I was commissioned to create this digital illustration for Delaware-based historian and author Paulie Wenger. The illustration will be used as the cover of his upcoming anthology series, Bg-Iron. Reminiscent of books from his childhood. Drawing on that part of your mind that wonders what could be lurking in the dark places of the night, I created this digital illustration to capture a fantastical expression of otherworldly storytelling inspired by the cryptic stories of New Jersey's Pine Barrens.

I'm proud to use my art to support and strengthen communities. When local surf fashion brand Badfish Jewelry and Sungai Watch, an environmental organization on a mission to clean up Indonesia's local waterways, contacted me, I was happy to accept. I combined themes from Sungai Watch’s brand aesthetic and Badfish Jewelry's surf-centered audience to create this digital illustration, which was used for screen-printed T-shirt designs and supporting imagery for their Creative Current fundraiser.
