Dumpy is one of my favorite mascots I have created. What started as a simple idea quickly became my most popular and highest-selling work. Dumpy began as a digital piece and came to life through stickers all over downtown NYC and a match-cut video presentation.
I have always been obsessed with restricted yet powerful color use, bold typography, and creating work in series. My Color Alphabet project highlights my favorite color for each letter of the alphabet, providing the hex code, official name, and history.
My design career began with creating album covers for my friends, and designing album art remains a personal passion of mine. Above is a selection of covers I designed for some of my favorite musicians.
Inspired by my logo, I created a graphic alphabet using the ED Nimpkish (white) and FallingScript (red) typefaces. The illusion of depth is one of my favorite design elements to explore and heavily influenced this direction.
Froggo is a digital illustration based on original art by @ripleystreasures. After discovering her art had been copied and sold without her consent, I reached out and formed a working friendship. We simplified and updated her artwork, streamlined her drawing, refreshed the color palette, and adapted it for digital distribution.
I have designed the front cover of the Journal of Russian American Studies for the past four years. Each cover relates to the articles within the issue and features either existing works by Russian or American artists or original AI-generated pieces.
One of my favorite pastimes involves combing archives of public domain artwork for assets to highlight and adapt to the modern age. This skull crown is from a 1905 print by Carl Hassmann titled “The Russian Crown.” I isolated it from the original print, enhanced the colors, and created a second, bloody version.
