Custom type and layout for this poster in collaboration with Madeline Pasek who did the bread clip illustration in the background.

These ingredients make up one of the staple didn’t-do-groceries dinners we turn to in times of need.

We wanted to make a poster to honor these reliable goods.The print really is ultra bright in person. Here’s a scan of the desk copy.

The Mauve is a musical group based in Honolulu, HI.

Analiese commissioned me to do design, direction, and illustration for their 2022-2023 campaign of music releases and show posters.

The result is a mix of hand-drawn elements, grainy image treatments, and color overlays that feel reminiscent of an 80's rock scene in Honolulu with a modern touch.

The challenge of this poster was to represent my research interests, including a signature of my name in some form. This poster meshes visual languages of surveillance and the obscured darkness of cartoon narratives.

References included heads-up displays, drone scopes, tactical diagrams and thermal mapping.

These elements were juxtaposed with Sanrio characters focusing on the relationship between a character named My Melody and her nemesis Kuromi.

The text was chose from a web fandom that highlights the story of their dynamic and history from Kuromi’s point of view in a way that portrays the sweet and wholesome character of My Melody as the true villain.

“Kuromi swears to get revenge on My Melody by teaming up with Keiichi Hiiragi, a professional young violin player, and collecting 100 black notes to summon the dark power.“

This poster was made to document questions I asked myself while starting grad school, along with excerpts from texts I was thinking about at the time.

How could I present these excerpts and references in a dream like state?
