Projects

  They Might Be Giants Editorial IllustrationsThese are conceptual/editorial illustrations based on lyrics from They Might Be Giants songs. It was a fun challenge to try to illustrate lyrics that are so abstract and strange.
• Mortal Kombat 80s-style IllustrationsI created these 80s Memphis design-inspired Mortal Kombat 11 illustrations. This project was an absolute joy.

  Visions from the Upside Down: Stranger Things ArtbookThese Stranger Things Illustrations were done for a project with Netflix, Printed In Blood, and Del Rey Books. Printed In Blood collaborated with Netflix to put together a book of art inspired by the popular show. I love Stranger Things so this project was an absolute joy to work on. They even included a quote from me expressing my love for the series.
