These illustrations were created for WisCon’s convention app! I worked with Ayizan Studios to take the existing WisCon mascots and designed a whole world for them and their friends to mirror some of the main elements of the convention itself. We were focused on retro sci-fi feel, but with appealing, contemporary colours.

I got some new gouache paints this past year, a Himi/Miya jelly gouache set suitable for painting a big pile of studies with, and it’s been a great excuse to paint more. Here’s some photo documentation of my recent work:

Blood of the Paladin is a graphic novel memoir written by Jonathan Hill about his life living with hemophilia, and the way that Dungeons and Dragons helped him find the strength to fight. I contributed my art to the D&D sequences, which interspersed the memoir sequences drawn by Allison Conway. You can learn more and request a copy for yourself or a loved one at the website here.
Below are a few samples of my pages, not including official lettering, where my panels and Allison’s often intermingle as the story explores how D&D inspired Jonathan throughout his life.We also collaborated on the cover, where I drew the titular Paladin, and Allison brought the real-world setting of San Francisco to life.
