Having
This one is about giving yourself completely to someone who gives themselves right back to you.
Finding yourself
“You have to get lost before you find yourself.” This illustration shows one man’s long and complex journey of self-discovery.
The large structure is where the man spends most of his journey seemingly getting lost in the process. The irregularity of the structure illustrates the complexity of his journey.
The part where he “finds himself” is represented by an empty plain just outside the large structure, and it signifies that the man finally clears his mind and comes to a realization of his purpose, focus, potential or whatever he needs to be, do or have.
There is a tiny bridge between the large structure and the plain, and it symbolizes crossing over or change.
The enormous size difference between the large structure and the plain embodies the idea that the journey is greater than the destination.
Dream releasers
Some dreams are not yours to keep. Let the world see them, hear them, keep them.
Mirror, self and society
Commissioned by Jordan Cohen for Multilarity, this illustration focuses on identity and superficiality. It also offers a slight reflection of a future in which technology has enabled humans to control their own evolution.
Check out the article “Why So Selfiesh?” on Multilarity, an exploration of how selfies perpetrate the myth that appearance equals self and what it means in our present and future.
Angels clashing
Another day, another style. This one is closer to what I did in college. The idea is to treat each line the way I would treat a logo: with great care.
I used to draw geometrical characters a lot, but they were usually just humans or animals with bright colors. I like the idea of dark-skinned magical creatures. Like many gamers who grew up in the ‘90s and early 2000s, my fascination with such creatures began with the drow or dark elves during the height of Dungeons & Dragons’ popularity.
And, lastly, a little something for the lulz.
Beginnings
I want to get better. I’m going to get better.
The Moon and the Earth
This is us among the stars.

Friendship is like a cake you can never get enough of.
