Selected projects
Untilted - a mostly experimental comic strip
I started working on this project in the beginning of 2025. It's a primarily digital, multimedium comic strip that explores the inner life of a solitary nameless protagonist. Each episodic installment alternates between brief encounters with random strangers and introspective monologues, employing a stream‑of‑consciousness narrative style. Designed mostly to fill a gap in positive fictional portrayals of loners and also to make traditional and digital abstract art more accessible to a wider audience.
Education
I graduated from the High School of Art and Design in 2020 and the State University of New York at Delhi in 2022 with an Associate's Degree in Welding Technology (Associate of Occupational Studies). However, I took a three‑year period post‑graduation to get clarity on the direction of my career. I realized that I still had a strong passion for art after all, while recognizing my current limitations when it comes to traditional education and employment models. Since 2025, I find that self‑directed learning and portfolio development have been really helpful and necessary in positioning myself for an independent professional art career.
