Illustration
With a mix of mid-century cartoon charm, psychological inspiration, and a whole chronicle of characters: our art finds itself best at home when it's helping escort the countless ideas we have onto paper.Once a life-long professional illustrator, these days it's found accompanying the many other projects and art-forms that keep life varied and interesting.'13-'16 | Illustration (BAhons) @ AUP

Merch Design
Finding an on-off home amongst the alleys & markets of like-minded artists, we've had the pleasure of designing and experimenting with various products over the last decade. From keychains, to tattoos, to an entire range of artist trading cards and portable display frames, we aim to make merch that feels like art.And to bring back some of that ol' midcentury commercial charm whilst doing it!'13 - '26 | Designing merch & stalling at various conventions & markets around the U.K.

Acting
To lose yourself in a character- to bring them to life! Acting is a love that we will always pursue where our health allows us.As a transmasc actor with Dissociative Identity Disorder, AuDHD, and Chronic Illness: our acting benefits in inspiration from the varied viewpoints we've experienced.We find ourselves most interested in acting characters we can really connect with; and particularly those that aim to represent the experiences of our communities.Range

Games
Once upon a time it was our life's goal to work as a concept artist for video games. Sadly, our health had something to say about that, & we could no longer pursue it...But we did get the opportunity to work on a few games whilst we had the chance!We'd love to get back into it for short games or collaborations, should the right (accommodating) project come up.

the Personifications
Ongoing Writing Project
A story of Gods, Mortals, and the Mental Illness that connects them both.Began as a personal project in 2021 as a way to explore character-first writing and world-building. It may become something more down the line, but it was always about the wonderful journey.
Honeycomb Hotel
A Band of Bees
When dive-bar band Honeycomb Hotel make a stir, even the upper hive can't wait to see what all the buzz is about! But when the Queen invites them to play at the royal concert hall... they have to find a way to keep their secret: half their members are Her Majesty's Royal Orchestra moonlighting as a jazz band.Bees born from Degree Work.
Carousellia
Collaborative Project
In a world where magic is fuelled by emotion, a new project aims for perfect symbiosis: Carousellia, the Circus City. Where audience and performers can live in perfect harmony...But that was 75 years ago. And those now trapped in its abandoned carcass know that it was all too good to be true.
Various Designs
One-Offs & Adoptables
For those who outlived their purpose, and those who had no purpose to begin with!They deserve to be remembered too.
Roleplay
TTRPG, GTARP, etc.
From Caterpillars with memory loss traversing through the cosmic jail that is Wonderland, to Baronesses shattered between worlds, to once-daring pirates cursed to turn to stone.Characters from previous community projects, tabletop games, etc.
the Inner Worlds
2020 - Experimental Series
The 'inner worlds' of a DID system can be vast, and complicated, and metaphorical. And to those of us who are alters, it is a home that the outside will never see...So we thought, why not invite them in?tIW is a project that emulates our own inner world and how it is to exist within it, allowing a visitor to interact and explore. Although tamed for the sake of boundaries, it explores the complications and nuances that we know well.
System Exploration
Ongoing Exploration
Many notes, art, & discoveries from seven years of inner-system communication- not that we always knew what it was.
tIW: Observation
2021 - Ongoing - Streams
What would happen if you took 'the Inner Worlds', but instead of a single visitor... it's the entirety of Twitch chat, acting as a system themselves?The results did in fact surprise us.
We Welcome the Void
2020? - Animation
An animation documenting an inner world event, and how it felt to experience.
