LOGOS
1.
Sutherland CreativeClass project
“This logo was inspired by Avatar. The client wanted something informal with script. My biggest challenge was trying to make something tribal look professional.”
2.
ClearmistCommission for a friend
“Clearmist’s marketing strategy is to play up their environment-friendly message. This is a automotive anti-fog spray.”
Imperial MotorsCommission for a friend
“I wanted to give this client a unique logo. Even though it’s for an automotive business, I wanted to convey, rather than speed, a sense of luxury and emporium.”
3.
Chicago Blues FestivalClass project
“I like the nostalgia of blues. Playing that aspect up with a hand-painted component seemed very natural.”
4.
Mouse’s Book CafeClass project
“Hipsters. We got to pick the audience for this assignment, and I decided it would be so fun to draw a mouse with glasses.”

WEBSITEHEADERS
1.
PandaProsePandaprose.wordpress.comPersonal project
“I enjoy using collage for headers to show the variety of the contents of the website. In this case, it was a blog dedicated to creative writing about pandas, so it had to be.”
2.
Sammy WitnessSammywitness.comCommission for a friend
“Using some imagery from her songs, this banner connotes the singer’s playful side.”
ThreadblairThreadblair.wordpress.comCommission for a friend
“I collaged photographs of this blogger’s travels with his favorite colors and motifs from topics he writes.”
3.
Science for ArtistsPersonal project
“My goal with this blog was to show how beautiful science is. Using different fractals and other natural geometric s shapes, I created this crisp and slightly off balance banner.

ILLUSTRATION
1.
Christmas CardPen and inkSelf-Promotion
“The night before Christmas made with pen nib and ink. Something quirky since Christmas is so done”
2.
HouseAcrylic paintPersonal work
“The geometric nature of the house spoke for itself . I just added the paint. I wanted to convey the sentimentality that comes with house portraits, the effect that differentiates them from real estate ads.”
Yoks with CakeAdobe Illustrator, pen toolPersonal work
“This webcomic of mine as a ‘supercute’ aesthetic. Each illustration is part eye-candy, part puzzle. Who put that cake on his butt? Will that person be mad because it’s delivery guy took a taste?.”
3.
Time like a GoldfishPen and inkClass project
“The assignment was to do spot illustrations for an article in the NewYorker. David Eagleman wrote a piece about the perception of time and used the goldfish analogy to describe how moments trigger different time signatures.”

WORDPRESS
1.
Ment CatKatikati.wordperss.comPersonal blog
“I know that black shows better on white text than the other way around, but I wanted to convey the idea of Basement Cat. The idea of the mind being a dark place and then products of the imagination giving it color and lightness.”
2.
PandaProsePandaprose.wordpress.comPersonal work
“This was an online campaign to encourage some fun randomness. I wanted to keep the look simple and to the point– pandas.”
Science for ArtistsScienceforartists.wordpress.comPersonal work
“I’m inspired by the overlap between science and art, an intersection where visual thinking is praised. It’s imperative for each article to have an illustration.”
3.
Mr.YoksMryoks.comPersonal work
“I made this character based off of a stuffed animal. The simplicity of the webcomic, in my mind at least, relates to the hope and promise that a blank piece of paper is given to a child. And the minimalist lines of the character, Yoks’ body. I wanted it to be accessible.

PRINT DESIGN
1.
Chicago Blues Festival11x17’’ posterClass project
“Hot pink was an accident. I was making a colored sketch at a friend’s house and they didn’t have a lot of color choices, but then I liked it. The color has a lot of ‘nightlife’ energy.”
2.
Laura MarlingCD case coverClass project
“Her morose themes for this album influenced me to twist the sweetness of the flower during the photoshoot.”
Peter Behrens17x11’’ poster with 3-d paper elementsClass project
“The parameters of the assignment was inspiring. It could have depth, the teacher said. Considering the subject of my poster was an architect, I experimented with folding paper until I had some sections I liked.”
3.
Frederica Von Stade17x11’’ posterClass project
“The assignment called for an imaginary event: opera at a dive bar. The pencil effect hints at artsy dim light that the Twilight Exit emanates..”
4.
Set of Book Covers6x9’’ book coversClass project
“Inspired by birds.”
