Project Information
Reimagined ahead of its 25th anniversary, this experimental variant of The Shape Of Punk To Come incorporates whirling serpents, blossoming floral arrangements and a palette carefully imagined after Umeå (Sweden's) spring. I aimed to convey the sensation of a calm lull before engraining the viewer in a slithering coil of visuals carefully paired alongside a delicate serif.

TPIMPR examines the grotesque demeanor of staying silent, and using art as a manifesto for anti-sterilization against arcane perspectives and taboos passed down through institutional trauma.

Project Information
Aside from art directing album campaigns, I frequently get asked to create original tour posters and one-off fliers. I especially have loved working on getting to reimagine motifs of classic albums for anniversary shows, which allows me to expand on established visual cues that audiences can live in and enjoy. It's an exciting challenge but has been very rewarding to experiment with.

For the final round of interviewing to be GQ's in-house Designer, the company's Global Creative Director tasked me with creating editorial artwork for a developing story: Kendrick and Drake's rap battle was getting pointed, Drake was getting exposed; so he used generated artificial voices of Tupac and Snoop Dogg.

Project Information
Selected work from DAY POP, a one-day photo series captured around Prospect Heights after moving there during the summer of 2020 (yes, great timing). I planned out my shots and focused on a mix of historic and residential architecture, and then carefully color graded the artwork. More-so, it was gratifying to document my neighborhood and it's been a moving experience to see how these structures have changed over time.
