Art by Grim-Vestige
I'm a writer, digital artist, and game dev with a passion for science fiction, horror, fantasy, and the badly underrepresented genre of dieselpunk!
My goal in life is to absorb the creative powers of those who inspire me, including friends, enemies, and people who have been dead for hundreds of years, and to overshadow their accomplishments a thousand times over.
Oh yeah, also, to make cool things, like stories, and money.
But hey, if you don't find yourself moved by my noble endeavor, have a gander at my socials below! Maybe you'll find something that interests you.
