WRAP Magazine - Open Country
I was invited by Polly, Chris and Harry of WRAP Magazine to contribute an illustration to their latest issue (#4), themed North America. Without explaining too much, my illustration titled ‘Open Country’, is more of a critique on our relationship with the land; our need to control, own and dominate it, and the constant struggle to protect it.
The magazine itself is a really cool idea. Not only does it feature a lot of cool art, interviews and features, but it also has a second purpose as wrapping paper. The two-page illustrative spreads can be removed from the magazine to make a unique one-of-a-kind gift. AND to top it off the magazine includes note cards to make it that much easier for you. Personally, I’m planning on framing some of the art because it’s SO amazing!

FormFiftyFive Masthead Illustration
I did this illustration for my friends at the amazing design site FormFiftyFive. The illustration was designed for the site’s masthead. It is my first attempt at making an animated gif. The animation is very simple, but I think a nice subtle touch.
The idea was to create a masthead based on inspiration. I decided that I’d play with the theme — inspiration being such a mysterious and random thing. I created this character emerging from the dark depths of who-knows-where holding abstract letter forms of three F’s (the site’s acronym). I wanted to work with the design of the site, which is generally quite dark. The dominoes act like neurons, which when knocked over will be set in motion, forming an idea as each thought connects to the next.

I was fortunate to have the opportunity to work with art director SooJin Buzelli of Asset International again. This time for the magazine PLANSPONSOR.

Poketo/Booooooom Wallet Design
I did these two illustrations for the Poketo/Booooooom wallet design contest. The idea was to create a design based on the theme Before Life.
These are my two submissions:
The first illustration is inspired by indigenous people’s tales of snakes, of which they believe were the originators of all life.
The second is loosely based on the Wheel of life, or at least inspired by it’s idea of cyclic existence, otherwise known as Saṃsāra.
