time on my hands than I like, and until new work arrives, I’m learning a few new skills.
Made this illustration based on a cake by eatnunchi. Highly recommend checking out her super aesthetic jelly cakes. I can only hope I captured a fraction of the beauty of her work!

Hello, everybody! I’m so sorry if I’ve been MIA for the longest time. I’ve now become a working boy and it’s become nearly impossible to maintain this Tumblr account.
But I’m back to post my submission for the @emimikezine, curated by the hardworking @dettsu.
Just to recap: for the zine, I’m creating an assassin-slash-music school AU artwork wherein Mickey is a assassin-slash-classical violinist who gets involved with his schoolmate Emil Nekola, a jazz saxophonist. (Lol my apologies if the saxophone is inaccurately illustrated. I had a hard time with it.)

Thank you guys! And stay tuned for the full artwork by the end of August!
I heard that today is the birthday of our favorite Canadian golden boy, Jean-Jacques Leroy, so I decided to ransack through JJ’s things to find a photo to put up– I mean, whip up a quick illustration of JJ with our other favorite golden boy (made of pure sunshine, puppies, and everything else pure), Emil.
So here you all go: a birthday artwork for Jean-Jacques Leroy on his 19th birthday. Happy birthday, JJ! Keep that JJ style on fleek!
Also, you may have caught me shamelessly promoting my fic series, which will be up in my AO3 (subscribe to me here)soon and will legit have some EmiMike/MichEmil action happening. You may check out what you want to know about the fic series in this hyperlink.
Some of you may have heard that I’ll be doing an artwork for the first-ever @emimikezine, to be curated by the amazing @dettsu.
Y’all heard right. And I’m so honored to be among the roster of talented writers and artists contributing to this zine.

EDIT: We EmiMike Zine participants have received word on the negative response towards one of our prompts (and my artwork and its original caption for it here on Tumblr became the discourse avenue for it), so we decided it was best to drop the word, “mafia”, in all of our outputs from all of our creative output for the zine. My apologies if my work has caused any commotion and discomfort amongst people.
To quote the great Britney Spears, “ It’s been a while. I know I shouldn’t have kept you waiting. But I’m here now.” I’m here with some new EmiMike/MichEmil art for @emimikeweek‘s Exchange in celebration of our darling Czech boy’s birthday.
I made this artwork for @lovelyisthenight. I tried to mash her three requests (flower crowns, kisses, and cuddling) in one artwork. The one thing that inspired me to make this concept was the flower crowns, granted that I hardly illustrate anything from nature. This proved to be a bit of a challenge, but I enjoyed doing this artwork nonetheless. I hope she enjoys it too.

Guess what? Here’s the final output for it. I present to you my next big project called “Monkshood County”, which will be a fanfiction series that will test my skills in creative writing oh my god the pressure is on whew. The fanfic is inspired by CW’s Riverdaleand FOX’s cancelled show Scream Queens. (#RIPScreamQueens)
The story follows Michele and Emil as they solve the mystery behind the strange disappearance and murder of Viktor Nikiforov, Monkshood High School’s prima ballerina and golden boy. As Mickey and Emil go further into the investigation, they unearth deeper and darker secrets hiding in their beloved town.
Also, a little background on everyone here in this poster:
Mickey and Sara Crispino are the captains of the Monkshood Foxes, the high school’s cheerleading squad. Mickey takes charge of the lifters and flyers, while Sara handles the dancers. Mickey is strict with the lifters and flyers, especially when the flyers talk to his sister. Sara’s more friendly and charismatic as a leader.
Emil Nekola is one of the star hockey players in school. Everybody loves him for his sweet and gentleman-like disposition. He harbors an obvious crush on his best friend and neighbor, Mickey. The other star hockey player is…
Jean-Jacques Leroy, the team captain. JJ and Emil are basically bros. JJ is confident and outgoing to the point that it inadvertently comes off as arrogance. JJ is also one of the more popular figures in school, about as popular as Viktor.
Otabek Altin is the school’s resident bad-boy with the bike. In the social scene, he prefers not to interact at all with anyone, making him one of the most mysterious figures in Monkshood High.
Mila Babicheva is the new girl in school fresh from Manhattan. Her father is known to be one of the richest and most skilled tycoons in New York and has been rumored to be a partner with the Nikiforov family for an upcoming business. Mila is basically high-society but kind-hearted, doing her best to be there for her friends and loved ones. Finally, there’s…
Yuuri Katsuki, the only son of the Katsuki family, who own the local katsudon restaurant. Yuuri was the vice-captain of the Monkshood High Dance Troupe, with Viktor, his boyfriend, as its captain.
So that’s about all that I will use to tease everyone with for this upcoming fic series. I’ll get to creating my AO3 account so stay tuned everybody! For now, enjoy the art and follow the series’ accompanying playlist here:
