Whew, it’s been a while! New job means a novel life. Time to backdate some art I’ve done over the past few months.
Cover image for my friend and aspiring filmmaker Tally Knoll. The concept: a postapocalyptic world, where a strange spaceship crashed into a radiated area.
Painted in Photoshop.
Commission of the late, great Mr. Bruce Lee. He sure was a stunning-looking fella.

The characters might look familiar to the X-Men fans out there – it’s Network and Forge! I only know Forge from my comicbook collecting days; I suppose Network is a new character.

Azkatraz: It’s a Harry Potter fan and academic symposium, held in San Francisco in July 2009! I got to design some of the Programme Book and logos needed for the conference.
All designs and images property of HP Education Fanon Inc.
PROGRAMME PAGES
1. Warden’s Desk, without copy text. The concept was to have a jumble of magical items, paper (for the text) and other knick knacks on the two-page graphic spread. Done in Photoshop.
2. Hotel map. I got full rein to create a ‘prison map’ for the programme book so the attendees could find their way between the floors. Again, the conceptual theme was whimsical with a bit of black humour. This was another two-page spread in the book.
TICKETS
1. Ticket for the WROCK (or ‘wizard rock’) concerts. The concept was supposed to reflect concert posters, leaning on the retro side.
2. Ticket for the Dessert with Chris Rankin (actor from the HP movies). I think the concept was for a Willy Wonka style ‘Golden Ticket’, since this dessert was a much sought-after treat for the fans.
LOGOS
Fog Bowl Tournament! What would a Harry Potter conference be without Quidditch? Designs were needed for the tournament itself as well as the team logos. All designs were printed on t-shirts for the Quidditch players and referees to wear.
DESIGNS
1. Design made into door hangers. Concept meant to imitate 1939 British motivational posters. Done in Illustrator.
2. Design for an Arrest Warrant. Cute idea to tie into the theme of the conference. The idea was for the warrant to look very stern and official. Done in InDesign.
All in all, a very fun experience. I got a Fog Bowl Tournament t-shirt as a bonus. It’s so silly, it’s awesome.
