MORNINGSTAR'S LYSIS & THE GENESIS OF DRUXY - screenprint on stonehenge black paper •*•*•*•*• hiiiii!!! heres my first project from PRNT 501!! its a poster for the comic i'm working on (that doesnt have an actual title yet but we working on it) and i wanted to make posters of depicting the prophecy of lucifer's descent and the start of G.O.D's malice :)

2025 sort of kind of recap!! im super thankful for this year because it showed me so many things, but the most important things are the friends that i made, the major i chose, and the enjoyment of the mundane :) im really thankful for everyone that has been with me this year and im looking forward to more joy and whimsy!! 2026 may you bring me all that is bright and kind <3

made a gingerbread house for the first time with my girlfriend and it was so much fun! she decided that it would be aesthetically pleasing to dump the bowls of candy onto the icing and called one of them a crack shack 🧍🏾‍♀️ but i love them nonetheless! 💖

✦ emergence + division II: a girl is a God ✦ this was for my queer history final! it encapsulates the visual aesthetics of 90's japanese magical girl anime and places an emphasis of ok the metamorphosis of the girl throughout a standard series :)

return to buffalo: botanical gardens edition!! another day of good vibes and pretty things :) this was pretty mellow but enjoyable nonetheless! i forgot how much i missed seeing the variety of vibrant plants tbh so shoutout to riley for thinking of this <3

escape from buffalo: toronto edition !!! stormcrow manor.....they could neva make me hate u cause WOW was it so cool!! and it was even better having my favorite sillies with me there :3 10/10 would do again (even with the insane driving in the city) real stuff though it was such a nice experience considering being in your head a lot post-spring semester really can be draining, and i feel like im more rejuvenated and less emo LMAO
