Hello! You may have seen me by my alias MindMeats around the internet. I'm a recent graduate from The Kansas City Art Institute with a Bachelors Degree in Liberal Arts and Illustration. I live in the Kansas City, Kansas area for now, but I'm looking for new opportunities everywhere.I've always had a passion of storytelling in animated and comic mediums, and I'm inspired by games and other multimedias.I work retail jobs on the side to support myself in the meantime, but I'm also seeking a career in storyboarding or other careers relating to visual storytelling.My art is primarily done in Clip Studio Paint and Photoshop. My work sometimes features my concepts of different characters and narratives, and portray them with vivid colors and slightly surreal imagery.
My resume is available upon request.

How to commission me:

I have a google form or Ko-Fi commission options to make it easier to submit a commission order, but you are still more than welcome to email me or DM.When you contact me, I'll respond with a few questions to work with your vision. Before you do, here are a few things to keep in mind:
-I'll ask you to provide some visual reference of some sort, even if you have a written description. This helps me develop the image a lot faster and get it to you a lot quicker.
-Please specify which style you would like (cel shaded, painted, half body, ect.) or ask about my other options. I will then tell you the price of that commission (if it is not shown on the sheet)I have to receive some sort of payment up front. If you would like to pay half the price then in full when it’s done, that would be a valid option. If you choose to pay more than the listed price, I will add a little bit more detail into your commission.
I will also send progress screenshots of the sketch, coloring, and shading to make sure you are satisfied.Feel free to ask me any questions you might have, even if it was mentioned on this page.I use Paypal, Ko-Fi, or Venmo for payment

  • furries, monsters, aliens, humans, ect.

  • blood, gore, disturbing imagery, and body horror

  • nudity/pinups (you must be 18 years or older to commission this from me)
