Hi hello howdy #portfolioday
I've worked in editorial, publishing, advertising, video games, studio production, animation and TTRPGs. Lately it's been mostly book projects and cards. I like drawing everything, but especially light 🌥️

He's currently playing it without me! In the other room! Laughing and having the time of his life! Who is this stranger?!

I have always enjoyed games and my partner never has. He played Mario and arcade games as a child but has rejected every game I’ve tried to entice him with, from side scrollers to rogue-likes. So imagine my utter shock that THIS…THIS is the first game in 17 years that he wants to play.

So sad to hear about Drew Struzan's passing, a man who influenced thousands of illustrators and who established the aesthetics for decades of film posters. RIP.

The amount of scatological humor and pooping euphemisms coming from Gary Oldman this season on Slow Houses is truly inspired. The writers have outdone themselves and I thank them for their service in contributing to pee pee poo poo joke culture.

The unique cruelty of reading a book for a cover job aka well before its publishing date and it ends on a cliff hanger. Why, WHY

Idk about you guys but I love wearing a cloak so poorly cut in the arms that it puts all pressure directly across my tits. It's great. Flatten those puppies down. Raise my arms? Not today, not in this economy.

Rewatching the Witcher and can we all agree that a crime was committed against this woman's body by the costume department.

Screenshot of Fringilla from the Witcher Season 1 wearing the world's most unflattering, breast flattening, arm constricting blue silk cloak that I've ever seen.

Another rad project from this fall, I was asked to reimagine the cover of "Divergent" for a deluxe, special edition printing from HarperCollins. The cover will be foiled & embossed, w/ a beautiful silver foil type treatment on the paper edges. ADs Amy & Joel were truly a delight to work with!

Mock up of the special edition cover of Divergent, the flames embossed and reflective, a silver foil of "DIVERGENT" in all caps across the paper edges.

Illustration of a circle of flames spiraling towards the center of the cover, ravens flying across with a fire at it's center, behind all of this a city scape silhouette against a starry sky,

Many of these “illustrations” aren’t based on verified intelligence at all.

Our analysis of 43 official IDF videos found recycled 3D environments, spatial inaccuracies, and assets lifted from unrelated artists and institutions.

Cosmo is very careful with stuffed toys, he does not tear them up, he lovingly carries them around the house like they are his best friends. This is a Christmas pickle someone gave him over three years ago :,,,)

Trying to power through a bone abscess and a cracked crown for a deadline on Friday and it's going* about as well as one would expect.

*Not, not going.

Yes, and honestly, I just had to buy a new pen. I think I dropped the old one on the ground too many times. ⚰️
