drawings and
other creations
I've always had a fascination with the contrasts of nature and technology, and with an always active imagination, it's led me to love both traditional and digital arts to express myself. I like to have fun with my drawings and keep them open-ended, inviting you to add your own story (which I always love to hear about).
I'm currently working at the Iconfactory making icons and user interfaces and I'm also a co-founder Impending, working to bring the future a bit closer to the present.
If you want to know what's new or keep up with what I'm working on, you can also find me here:
If you are looking to have icons made, you can send your details to The Iconfactory and we should be able to help you out.
I was requested by Daily Sushi to submit a drawing to their amazing collection of sushi inspired illustrations, so of course I couldn’t resist! With some inspiration from photos and experiences I had when visiting Japan a few years ago, I ended up focusing on the sushi chef (Itamae in Japanese) and some of the tools and ingredients used for sushi. Here’s the final drawing for Itamae, and you can also grab a printed version off Society6 (they have free shipping right now).
I have a few new drawings posted up, they were created for the Land Gallery show at the end of last year, but I finally have them ready for my site so everyone can enjoy them! You’ll find Sea Urchin, Totem, and Scout on the main gallery page, enjoy them as always!
I was invited to draw a robot as part of the Robot Envy series, my entry is named “Phobos”. There are so many amazing robot artworks featured on their site, I’m glad I could be a part of it.
A little helpful reminder to always stay hungry and foolish, inspired by the quote from Steve Jobs.
I’ve been wanting a nice subtle desktop for a while and I’ve ended up with one I quite liked a lot. Nothing says quiet and subtle tranquility like the deep depths of the ocean, and there’s lots of friends to be found there as well. Check out the definition of “tinnitus” if you want a hint at the little gem (and the depth of my cheesy titling) hiding among the residents of the high pressure race to the bottom.
Between brainstorming and projects and my daily doodling time, my sketchbook and computer are full of sketches that very few people would ever see. If you’re interested in getting a peek at them, I’ve started a sketches tumblr that will be updated daily-ish with new sketches and old buried gems that I dig out of folders and sketchbooks of old. Drop on by if you’re a fan of line work!
There’s nothing quite like a quiet breakfast with your friends around a campfire. Inspired by a true life story.
As you may also notice, I’ve updated the site to be a lot more simple and clean. It’s also retina friendly and there’s a new layout for visiting on your mobile device too (mostly optimized for iPhone). I’ve also added a new product in the shop that will let you download all wallpapers at once in a zip file that I’ll keep updated with each new release. So that’s about 60 drawings in formats for Desktops, iPads and iPhone layouts for $8 :D
Some deep thoughts to bring warmth down in the cold blue.
