    Really exciting post for me, probably not so interesting for you guys, but here are two cover photos I created for Optoma USA, the leading projector experts in all of North America. I worked under the lead designer and with the marketing team to develop these cover photos.

    demichild asked: Dumbest Purchase You Ever Made?


    Answer:

    Hm…I try to minimize the stuff I buy, but I’d definitely have to say a box of crayons purchased for one tutorial in class…we used them once and then never again, so I had Crayola crayons sitting in my art locker at my uni for a year or two. If I had been more resourceful I would have melted them for a cool wax dripping picture but alas, they were chucked out.

    More Game of Thrones! I had an assignment to do a newsletter on a topic of our choice, and I had to do this on Game of Thrones…I’m on a GOT kick lately, the story is so amazing and there’s such a rich plethora of characters! 

    This newsletter recaps each of the major houses in the realm of Westeros to help fans remember what’s happening in each house. Hope this is helpful! 

    Created in Indesign. Vectored art and images edited in Photoshop and Illustrator. This was quite a project!

    Somehow I skipped uploading this one. Did some Daenaerys and Drogo drawings and came up with these portrait studies. Their relationship was really complex, and full of language barriers, and I was heartbroken in that particular scene at the end of Season 2. I love Game of Thrones and read all the books so far and am eagerly anticipating the 3rd season premiering tomorrow night!

    Sorry to terrify your dreams and all, but here’s Slenderman.
Recently I had the joy of playing Slender and got obsessed with the Slenderman urban legend and myth, and watched countless videos on Youtube of people playing through the game for their hilarious reactions. 
I love fear, it intrigues me and forces us to make split second decisions and reveal what we truly believe is important. Perhaps I was slightly scarred from a particular haunted cornfield maze in my youth. 
Sharpie, Photoshop, and nightmares.
