Handmade business cards, 2025

After a couple of years, I felt like it was time to rebrand and try to divest as much as I can from larger corporations whose interests conflict with my own. Surprisingly, it was quicker and less painful than I predicted. Here's to small victories.

process/sneak preview for the ttrpg/dungeon zine, I’ve been working on. It’s going to (hopefully) have some nice influence and homage to 90s-00s ‘golden age’ of Japanese roleplaying games like Grandia, Chrono Cross, Vagrant Story, and FFVI-IX.

Magic Gum fantasy prop concept, 2025

I was inspired by the Obojima TTRPG setting with it’s blend of 1980s toy and street cultures and wanted to make a little prop for a magic item based on chewing gum that lets you cast one of the 5e dragonborn’s breath spells; orange for fire, blue for thunder, and green for acid.

Yusuke poster-zine, 2025

Using an old sketch I made of Yusuke's cut-in from Persona 5, I printed various versions and overlaid some patterns and textures over the image for a modular four-block pop art piece.

Birds, collage, 2021, 26x34 inches

This piece was an attempt after my first series of smaller prints to compare scaling and production timelines. After creating ten pieces that were 12" square over a course of six weeks, I wanted to see if I could increase the size of an image while decreasing the time it took to produce, using the same general method as before.

It was also an attempt to use up some old art supplies, and thus, "earn" shiny new tools and the "right" to pursue fun new projects. I tried a technique of fully inking the pages from a book of bird illustrations in a series of monochromes to 'kill' old markers. I then cut the images into raw elements and collaged them together into an image that could start to feel monumental and symbolic as it grew in scale.

Overall, I think I could have gone bigger and probably would have fared better taking more time to make a more planned image with more detail. Part of the issue I was facing at the time was my overall physical stamina feeling run low, so I thought the "bigger and faster" approach would kickstart something new with my art.

Former company logo for Mapricot Prints, the branding identity I originally came up with for my art business. The original focus was going to be on blending digital and handmade processes, and I wanted to reflect that in the logo, along with the silly portmanteau of a map+apricot.

Email banners, antique weapons sales campaigns, 2016-2018

Highlights from the 100+ email campaigns I designed for antique weapons sales campaigns. The budget was limited, so all images of products were produced in-house, usually by the lead photographer, sometimes by myself. Landscape images were public domain or creative commons images that I found online and further manipulated in photoshop cs4.
