Hello everyone! Long time no speak. I was just creating an inventory and archive of every piece of artwork I have access to, from when I was 13 (2003) until now. As a result I have been seeing alot of my artwork and how I have grown and transformed and changed over the years. SO MUCH has changed, and yet alot of my core remains the same. It's been a humbling experience to say the least. While I was archiving work I figured I would submit some of my newer work in recent years and also just say hello to whoever may see this. I will provide some links below for those of you who might see this page and want to stay connected SUPPORT 💫H

I'm so bad. I just realized I didn't upload a single piece of artwork on here during the entire fall semester haha.
