While anxiously waiting for one of 2023's biggest video games to launch. My excitement lead me to be inspired and create this poster. Using a mixture of Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator, I created this poster to highlight both Peter Parker's and Miles Morales's unique web-swinging styles . While purley for artistic purposes, I also wanted to create a marketing-like poster to test myself and see how well I could capture the epic assemble Marvel's Spider-Man 2 offered to customers. Thus adding the associate marketing phrases used for the past two games (Be Greater/Be Yourself) , and the small yet sinnister "Together" banner to emphasis the coming of a fan favorite villain to the game - Venom.
I grew up ingesting a vast amount of Batman media as child. From the pages of Detective Comics, to beautifully crafted cinematic spectacle "The Batman" directed by Matt Reeves. Batman has always been my favorite character from the DC Universe. In recent comics, comic book artist Dan Mora has been creating absolutely stunning imagery of the Dark Knight in the series Batman/Superman: Worlds Finest. His take on the classic 1980's blue and grey costume make Batman fell more dynamic and intimidating than ever before, even with a brighter color scheme. That is what inspired the artwork below. I have been wanting to make more art work utilizing Japanese kanji and when this idea came to mid, I knew iI had make. I made 3 version which showcases 2 of Batman iconic color schemes, and created a 3rd image to incorporate a black light/neon feel to the character. This piece challenged me to better understand simple line shading and the flow on comic anatomy, while also pushing the boundaries of contrast on coloring.
Spider-Man is one of the most well known superheroes around the world, along with his famous catchphrase "With great power, must also come great responsibility". Almost as equally well known the symbiotic black suit, which first appeared in Secret Wars #8 in 1984. This suit allowed Peter Parker to be faster and stronger, but also made him more aggressive and ruthless in his crime fighting. Both the classic red and blue suit and the black suit are staples within Spider-Man's lore, and I aimed to make the suits represent Spider-Man catchphrase in a more literal way. The black suit representing the amazing power it bestows upon him, while the classic suit emphasizes the responsibly he holds to use his powers for good.

This piece portrays the main protagonist from the hit anime Fairy Tail, Natsu Dragneel. This character, as well as the show in its entirety, was one of my favorite things the dive into gowning up. A action-fantasy styled anime with a hot headed protagonist not only peaked my interest with it's high octane magical action and amazing visuals, but also resonated with me with its strong themes of family amongst friends, and fighting for what's right. I created this piece as a homage to both Natsu's fire based magic, known as "Fire Dragon Slayer Magic", and the fire that fuels his spirit to fight for his adoptive family.

Peak Gaming was meant to be an idea for a gaming content creator and potentially a large scale gaming community. But as of right now, it is just and idea that has taken form.
My thesis project for my senior year at the University of Arizona, "Paradigm" is an original concept for a new modern skater/designer brand of clothing. While I was inspired certain elements from other brands like Vans, Hurley, Volcom, and many others, I also wanted my brand to have a more modern fashion aesthetic in order to reach a wider audience. The main focus for the each design is high contrasted and architecture and cityscapes that exemplify uniqueness and diversity. Whether a design focuses on one building or an entire city, each are designed to highlight (or contrast) the complexity and diverse environment they are in. Paradigm is a brand for those who seek to branch of from the norm, while being able to stand out and capture eyes.
These are the mock up that further exemplify "Paradigm" as a new age skater brand. From t-shirts, hoodies, and even the deck of skateboards, "Paradigm" is a versatile design line that is able to applied to almost anything.
