For a long time, I had lost the capacity to make things just for myself.
My career lived in design systems, marketing goals, client needs, and practical outcomes. Creative, yes—but always in service of something external. Art was something I understood, something I respected deeply, but something I kept at a distance in my personal life for quite some time.
Then something shifted.
Whether it came from my own process of self-exploration and acceptance, or as a response to the deepening despair of the world around me, a light flickered—and began to grow.
Quiet experimentation turned into a body of work that refused to stay small. Strange little guardians began to appear. Tender creatures. Watchers. Beasts. Things that felt protective and soft and a little feral all at once.
They weren’t illustrations of ideas. I wasn’t trying to say anything at first.
They were feelings. Responses. Instincts.
Over time, those small flames became a fire—a language I could use to communicate what I didn’t yet have words for.
Softcore Anarchy is the result of that process.
This book is a visual mythology built around contradiction:
softness and rage,
innocence and vigilance,
humor and grief.
It explores what happens when tenderness refuses to be dismissed as weakness, and when staying soft becomes a quiet act of rebellion.
The book unfolds across four sections:
The Holy — the light we started with, the quiet guardians, the parts of us that were never broken
The Broken — what was taken, what fractured, and what still lingers beneath memory
The Radiant — bravery, visibility, chosen kin, and the courage it takes to exist authentically in a world that resists it
The Beasts — monsters as protectors, companions, and witnesses who stand with us in the dark
Rather than captions or standalone explanations, the book carries a rolling narrative—one that moves as you turn the pages. The text isn’t there to instruct or clarify. It’s there to accompany. To sit beside the images and allow meaning to emerge slowly.
At its core, Softcore Anarchy is about remaining human in a culture that often rewards hardness, detachment, and cruelty. It’s about the radical choice to feel deeply, to protect what’s tender, and to reject the idea that survival requires becoming less ourselves.
The book is being released as a presale, with two editions available:
Standard Hardcover Edition — a classic coffee table art book
Premium Lay-Flat Edition — designed for full visual immersion, with uninterrupted panoramic spreads
Both editions contain the complete work. The difference is in the physical experience—how the book opens, rests, and lives with you.
This project exists because of patience, curiosity, and the freedom to explore without needing permission. It exists because I finally allowed myself to make something that didn’t need to be optimized or justified.
If you’ve ever felt drawn to softness but told yourself it wasn’t practical.
If you’ve ever loved strange things because they felt honest.
If you’ve ever needed a reminder that tenderness can be powerful—
This book is for you.
Softcore Anarchy is meant to be lived with.
You’re welcome to experience the entire book digitally, from beginning to end, here on this site — to move through the images and the narrative at your own pace, wherever you are.
For those who want to carry it into their daily lives, the physical editions offer something different: weight, presence, and ritual. A book you can leave open on a table. A reminder you return to. A quiet companion that sits with you through ordinary days and harder ones.
Both paths are valid.
One invites reflection in the moment.
The other becomes part of your space — and part of your routine.
Choose the way that feels right to you.
