DESIGN

DRAWING WAS MY FIRST LOVE. I RAN A SERIES CALLED “DEEPLY SHAMEFUL DESIRES” WHERE I ILLUSTRATED ANONYMOUS CONFESSIONS. I RAN A SMALL PROJECT CALLED “JELLINECK” THAT PRODUCED APPAREL AND DESIGNED A FASHION MAGAZINE CALLED NONLINE. I LIKE MAKING UNIQUE PERSONAL BRANDING OTHER ARTISTS AND PRODUCING GRAPHICS FOR FILM PRODUCTIONS. YOU CAN FIND MORE ILLUSTRATION IMAGES IN THE IMAGE ARCHIVE.
