Hello there. I’m Mav.

Maveran • (muh-VAIR-in) • “Mav” rhymes with “have”

I’ve done a lot. It doesn’t amount to much on a traditional resume, but meh. That’s how art goes.


Here’s what my educational and professional background has included:

  • Drawing, painting, and most forms of traditional art
  • Digital painting (Photoshop + Wacom tablet)
  • Typesetting. design, and pre-press for self-published books, small business materials, and promo products
  • Logo design
  • Cover art & storybook illustration
  • Web design
  • Photography & photo retouching
you scrolled this far. wow.

You actually want to know about ME?

Why? Even I don’t like thinking about the fact I’m a real person, lol. Let’s just pretend I’m an alligator.

If you must.


Fiiiiiiiiiine. I’m not really a gator, but I guess I wasn’t fooling anyone.

I’m a mid-30s man from the U.S. (unfortunately). I live off-grid with my husband in Appalachia, fulfilling my dream of being a full time cryptid. I’m a working occultist, artist, and homesteader. I like fantasy, sci-fi, speculative stuff of all sorts, a wide range of music, and pretty much every kind of art under the sun. My formal education is in English, Communications, Classics, and Historic Preservation.

Archiving and stewardship are very important to me, both online and off. I care deeply about the natural world and do what I can to create sustainable and hospitable conditions for wildlife on our property. I enjoy picking blackberries, befriending the crows, and foraging for mushrooms.

I also spend a good amount of time combing the internet for obscure pieces of Elder Scrolls art and apocrypha. Fanworks are often undervalued as “real” art, and therefore under-preserved, despite bringing joy and a sense of interconnection to many thousands of people. I have had the pleasure of meeting so many wonderful folks in TES communities, and consider it an honor to serve them all.

Also, my husband is really cool. You should check him out too.

Stewardship

I’m the steward of the unofficial and dubiously canonical website that is c0da.es which is tangentially related to the Elder Scrolls. I curate TES fanart and fan resources there. Feel free to message me about that anytime.
