I designed these business cards for the handsome and talented Shwa Keirstead, check out his art things!

The Hand Book

 One of the things I'm doing at art school is bookbinding. I love books. I love them. I like to read 'em, make them, illustrate them, and collect beautiful old books, especially late 1800's natural Science books.

 For my final project last fall semester I made these four books. My instructor didn't appreciate my creative approach to making a book for my first project so I just tried to focus on making really nice books for this one. I made illustrations and took photographs of the hands of artists and creative people I knew, along with their age, name, and what they did. I got an okay grade and most of the books turned out nicely, 2 are good enough to sell if anyone is interested.
 My favourite part was using the hot foil stamp letterpress, an archaic contraption that is exactly what is sounds like and was used for the cover lettering. The only thing I didn't do myself was the digital printing.

Glorywhore EP

 

  My friends Glorywhore are releasing their EP Love Letter Bomb next month on June 25th! I did the cover artwork featuring the lovely Maiwan Suicide. Please do check out their music and if you dig it you can buy the EP now as well as all kinds of merch with my drawin's on it soon. I'll keep ya updated. I want a t-shirt.

POSTAHS

 Last fall semester for my final Illustration project I made this series of 4 posters of some exceptionally awesome friends because most of the people I know are so amazing and talented they deserve their own posters, and if I could I would make one for everybody. My main focus here was just a few people with great style/significant visible body modifications/exceptional skillz and designing a poster that represents them as best I can. They are all ink on rag paper... as usualll.
And I got a pretty good grade!
