New logo for the symphonic darkwave project, Somnia Rosa. The concept for the design is a "demonic/seraphic sun of the apocalypse."

I have long held a fascination with moths. So, I was pleased to have the opportunity to feature an image based on the luna moth in one of my recent assignments. Shown here is a slightly modified version of the original design.

School has been keeping me quite busy, but I am learning very much! To compensate for the lack of new posts, I'd like to share some of my favorite illustrations which are a little bit older.

Works From This Past Winter and Autumn

2011-01-22T00:54:00.000-08:00

My most recent work is the logo I made for the death metal music project Pus Filled Ejaculation.

This style of extreme metal logo often involves a great deal of freehand drawing. I feel that this lends a very organic quality which can be difficult to create digitally.

One of my favorite design projects from the Fall school semester was this one: a composition using unique directional arrows all pointing to the same point in the negative space, based on the theme of the crucifixion:

Also worth noting is the art piece I did for Burzum.org's contest that recently ended.

It depicts the death of Belus (Baldr), and was created using watercolor, color pencil, and some digital effects.
