EXOSKELETON

This personal project began as an exploration of the line-only polygon style of illustration.  I felt the almost-exact symmetry that an insect has lends itself particularly well to this style.  Also, bugs are pretty rad-looking (… as long as they're not touching me). 2015

SAVE THE DATE

After experimenting with the style in the series above, I created this wedding announcement illustration for my brother and his fiancée.  Both are native Texans, so I used native wildflowers for the garland in their wedding colors (of course). I chose to have my brother depicted in mostly angular, straight lines, while using curves for his fiancée. 2015

DIA DE LOS MUERTOS

This series of sugar skull illustrations were created for a small charity art auction that I participated in on November 1st, 2014. I wanted to create three distinct designs. They have different ornamental assets and overall shapes, but still use the same primary colors color scheme. Pencil and ink. 5"x7"
