You never work for the accolades; but I’m deeply appreciative of them nonetheless.

New work! Marvel has (re)launched Marvel Knights THE PUNISHER under the The WORLD TO COME banner, with a new #1 by Jimmy Palmiotti and Dan Panosian.

The design follows the treatment I created for THE WORLD TO COME, with #3 of that series also releasing this week.

I'm working with Collective Pictures on a new identity for their acclaimed CODE 8 movie franchise, which is spinning out into it's first graphic novel: CODE 8: TALES OF LINCOLN CITY — the first in a graphic novel series that explores the origin stories of Connor, Garrett and Lincoln City itself. Featuring breakout Hellboy artist Alex Nieto, legendary DC/Marvel cover artist Raúl Allén, and visionary X-Men graphic designer Tom Muller, this campaign-exclusive 120+ page graphic novel from Robbie Amell is an essential must-read story from the Code 8 universe.

🤘🏻SUPER EXCITED to announce today HEAVY METAL #1 (legacy #321) crash lands in stores everywhere, relaunching the cult classic disruptor for a new generation; and I’m delighted to announce that I’ve joined the ranks as Heavy Metal’s Art Director (thank you to my fellow Metal Head Chris Thompson for dragging me into the mosh pit!) The first issue is bridging the gap between old and new — taking what made Heavy Metal great and pushing it screaming into the future! A lot more cool stuff to come from us, but in the meantime, here’s a taste of the new look we’re cooking up! HEAVY!

DRIFTER: Omnia – the Complete Series

A 500+ page sci-fi hardcover by Iván Brandon & Nic Klein—rebuilt as a single designed object. Pledge early to be printed in the book.

Really happy to announce that the DRIFTER: OMNIA Kickstarter campaign is LIVE!

This is one close to my heart. The first long form series I designed alongside Iván Brandon & Nic Klein after we did Viking. Over the course of the series I was able to experiment with design and layout; letting it evolve with the story.

Now, DRIFTER: OMNIA is the definitive edition: a high-end 500+ page volume that collects the full story; with a completely remastered design, die-cut cover and slipcase. This is the art & design book your coffee table needs.

Great collaboration between SUMMONER and helloMuller for Theorycraft's game SUPERVIVE! Summoner brought helloMuller into the fold to develop the Pure Rush visual identity, toolkit and guidelines that captures the energy and action of the game, enhancing the core branding designed by Koto. Exciting times ahead for SUPERVIVE!
