  • College of Charleston [new]
    The College of Charleston in South Carolina asked to me to create an illustration for their basketball team using several of their players. We chose to compose them in a time-lapse style showing the stages of a slam dunk.

    The work was used on a billboard, window display and other promotional materials. An animation of the illustration was also made by a couple of staff from the College, scroll down to the bottom to watch!

  • Alpha
    I was in a team of 4 artists from Depthcore, the others were Niklas Lundberg, Jeff Huang and Heiko Klug. My position was as typographer so I created this type as my contribution to a special collaboration for the OFFF book 2011. We also included it in the latest Chapter 'Mirror'.

    Our concept was along the lines of genesis and creation so I drew the type with a number of seeds with 'vines' shooting out, growing and forming the letter. Scroll down to view the final image we created.
