HOW TO WIN A FIGHT PACKAGE

animosity appears to be in the air these days.

which is why, now more than ever, it’s important to find the best ways to fight, to defend what is right!

for this project Wired tasked me with creating an interactive illustration—as the viewer scrolls more pieces are revealed that speak to various topics within the package. while some of those mini illustrations would be used on the pertaining article pages.

Given the theme, it only felt right to be inspired by Pro-Wrestling & fighter video games to bring the spirit of this package to life.

MIT TECHNOLOGY REVIEW

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

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.
