Hello! My name is Makoto (he/him)
I am a settler on turtle island, currently living in so-called western massachusetts. My practice is primarily within tattooing, drawing, and painting; sometimes, I take up other mediums. I graduated from Emily Carr University with a bachelor's degree in Illustration in 2015, and am available for hire for illustration projects, gallery proposals, and projects that fall between and outside professional distinctions. I currently reside at the Lupinewood Collective.
For a long time, my name was Nomi Chi: that is no longer my name.
