This book was intended to be shown as a potentially publishable children's book. It revolves around the story of Linus, a grumpy hedgehog who has no friends and feels as though he is too important and different for the everyday pleasures of life.

30 hand-printed and hand-embroidered flags, and portraits of people holding them. The flags read "I couldn't wait to get out," "I've never missed anywhere so much," and "There's no place like home." These flags were intended to explore common assosciations and feeling towards the idea of "home."
Book cover design and illustration

description
I have been doing more painting for book covers rather than just finding stock images or doing a flat drawing in Illustrator. For both of these book covers, I designed the graphics in Illustrator to get client approval, then created a mixed media painting based on the Illustrator layout and using digital printouts. In the end, all was scanned in again and digitally manipulated.

A collection of works created with traditional processes/material.
For what it's worth:
All we buy are the bottles but they end up in the landfill so why must we spend so much on water that claims to give you nutrition.
Escapee: Outer shell has to break eventually. It leaks out like waste and oozes to form a monster. Resist the temptations of recoil and push through the past, present, and future. Only you can save yourself from your own monster.
