Smoke

There
ariseth a
little cloud
out of the
sea, like a
man's hand

I recently did another round of Videogame Travel Posters! To see them all, go to the article here (found at Dorkly)

Experiment with shapes: Will Parry

Trying something new. This is just a preview for what is to come. I'm kind of digging where this is going. Of course I did this little experiment with my favorite literary character, Will Parry.

Journey: Existential Crisis

About two weeks ago I played the game "Journey" by Thatgamecompany. It was amazing. Up there in my top 5 favorite games along with Shadow of the Colossus.

Here's my comic for Journey that I did for Dorkly. Details follow.

For those of you that might want individual panels for desktop backgrounds or if you'd like a print of one (or all) of the panels, please e-mail me at:

Also, be sure to view the comic over at Dorkly.com! Support the site!

The Language of Ghosts

I'm not sure if there is already a book named the Language of Ghosts but it's something I made up to reflect things that are happening in my life currently.
I imagined this as a book jacket cover obviously.

Sufjan Stevens: Age of Adz

I did a mock up for my favorite album, Sufjan Stevens' "Age of Adz".

This was also a fun piece to make since I made the font by hand.

Long Island

I decided to try a new style. This is inspired by Long Island and that fact that I miss the summer.

Prints available as always.

Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword

If you personally know me, you know I'm a bit obsessive about the Legend of Zelda series. Skyward Sword didn't really help that obsession. I love that as the games go one, Zelda gets more and more of a personality. (Also that Link and Zelda are close friends)

In this piece, I tried to play with bright colors more (though I may go back in and use my earthy tone pallet just to try it out).

Prints are available as always.

Hunger Games: Posters

I made some campaign posters for the Hunger Game sides.

Prints are available as always.

Amber Spyglass: The great death

My favorite book of all time, by far, without contest, is Philip Pullman's "The Amber Spyglass". I love everything about it. I love this book so much that I was convinced that I'd never illustrate it because there's just too many things I'd want to do. (If you haven't read the book and don't want things spoiled, skip the next paragraph.)

However, a scene from from the book is probably a good place to start. If you've read the book you'd probably recognize the scene as the death of Metatron. I chose this scene for a number of reasons. Firstly, it is one of the most identifiable scenes. Secondly, the scene was incredibly powerful. Thirdly, the complexity of Mrs. Coulter's character astounds me and this scene confuses me the most with her character, which is what I believe she is meant to do, confuse you.

I've included details of this piece for once.
