It started here

  • My life would suck without you.

    Have you ever sat with a friend and just talked, but it was an almost transcendant experience? Like, it's just normal life, but also the whole point of living?

    The idea behind this art is for those conversations to look as magical on the outside as they feel on the inside.

Main Character Energy

Main Character Energy is a project that grew from the idea that you see your closest friends in a way that resembles how you imagine your most beloved book characters. The details of their face are less important to you than every experience you've ever had with them, and their literal character.

artist's book:

You don't have to tell me if you don't want to.

This artist book is one of my favourite things I've made in years. With pieces of the title on each tab, the pages flip to reveal the image with fewer and fewer layers. The final page is a typeset page with a longer poem. It's deceptively simple, and loaded with emotion. The title is a phrase I commonly use with my loved ones, beginning a creative trend that continues with the "love you, bye" pieces.

love you, bye

The phrase "love you, bye!" is super normalized in all my friendships and it all comes back to my mom. I say it because she says it, and when I asked her if it was something from her family growing up, she didn't think it was. Now, since I 've made this print and a large painting called "The Tosswill Goodbye", everyone who does this ritual with me now laughs about it because we're so aware of it.

The Tosswill Goodbye

Obviously, I'm not claiming my mom invented this phrase, but I invite you to follow her example and normalize expressing affection with every departure. 

This life-size painting is available and shipping will require a custom solution.

The themes feed into each other...

Comfort → Friendship → Romance

I've known for some time that Romance would follow Friendship in terms of creative themes. There were times that I imagined that I would explore Romance through my art while I was in a relationship, but I've mostly done it while single and actively dating. While Friendship was by no means performative, I think I needed to set up a foundation to express how much I value my platonic loves, and how they still don’t fulfill my need for Romance.

My life and my creative practice are inextricably linked and that’s okay, so long as my practice follows my desire to live a full life, rather than my life revolving around my practice.
