I drew a bunch of cartoon versions of myself today. I'm in the process of coloring them digitally and I hope to finish them tomorrow. You can check out my TikTok or Instagram @jcolechristensen to see more recent progress. Cheers!

A postcard & poster I designed for an upcoming Pop-Up sale for Ultimate Comics.

A social media graphic I put together for Ultimate Comics to help promote new comic book day, March 22, 2023. I need to make some changes to the template for next week, but I was pretty pleased with how this turned out.

Another promotional campaign for last year's Batman/Spawn crossover. Up top is the social media graphic, and below are the posters I made using a few different covers of the book. The poster designs were never used, which I'm honestly happy about. Not my best work, but that's okay. As a designer, every assignment is an opportunity to learn and grow.

My most recent drawing using ink and alcohol markers. My scanner cropped this a little funny.

Digital coloring practice in Adobe Illustrator using a sketch gifted to me by comic book artist Troy Dongarra.

From sketch to final design, this is another project for my final design portfolio. The assignment began as an isometric drawing and later used for a user manual and packaging design.

A pencil drawing from an old art class. The prompt was to play with size and proportions, inspiring this scene. I think I did this back in 2019?

Here's a design project from back when I was in school. I was asked to create a beer label, along with mockups and brand merchandise. I really love the quirky vibes the little mascots give the brand. :P

Throwback to promotional materials I made for @mrlovenstein's first official comic shop signing at Ultimate Comics in Cary, NC back in January. On the left is a 20x30 poster and on the right is a social media graphic.

My first assignment from Ultimate Comics was for this double sided postcard promoting Halloween Comicfest and another Pop-Up event in 2022.
