Illustration & Character Design
These works range from character design to illustration used in publications or textiles. Media ranges from digital painting & vector to real-world media like ink, charcoal & conté.
Pixel Art and Character Design
These works are drawn pixel by pixel like those of retro video games. This is a combination of illustration as well as sprite character designs for games.
Photoshop
While I have been editing photos for a while these works are modified in a way to convey a concept or act as a digital illustration for a graphic design project. Some images include the original in the top left to show the source image. You can click the image for a closer view.
Digital Photography
My photography explores the intersection of various subjects, including toys, people, abstract themes, and metaphysical concepts. These photographs may capture the whimsy and nostalgia of childhood toys, the beauty and complexity of the human form, the surreal and otherworldly nature of abstract subjects, and the intangible and mystical aspects of the metaphysical. Each image invites the viewer to consider the connections and meanings behind the subjects.
Printmaking and Textiles
My printmaking creations, which include screenprinting, lithography, woodblock, and intaglio, explore a variety of subjects including characters, abstraction, storytelling, and textiles. I have experimented with pushing the boundaries of these techniques to create unique and interesting prints. Overall, my printmaking series is a diverse body of work that showcases my versatility and creativity in this medium.
Custom Toys & Characters
A collection of art toys that covers a range of social, political, and spiritual issues is a thought-provoking and meaningful body of work. These art toys may address a wide variety of subjects such as social justice, political corruption, and spiritual beliefs. Through the use of these toys as a medium, I can bring attention to important and often controversial issues in a way that is both subtle and powerful. The collection as a whole invites the viewer to consider the deeper meanings and messages behind the art toys and to reflect on the issues they represent. Below is a collection of toys that range from sculpted parts to simple repaints. In addition to the objects I have made I have included digital concepts of other characters I propose to make on various toy platforms.
Sculpture
My sculptural works include both vessels and jewelry, and I have used both primitive pottery techniques and more modern methods in my creations. My pieces made with traditional pottery techniques demonstrate my skill and attention to detail, and the use of these techniques adds an element of history and authenticity to the work. My glass jewelry, on the other hand, is made using more modern methods and abstractions of ideas related to the emotional experience of parenting. Overall, my sculptural works showcase my versatility and creativity in this tactile medium.
