Sneak peeks at my progress on the Boulder’s Beach piece! Still a WIP. Stay tuned for the final version.

This was a project that I was lucky enough to work on over this summer, for the Uber offices in Cape Town, South Africa. I’ve been working on adding color to them on my own but Uber wanted grayscale with their blue accent color.

The Peacock in the Pink, first in the Flamingo Flock Detective Series ;)

This was my submission for Esther Pearl Watson’s visiting artist assignment this past spring. Really loved this assignment & am feeling more and more comfortable with working digitally.

“Silence” themed comic page I did for a NOBROW project. 

I just really want to be a tree.

This is still a work in progress but, it's a comic spread I did based on the Rocks & Daggers song by Noah and the Whale. I think the most impressive part is the fact that the surfer manages to keep his glasses on during the whole thing!

Mobius, aka a looped comic, for my comics class. I'm really liking the sequential narrative process that we've been getting into this semester!

My ten favorite pages from my daily comics assignment. The project spanned 42 days and mainly depicted food, sleep and stress :)

Homage to the Waldeck Farmstead

Paying tribute to the many memories that linger in Cedarville, West Virginia, I have made a planter out of ceramics that is currently growing marigolds and leaf lettuce. As time has gone on, many people have passed through this beautiful homestead. The Waldeck Farm has shaped us all in varying amounts and ways, and in turn has acted as a vessel for our many memories. It has acted as a center-point for many families to come together as one, cultivating love and friendship through generations.

One of my last projects of this semester! It feels good to have a break and it feels good to give away these trading cards to my hard working illustration mates.

Movie poster for Silver Linings Playbook | 2014

Still a WIP but I'm happy with it so far. Also added some process shots from along the way: I usually draw traditionally with pen and then add color in photoshop like I did on this project.

This is a mock up for a collaboration project I completed recently. 

It is a design for a hypothetical Converse shoe to be sold with profits benefitting Greenpeace. My design reflects Greenpeace's efforts to promote sustainable seafood consumption, featuring Red Listed fish species and endangered bycatch victims.
