CHANGING OUR MINDS

this article covered the development of brainwashing during the Cold War era.

given the context, i wanted to create something that felt insidious & psychedelic, jumbled with key components of the story: fears of Communism, military, & mind-altering devices.

SKETCHES

here’s a view of some preliminary sketches i started off with to get a sense of how things began.

NPR: LIFE KIT

BAD NIGHT’S SLEEP

we’ve all been there—didn’t get the sleep you should have & now you’re not functioning in the day.

that’s where Life Kit comes in with the assist. for the artwork, i depict that all too familiar amorphous feeling of waking sleep deprivation.

SKETCHES

some initial ideas to express this very relatable concept.

ATLAS OBSCURA

in defense of eating brains

in recent history, eating brains had fallen out of fashion——but all across the world, many cultures have long thought of these juicy morsels as quite the delicacy.

Atlas Obscura tasked me in creating poster-like illustrations that honored these dishes & perhaps even entice the viewer to try them out!

THE BAFFLER

NEVERNEVERLAND

this wild, horror-fiction short story surrounds a group of elderly ladies & one newfoundland dog that wreak havoc one night at the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk.

here, i am evoking Japanese horror film, House (1977) rehashed to fit this story. this cult classic reference point immediately speaks to the elements of horror, comedy, & surreality that Neverneverland envelopes the reader into.
