Cover for SOUL OBSESSION by Kalista Neith and Fae Crate I also did the page end design for this edition -- very happy with how those turned out (it's more starry snakes). I think the cover ended up being one of my favourite pieces this year!

Final Fantasy IX scene for Magic: The Gathering and FINAL FANTASY collaboration

AD: Matt Cavotta

I am so proud to have this illustration as part of my portfolio. Not only because I was entrusted with such a key gig (although that did blow my mind at the time), but also because FFIX was such a big part of my childhood -- I can't believe I got to paint for it in an official capacity. Huge thanks to Matt for this assignment!

Nidhogg's Eye for Magic: The Gathering and FINAL FANTASY collaboration AD: Merideth Mulroney Like many, I grew up playing FF, so it still feels surreal that I was so lucky as to paint for it. Meredith was incredibly kind to assign me a FFXIV illustration -- thank you again! The number of hours I sank into that game is ungodly.
