"Don't cut me down.
I'm just a dream behind."

This piece is from 2004. It is a reflection on my 2003 hospitalization; a struggle to grow from and get over the past. Before I was hospitalized, I hallucinated words in tree branches. The "butterfly" needle is a type of needle used to draw blood. I had a traumatic experience with fainting upon getting my blood drawn on the first day of my hospitalization. I spent three months in a psychiatric ward for acute psychosis at age 15.

The branches read: "I WILL FIND MY WAY"

Some high school era stuff. These are from 2006.



An assignment from Senior year of High School. Choose an artist and paint a self-portrait in the style of that artist. I chose Frida Kahlo. I used her jungle backgrounds, monkeys and her necklace of thorns as symbols in my piece.



A scene from my old writing game, Aphotica. Original characters by me and my friend Sirose. Mouse-drawn in Adobe Photoshop Elements. In the scene, Miraye berates Tic for wanting to give himself up to arrest, after she fought so hard to save him.



Beetle photo. I used to take a lot of long walks by myself down the roads of my suburban town. I met a friend.
