Self Portrait
this illustration was made for a college class and was meant to represent a scene. as titled, this is a self portrait and is my bedroom. i tired to use as limited of a color palette as possible, and really experimented with two separate light sources to make an interesting image.

Woman with a fan Revised
original artwork was "woman with fan" by jean metzinger, and this was made for my portfolio review for college. it was originally an assignment to practice color painting utilizing a preexisting painting. therefore this was my first attempt of actual acrylic painting, and has also been my last for a lack of free time to pursue the medium. While not necessarily an illustration i felt it still demonstrates strong usage of traditional mediums despite prior experience.

Gyo Panel
Original artwork by junji ito and featured in his book gyo. I found his work incredibly striking and wanted to use it to practice the traditional medium of dip pens. utilizing the book as reference i freehanded everything in pencil then inked with a g pen and microns for technical lines. I found the entire experience to be gratifyingly difficult, however the medium made me really slow down and enjoy the process.

Florida...
pictured is my addition to the stick n' slap gallery that was held at orlando florida. the prompt was simply florida, so i illustrated basic florida motifs such as orange juice, Publix, alligators, and theme parks. utilizing painterly detail with a solid bold outline i think gave the final product an interesting texture while keeping the overall piece clean. the gallery lasted one week and gave me a good experience of getting to talk to other likeminded creatives in a gallery setting.

SWGE Poster Contest
this poster was designed for a poster competition for star wars galaxies edge at walt disney worlds hollywood studios backstage area. this was made to resemble a tourism poster from the 1920s for corellia, a fictional planet in star wars. most posters of this time had a man and a woman riding in a car, so i painted a scene from solo: a star wars story, of han solo and Qi'ra riding in their speeder. I was one of the three winners and the artwork is currently hung up in their backstage area.
