Projects
- Adobe Fresco: TrialRecently, I was asked by Adobe and Wacom if I would like to test out Adobe Fresco on my Wacom MobileStudio Pro. Of course, I agreed to take on the challenge. As you may or may not know Adobe Fresco is a painting and design application that recently launched on iPad, but it is also available for Wacom's MobileStudio Pro which runs Windows 10. This illustration is my second attempt using Fresco. I decided to do something fun and recreate the character Tiny from Gearbox Software's Borderlands 3
- Lürzer’s Archive: The InfluencerIn the spring of 2019, I received a surprise email from the Lürzer’s Archive. I had won a full page in the German version of their magazine that I could use to promote myself and my work. Naturally, I was very excited. I began working on several ideas and finally decided on one. In today’s world, social media and influencer marketing plays a big role in how consumer views brands. Because of this, I decided to create an illustration that encompassed the various social platforms in a manner that
- Stranger Things: Digital SketchIt was a chilly misty Sunday afternoon, what started out as simple fun sketch soon became quite STRANGE! The idea was to create quick digital sketch of Millie Bobby Brown who plays Eleven on Netflix's Stranger Things. I really liked the texture of the blue outlines and feel that they give the illustration a nice contrast. The image was created using Adobe Photoshop and Wacom MobileStudio Pro.
- Funko Pop: Fortnite Brite BomberFor this project I used the iPad app Vectornator to recreate the Fornite Brite Bomber FunkoPop. This is the first FunkoPop that I created using Vectornator, thus it took me a little time to create. Not to mention I think I chose a FunkoPop with a lot of details to recreate. I do admit that I play Epic Games' Fortnite on my PS4 every now and then. Plus with E3, happening soon I wanted to create some artwork based on a poplar video game. Thus, I started looking at various Fortnite skins and
- Petrifaction of FashionThis series of images personifies the petrifaction of fashion. Only a select few of designers will be remembered for their contributions to the fashion industry. Thus, I wanted to portray the idea that fashion can endure time. However, instead of featuring various designers I wanted to share images of unclothed figures that have been forgotten. Which designers will stand the test of time? Also the presence of figures having stone like qualities versus real models is quite intere
- Stranger Things Dustin Funko PopI was inspired to create the FunkoPop of Dustin from Stranger Things using the Vectornator app for iPad. I thought it would be interesting to create a highly detailed image purely using vector graphics. Gaten Matarazzo does such a great job playing Dustin, so I thought it would be fun to create a little fan art based on his FunkoPop!
