i'm A, would love to draw some more collections of symbols & glimpses in any form (covers, posters, etc) #portfolioday

2 risograph prints. one is a collection of images: a molted cicada shell and a bundle of plant stalks trailing off into tendrils & tied by a yellow ribbon over panels of train tracks surrounded by grass & trees under a reddish sky; the dark entrance to a tunnel; a shadowy crowd. the other shows foliage hangs around a looming cave mouth—total darkness hides whatever may be inside. in a small panel above, slashes of red spill out into swirls of teal & ochre. risograph printed cover art for Side Story: an assemblage of panels showing glimpses into different scenes and symbols: ruins in an arch, a doorway over the sea, a ladder against a tree, a kite in the sky; dice, knucklebone, hourglass, clover chain. a comet sweeps over scattered flames, suspended between a starry night sky & a nervous system. symbols (an eye, a sickle, a drop of blood, texts on a phone, a mushroom, lightning, a mirror, a bird) are arranged in small panels around the scene. a biological tree of life poster: small panels show examples of animals from different phyla, including spiralia (octopus, giant clam), chordata (birds, mammals, fish), amblacraria (urchins, sea stars), and porifera (sponges). behind them are curving branches of a symbolic tree, in shades of blue. other panel sequences show different cellular processes, and the sun & moon in endless procession.

3D modelling tip: make your work more enjoyable by finding realtime rendering settings that make your scene look like a half-remembered dream.
