My Brand

A rebranding project close to the heart. Tried to show off my artstyle and the energy I want to bring to work, lighthearted and colorful. Used IbisPaint, Adobe Dimensions, and Illustrator.

Miscellaneous Art

Artworks I've made for fun

Commissions

Some of the works people have paid me for

The Centralian

A Purdue Fantasy Club Zine

The project was to create a guide for a theoretical magazine, with a cover, a table of contents, an editor's note, a 4 page image heavy article, and a 4 page text heavy article. However, this has turned into a plan for an actual mini zine used to help new people understand the club better. Created with Indesign, Illustrator, Photoshop, and IbisPaint. All assets except the cover were made by other people and were on the website or manual. Some have been colored in using AI

Devious Diva-nations

This Honorable Mention winning work was meant to be a series of tarot cards designed around mythological villains and otherwise, although only three were fleshed out for this project. A carousel advertisement was also made for the cards, as well as an A.R. Experience showing what A.R. could be like for these tarot cards. Used Illustrator and Adobe Aero

AR Experience

BrewBerry

With the power of reusing, you too can have both coffee and a nice plant pot all in one! This doesn't actually exist, but the concept is here. It even has instructions on how to plant their respective plants, like blueberries, and what to do with your new fruit. Illustrator, Photoshop, and IbisPaint were used.

Dragon Journeys

Dragon Journeys is a short typographic children’s book about the cycle of dragons, showing a dragon growing up and doing typical dragon things, until it eventually leaves. The cover shows the dragon’s last life cycle of leaving an egg in another cave to start the cycle all over again. Used Adobe Illustrator

Diverse Dragons

This was a series of 10 postcards with a dragon theme. Each card uses a different artstyle or technique, as well as a different type of dragon to diversify the art further. Techniques vary from photoshop, to illustrator patterns, to artstyles, to AI manipulation. Used Adobe Illustrator

Fire Fox

This work was my submission for a risograph class exhibition with the theme of “Nature.” As the risograph art was limited to two colors, Yellow and Red were used to create a proper gradient as well as the fox orange needed. The artwork shows the carefree spirit of nature in a fun lighthearted way, showing that no matter how much we destroy it, nature will find a way to thrive. Used Illustrator and Photoshop.

2022 Pokemon Holiday Cards

The first of the yearly holiday cards which used a more clipart style and utilized illustrator. The premise was: there is a snow man. How would each character interact with it? And so each one represents the personalities using this set up.

2023 Pokemon Holiday Cards

Once again these cards are using my group’s characters and putting them in a winter themed card, this one being the group exploring an ice cave, with some chaos. These cards were deisgned with a continous design in mind for a full story, but each card can be separated and used as a holiday card and still represent the characters faithfullly. Used IbisPaint

2024 Pokemon Holiday Cards

These cards are the most recent of a series of yearly holiday cards based off of characters a group of friends have in a running story based on Pokémon Mystery Dungeon. These cards cover the same place over a period of time, watching as each character jumps in based on their personality. Used IbisPaint
