Hi, I Am Youssef Helles

help I forgot we called em arm

made a lil highlight reel of a certain two characters from a certain new favorite dnd podcast :D

audio source: The Game Is Afoot! podcast

I made this d20 patch for a friend! I might do more, since they’re fun and easy.

Platonic love songs, part 2! Thanks to @overcaffeinated-aro for the song recommendation: Talk to Me by Cavetown!

[ID: a calligraphy piece covering a full sheet of off-white resumé paper. Written in dull gold ink, it reads: “We can talk here on the floor, on the phone if you’d prefer...” The words ‘floor’ and ‘prefer’ are larger and bolder than the rest. Around the text, detailed paisley designs in white ink fill up the empty spaces.]

Word art!!!

The first in what will hopefully be a series of platonic love song calligraphy pieces!

Please send me song recs, these are hard to find! (Bonus points if the song is explicitly written for a friend or family member.)

[ID: song lyrics written out in purple and blue. It reads:

“From Poprocks & Coke - Green Day:

I don’t care if you don’t mind / I’ll be there, not far behind / I will dare, keep in mind / I’ll be there for you.”

The line “I’ll be there for you” is done in flourished calligraphy, the rest in all-caps lettering. The border is decorated with blue hearts and lightning bolts.]

I finally got a real gothic calligraphy pen! It's already so much better than my old pencil-and-sharpie method.

(In the first picture, I swapped from black ink to red for a gradient effect.)

impulse bought some shiny ink at the craft store and it ended up being perfect for the lyrics from Take It Back by @bughuntermusic ! i’m hoping to make a larger piece from this song later but for now have this little thing

trying to be cool on instagram has me doing all sorts of ridiculous things... but I really want to get my art out there...

anyway, enjoy this calligraphy photoshoot

Decided to try my hand at animating some song lyrics!

Audio: The Squip Song - Be More Chill

[ID: a stop-motion style video, starting with a blank index card and a red pen. Words appear in red and dark blue lettering as the lyrics are sung. Geometric designs fill up blank spaces. By the end of the video, the index card is filled up.

Lyrics read: “Freshman year / I didn’t have a girlfriend or a clue. / I was a loser just like you. / Good times would only / soar by.” END ID]

Bike embroidery with pride colors! I'm quite proud of this one.
