🌼 BIG NEWS 🌼

I just finished my first week in my new role as Art Director for Inklore (Penguin Random House's manga/manhwa imprint). I'm very excited to continue to build up this imprint and work on books that will make the fujos in my life proud.

There’s so much to be gained from just picking up random jazz vinyl because the art RULES.

Sea Legs by @nikismithcomics.bsky.social & @julesbakes.bsky.social
is out! And I wanted to share some alt title treatments. :)

This is one of those that just came together really naturally, so I actually don't have a TON of iterations. Check the alt text for my thoughts about each one tho. ⛵

Once again it’s that time where I post every book I designed that was published within the calendar year.

As always, I’m eternally grateful to every artist who trusts me with their work, and I feel so lucky to work on such an eclectic stack of books.

Most books I work on tend to have a document that looks like this at some point. It's fun to compare everything and imagine the possible potential of each one.

This is the best part of the process for me because it is the one that is the most PLAY, just noodling and figuring some things out.

Please Be My Star by @fridayafternoon.bsky.social has been out for a few weeks and I thought I could share some of my fave alt title treatments.

Ultimately we went with something more purely romantic, but it was fun to play in some parallel genres. Check the alt text for my thoughts about each one.

The National Print Museum in Dublin is a treasure for designers everywhere. Tiny but with very thorough staff that will answer any question about the machines or craft. A must visit. Plus their cafe is VERY charming.

I received this lovely portrait from Alina Wahab by participating in the co-op's esim thank you art drive.

We have to do what we can to help Palestinians and this is an extremely affordable and low-effort but high-impact way to contribute that will make a huge difference to the people in need.

The sinigang Tajin snickerdoodles do in fact rock for a New Year’s Day treat.

Bonus round for all the silver sprocket floppies that don’t have a spine to photograph.

All the books I designed that were published in this calendar year!!

Thank you to all the artists who trusted me with their work. I’m so grateful to have worked on such a cool list of books and hopefully made a printed object you are proud of.

My dog mug came out good!!! I’m proud!

The painted rather than dipped glazing gave him a very cool scruffy effect that I love.
