My AR software is being discontinued, so I’m working on exporting as much content of my projects as possible. Once I have a moment, I’ll transition to a new platform. Ninjak cover art by Mico Suayan.

3D mockups and a jacket design I created for the Murder Drones Kickstarter! This campaign crushed it, soaring past the $1.7 million mark. Proud to have contributed to the project. This is the 2nd Kickstarter I’ve been part of that’s surpassed $680,000!

This was one of the glass covers I designed. I used a spot UV ink to really glow under black light. It gives the appearance the cover has energy flowing through it. Back end of the post shows my progression testing glow in the dark paint on a transparency.

This was another augmented reality piece triggered by an image anchor. The cover was deconstructed, animated in After Effects & imported into an AR platform. Cover art was by @davidnakayama

transformed the VeeFriends Issue #4 credits page into an #augmentedreality experience. I converted the layout into an image anchor, deconstructed the layout in PSD, prepped the effects in After Effects & brought it all to life in Adobe Aero.

Purchased the Make Big Films Worlds 3 pack and testing some of the assets in augmented reality. Need to tweak some assets so that they properly anchor. all in all, the images look great! Going to build out a whole scene at scale.

I set up a “The Future Is ****” digital AR takeover at Third Eye Comics in Annapolis, MA to celebrate an in-store signing. Issue #1 hits local comic shops next week — May 28!

The AR experience was built in Aero using its geospatial feature.

Just building upon an AR scene I created. Next step is have the boxes pop out of the portal.

Built some assets for The Rick and Morty 10th Anniversary Deluxe Omnibus Library on Kickstarter. This was a 3D mockup of the hardcover, slipcase and acetate cover.

Just got some more comps in! This one’s for Mane Entertainment’s Kickstarter The Last Spartan: Red Tape. I did the design and production work on a single issue, hardcover, graphic novel, and a script book. Had a blast working on this one!”

Just got my comps from ONI Press! Thrilled to have contributed to the Cult of the Lamb Kickstarter, which raised nearly $700K.
I worked on web graphics, merch, cover design and print treatments for hardcovers, trades, slipcases, and single issues.
Huge thanks to ONI for the opportunity!

I still haven’t given up on bringing #AR to comics. This was a piece I built a while back. Deconstructed and layered the cover in Photoshop. Added extra lighting layers for Livewire. Finally brought the piece into After Effects for the special effects and animation.

I thought it would be cool to build this AR experience for the REKCAH Publishing banner being used at ComicsPro. If I had time I would have placed this on the side of the convention building at 30 feet tall.

Super quick AR piece I built for a beer release. Took a screenshot of the label. Deconstructed it in Photoshop. Imported the layered PSD into After Effects. Added some basic animations, exported as a PNG sequence and brought it into Adobe Aero. Took maybe 30 minutes?
