Fantastic news! A book I handled the design and production for has been nominated for an Eisner in the Best Anthology category. Everyone did a fantastic job. I’m grateful I was able to contribute. #stardust #eisner

Today marks the first page of a new chapter for myself & Pesto Comics. I want to thank everyone who helped us get to where we are today. Having this book on the shelves is a dream come true. Today I'm taking it all in and enjoying the moment. Tomorrow, we get back to work so we can create more.

This was technically the first thing I worked on for IDW, and I had a blast with @escar4.bsky.social honoring the incredible work of everyone involved with the Star Trek & Defiant comics. Can't wait to see it in print this summer!

When I was in Italy over the summer, I had to pick up a handful of books for reference. The printing and materials are great. There was a Spider-Man hardcover I still regret not buying. I didn’t want to push my suitcase over the weight limit. I did try to find it later in my trip, but no luck.

In 2014, I helped design U.S. Luge uniforms with Valiant Comics, creating the helmets and contributing to the suits. Erin Hamlin became the first American to medal in Olympic luge singles. Proud my work appears in images and footage from that historic Olympic run. #teamusa #olympics

Some 3D mockups I created. I didn’t have physical copies, so these renders helped showcase the projects.

So much fun working on this book and having @cerealpancake.bsky.social as an editor was great. 👏🏾👏🏾

Just wrapped up work on Joey Esposito’s supernatural horror graphic novel MADAM, featuring art by Pandamusk. Big thanks to Joey for trusting me with this project and to Michele for the recommendation. Truly appreciate the opportunity! #horror #graphicnovel #comicbook #production #3dmockups

My AR software is being discontinued, so I’m working on exporting as much content of my projects as possible. Once I have a moment, I’ll transition to a new platform. Ninjak cover art by Mico Suayan. #augmentedreality #AR #ninjak #comics #comicbooks

3D mockups and a jacket design I created for the Murder Drones Kickstarter! This campaign crushed it, soaring past the $1.7 million mark. Proud to have contributed to the project. This is the 2nd Kickstarter I’ve been part of that’s surpassed $680,000! #murderdrones #comics #production #onipress

This was one of the glass covers I designed. I used a spot UV ink to really glow under black light. It gives the appearance the cover has energy flowing through it. Back end of the post shows my progression testing glow in the dark paint on a transparency. #production #comics #comicbooks #glitch

This was another augmented reality piece triggered by an image anchor. The cover was deconstructed, animated in After Effects & imported into an AR platform. Cover art was by @davidnakayama #augmentedreality #comicbooks #comics Effects were pulled from productioncrate & optimized in After Effects.

transformed the VeeFriends Issue #4 credits page into an #augmentedreality experience. I converted the layout into an image anchor, deconstructed the layout in PSD, prepped the effects in After Effects & brought it all to life in Adobe Aero. #AdobeAero #VeeFriends #willfulwizard #ar #productioncrate

Purchased the Make Big Films Worlds 3 pack and testing some of the assets in augmented reality. Need to tweak some assets so that they properly anchor. all in all, the images look great! Going to build out a whole scene at scale. #bigfilms #ar #augmentedreality #postapocalyptic

Just got a care package from Brian DeCubellis. I'm currently handling the production and design work on Dark Honor and I also created the logo. Make sure to grab Issue #1 when it drops on May 28th! #DarkHonor #ComicBooks #Production #ncbd #Issue1 #ComingSoon

I set up a “The Future Is ****” digital AR takeover at Third Eye Comics in Annapolis, MA to celebrate an in-store signing. Issue #1 hits local comic shops next week — May 28! The AR experience was built in Aero using its geospatial feature. #AR #AugmentedReality #ComicBooks #GeospatialAR

Just building upon an AR scene I created. Next step is have the boxes pop out of the portal. The Rick and Morty 10th Anniversary Deluxe Omnibus Library is now on Kickstarter. #comicbooks #rickandmorty #augmentedreality #AR #immersive
