Loose grayscale marker painting of a video viewed in the Youtube app: Three figures defined by the impressions of leather jackets and top hats as the rest of them blends in with the light background, save for the hint of eye indents, a hand slung over a black guitar, wisps of hair. Autocaption: "crazy for" A single comment at the top of an otherwise empty box filling half the screen: "I might just sit here for a bit". Music video for Steam Powered Giraffe's "Honeybee".

various views of a 3d chibi character with a sci-fi design: vibrant gradient hair and a dark short one-piece shorts-suit with hard light adornments. his short hair transitions from chartreuse to cyan to purple and magenta, and the gradient is reflected in his sharp, exaggerated eyeline.

vroid model (2023)

vroid vtuber character design 2023 never did anything with this... who knows if i ever will. i have other ideas but the design was really cute for the amount of time i spent on it vroid is fun to play with. i did actually rig him up with like the hana tool expressions and stuff but i dont have a good gif of it and im just trying to clean out my project archives with minimal processing for publication digital art experiment

Abstract digital vector silhouettes of foliage, a ghostly white tree with dangling moss near a pond whose water reflections turn into fish. in 5 colors: black, hunter green, lime green, teal, and white.

The same vector scene made real with vinyl stickers; The white has been replaced with a warm-toned iridescent vinyl that makes the water and fish shimmer and the tree flash between yellow, orange, coral, and magenta as the viewer moves.

vinyl cutter demonstration (2020)

digital art vector art vinyl cutter used to work at makerspace and taught people to use vinyl cutter so i wanted to demonstrate multi-layered prints the photograph of the iridescent print is somewhat poor but it's the only one i have as the work is still in the location. though it may have been taken down since it's been 5 years doodle polished experiment

in stark black and white, spines erupt from the back of an ink-dipped hand, the other arm crossing the body, dark eye dripping a long unbroken line of ink onto the clawed fingers. sharp black teeth grimace, eyelashes become spikes, the body is held in an unnatural pose.

oh, blackest heart (2020)

traditional art painted with black 3.0 that someone had around. on marker paper which didnt like it. so finished with ink illustration this was a nice era of my art. i hope to recapture what i liked about it sometime doodle polished

Impressionistic digital painting of two large, somewhat hawklike birds on a tree: One iridescent blue with brown head and accents, the other mostly cream with an iridescent chest. The cream one unfolds its wings halfway to adjust itself.

birds i met in my dream. a bit larger than a hawk, iridescent.

Page 1/Cover: I'm a System - What does that mean? A short introduction to my personal experience of being a system, for friends. By index luna. (Decorated with confetti, shapes, and cat shapes.)

2: Basically... My outside actions and words are governed by a collection of internal PARTS of me which each hold their own priorities, memories, and identities. These parts can and do SHARE things with each other, but may be holding things others don't have access to. (Image: Irregular shapes which sometimes overlap and other times "carve out" a space where the other does not go.)

3: At different times, different parts may have more say over how I outwardly present. But in an unfamiliar situation, I am rarely dominated by one part, but averaging a number of influences. (Image: A head full of various shapes--Circle, triangle, square, worm, cat... It exits the brain as a convoluted hybrid. Caption: We... Try our best.)

4: I think to some extent all people have different parts inside of them, but my parts can have radical differences in identity and memory--We're a DISSOCIATIVE SYSTEM. (Image: A square and circle look at each other in confusion, not recognizing the other.) My work is to INCREASE COMMUNICATION between these parts that feel quite alien from each other so that we can share our authentic selves with the world and make decisions we're all happy with. (Image: A table with several shapes looking at a document. Speech bubble: "All in favor?")

5: Knowledge of specific parts, especially who's closest "to the front", is very intimate for me. I don't necessarily want to be referred to in the plural. Mostly, I want people to know that I hold a VARIETY OF PERSPECTIVES--And a variety of personalities, a variety of forms. (Image: A wavy animal shape says, "It can be fun!" A tall rectangle says, "It can also be boring". "Such is the multifaceted life...!")

6: EVERY PART IS "ME", from the most prominent and outward-facing to those that only want to speak with others inside. Even though individual parts may not identify with each other, we are all part of a whole, and have the same goal of SURVIVING and THRIVING in the life and the body we were given. (Image: "Mission: LIVE!!" with me making an action pose.)

7: I think the best thing a friend can do is just be patient, listen with intent, and express curiosity about their own inner experiences--Not just mine. I try to be COMPASSIONATE with myself, even the parts that cause me trouble, and I want to inspire others to do the same. (Image: Two shapes hug to form a heart, surrounded by confetti.)

8/Back cover: I'm passionate about increasing awareness and acceptance of systems in the many ways we exist. I think there are a lot of people who would benefit from learning about systems, especially people who might realize they are one!

3 impressionistic sticky note doodles of a fluffy white puppy stretched on a floor, in various levels of fidelity - one a contour situated in a background, one a nondescript trace, and one a more dimensional sketch.
