Academic Project - Ghost
A part of my final major project was to design merchandise for the Swedish rock band, Ghost. I chose this band because they are incredibly different to the other musician I decided to illustrate for. I really wanted to focus on portraiture in these designs as their pre-existing merchandise does the same and I wanted to make my designs somewhat fit amongst their stock. These are some of my all time favourite pieces, with the solo portrait (left) being recognised by the band itself and being shared on their own social media, which was an incredible honour. These are also some of my best selling prints on my online shop and could not be happier about that.Â

Academic Project - BBNO$
Hoodie design for BBNO$ inspired his Bag or Die music video
Here are two clothing designs I created during my final major project for the rapper, BBNO$. I wanted to go for a more 'graphic-heavy' design for his pieces, using scanned ink calligraphy that I made myself and hand drawing a monochromatic portrait of him that also gets featured on the back cover of my CD cover design for his album.

Hoodie back design
This was a self indulged project that happened when musician James Marriott's album Don't Tell The Dog was about to be released. As a listener of his music, I already knew the generic style that I could dive into with clothing visuals and I wanted to see what I could do.
As this was not part of my academic study, I really only had myself and other peers who could critique it. I shared the work online and had people react really positively with the results, even hoping I can design for him in the near future. I have been able to sell these online and have had a few people purchase shirts - mostly of the design shown on the hoodie.
