Live your days like it’s doomsday!!
From a single tree in the plains of a mostly barren nuclear environment inhabits a duo, a raccoon named Doons and a cat named Dai. Despite the harsh and wacky environment created by radioactive fallout, they use whatever they can to survive the rest of their days while exploring the many vast lands around them for treasures and junk to fill their home with.
DoonsDai started as a project for a college comic class, learning the tedious and traditional process of making comics. From drafting the set up of panels, to breaking down written ideas into tangible visual drawings. It’s visually rough about how it’s made, but it encompasses the style I wanted to go for that represents the world these creatures live in. It is archived on this site located in the highlighted link -> DoonsDai (2022)
DoonsDai later returned for short form inked 4 panel comics posted only on twitter to see if 4 panel comics worked better before being shelved entirely after the summer of 2022. They will return one day, but most likely in a different and reimagined form.

Beyond the turbulent forest of vines is a creature who sits on rocks, playing sounds of the colors that define it’s soul against the heavy grain of chaos. The sounds puncture the very fabric of discord, running from it’s call. Even the chaos itself fears the colorful chaos it created within the creature.
June is usually a turbulent month for me, and so I took the time to create this artwork on and off throughout most of the month. This also represents a defining point of where I stand in my journey as an artist, not only in art style, but my headspace moving forward. It’s disorderly but deeply I can at least find solace in myself to keep moving forward, and living on. I took inspirations from the Spiderverse movies, especially the way Spiderpunk in the movies is visually presented with their use of chaotic linework, multimedia, and inconsistency. Music also helped in the process too in setting the mood, particularly music from the band Pierce the Veil.
