My Bio

I'm a Twitch Streamer, YouTube Content Creator, musician, photographer, artist, gamer, and more.

Update for 2021: A lot of things are changing for me, and in turn I'm changing a lot of things I have online. I'm ready to return to the art world after a long hiatus due to an injury. You should check out my Buy Me A Coffee page!

I only favorite things I really like. Everyone is welcome for favorites I give, and I'd like to give thanks for the awesome artwork to you too.

Thank you for all of the favorites, watches, and llamas! I'm not always able to get to someone's page and thank them so I wanted to say right here I appreciate every single one! I stay very busy, and don't have a lot of time to spend on DA anymore, but I'm trying my best to put time into it.
