My name is Aren Kugler and I am a queer disabled freelance artist setting up a fine woodworking business. I make various wooden items such as hair sticks, jewelry charms, woodburned pendants, and more. I also hope to include metalwork among my products soon, which should include pendants, general jewelry, and inlays in wood. I try my very best to use recycled materials wherever possible to reduce my environmental impact, as well as biodegradable and completely natural materials.Â
I also make digital art and take commissions for my artwork. Character portraits and scenes, illustrated fantasy maps, and logo designs and re-renderings are my primary works. Many small businesses and legal bodies are sporting my designs and re-renderings. I also dabble in the fiber arts, largely inspired by my interest in historical clothing and fashion.

Woodwork
Black walnut hair sticks (above) are one of my biggest sellers right now. I also make woodburned and/or carved pendants and charms for jewelry. My favorite finishes are walnut oil and shellac.
Digital Art
My digital art commissions have been my biggest seller by far, with several years' worth of commissions under my belt. Character portraits/scenes are the most commonly commissioned pieces.
Fiber Arts
I've sold a surprisingly large amount of my English fisherman's knit caps (above). The long body is perfect to fold the brim up to whatever length is desired, and adds a comfortable, snug feeling.
