Birthday Art Poster

As a birthday present I decided to design a poster sized piece of art that would incorporate multiple pieces of notecard drawings that they had complimented me on in the previous months.

The process began with drudging over which notecards I wanted to include and which notecards I thought I could make work together. This took about 2 weeks if I remember correctly, and the first one to get drawn into the canvas was the "did you hear something" billboard.

The gift box on the left side of the piece is both drawn onto the canvas but was also a small papercraft box that held an accompanying present.

Though there are still little unfinished bits and the stippling could have been better, I overall was very happy with how it came out and is to this day my favorite piece of art of mine to look at.

Birthday Matchboxes

For my partner's birthday I decided to tack on a pair of matchboxes that I would design. using some ideas from notebook doodles I decided on using a candle and a flower in a style I was exploring at the time.

The sides and backs of the matchboxes were covered with pleasing patterns or familiar designs that we both like. the matches and the match striking strip were taken from simple flap style matchbooks, the strip and matches cut from the matchbook.

Something to Look At Unity Game

Idea

Having So many different drawings with a similar style I thought they would be good all together in a game and particularly liked the idea of getting to explore different drawings of mine at a much different scale.

Execution

Using some basic unity scripts and a lot of scans of drawings I had done I put together a small game that allowed the user to travel across a linear plain with the ability to scroll in and out in order to see each drawing in its full view. There is the possibility to fail the game but it's meant to be simple and easy to navigate and embrace looking at the world more than worry about survival.

Ludwig T-Shirt Contest Design

(2019)

Ludwig who's a top streamer on the twitch platform did multiple art contests where the winners would go on to have their art featured on Ludwig's merchandise and compensated per the earnings of the merchandise. This was my submission to the art contest trying to capitalize on Ludwig's common claim at the time of being the fastest button masher in the world.

The design is based off the hand positioning Ludwig uses when pressing the "A" button of a Nintendo GameCube controller. The design tied for 32nd out of 256 contestants. Done in Gimp 2.0

Galaxy Wear Super Smash Bros Watch Face

After learning that the software to create Samsung gear watch faces was free I immediately started learning how to use it as I was often disappointed in the available watch faces. Super Smash Bros the video game being a hobby of mine and knowing there are likely other smash bros fans who would use a smash bros watch face, it was the first design idea I went with. The goal here was to have each second correspond to the laser being reflected by either of the characters. The Hours Minutes and Seconds spots are a reference to the video game. The whole watch face is a reference to the Smash Ball, a focal item in the game.

Provided Graphic Design Drafts for a Lepht Anonym Documentary Style Film

Lepht Anonym is a transhumanist and explorer in the field of cybernetics at a more consumer level price point. After seeing a talk they did in 2011 online I came across their blog where they shared an email address people could contact them from. I shared this fan art I had done and they ended up following up with a request to use the art for a documentary project they were working on and would request future designs. Done in Gimp 2.0
