Illustration
Wanderer
Created as the solution to the “Where do you see yourself in 5 years?” prompt for a graduate project. Acrylic paint on parachute cloth.
Not the Same
Based on the quote from Heraclitus, “No man ever steps in the same river twice, for it's not the same river and he's not the same man.” This was created as part of a typography poster contest. It is hand-lettered and drawn in ink, then colored digitally.
Reynaud
One full-page illustration for a children’s book assignment. This is Reynaud, the fox character from Something Nasty in the Cabbages, an old story which has origins with Chaucer.
Chanticleer
This is the facing page to “Reynaud.” Chanticleer is the rooster character who foils Reynaud’s plan of sampling a flock of hens.
Herring's Green Grass Farm
This is a close-up of the animal portraits I created for the Herring’s Green Grass Farm sign. The entire sign measures 8’ x 4’ and is painted with Nova Color acrylic paint and sealed to ensure lightfastness.
GMOs
Created as a commentary on GMOs and their profitability for bioengineering companies, this conceptual illustration is done in acrylic paint on canvas board.
Fantasy is Escapist
This is part of a personal series of hand-lettered quotes by authors on writing. As a major book nerd, I am inspired by an assertion that my escapist habits are positive. This is done in pencil and metallic gold paint on paper, then digitally edited.
The First Draft
Sir Terry Pratchett might be my favorite author of all time, and this quote got me through writing a novel as part of my master’s thesis. This is the second piece in a series of hand-lettered quotes by authors on writing. It is done in colored pencil on Mohawk (birch, vellum finish) paper.
