This page is meant to showcase some of my graphic and technical experiments.

J.M. Enterprises

2021
I wanted to try my hand at luxury brand advertising. Here, for a fictional company that leaves its product offering ambiguous. It's a journey to the improbable, a surreal spectacle designed to challenge perceptions and abandon the mundane.

The logotype for J.M. Enterprises was hand-written by me. The 3D graphics were created and rendered inside of Blender.

Critical Speed Racing

2023
This graphic was inspired by old boat racing flags, but it also can serve as the seed for a wider brand identity project.

Photography Zine

2023
These are a few excerpts of a zine I created in which I showcased some photographs I've taken over the years.

Strange Imagination

2023
I attempted to meld the spontaneity of child-like crayon scribbles with the elegance of Japanese kanji characters. This design is a captivating fusion of contrasting elements, an exploration of the intersection between innocence and complexity. It beckons viewers to delve into the realms of creativity unburdened by conventions, where vibrant colors and chaotic lines coexist with the deliberate strokes of ancient symbols.

Warp & Weft

2023
These musings on fabric, creativity, and the essence of design are seamlessly integrated into the very warp and weft of the textile. It's a visual tapestry that attempts to blur the conventional boundaries of art, design, and technology.

The 3D graphics were created and rendered inside of Blender.

The Nostalgia of Progress

2023
A poster/flyer for a fictional event taking place in Japan. Designed to be noticeable and to intrigue passersby.

Vector Displacement Study

2021
This was strictly a technical test with vector displacement and rendering techniques in Blender.

XL

2023
This piece is all about embracing the colossal. This image attempts to magnify the ordinary, amplifying everyday objects and ideas to larger-than-life proportions.

Geist 2001

2022
This was an experiment in minimalism, texturing, and embossing.

The logotype for TIRAMISU was hand-written by me. The 3D graphics were created and rendered inside of Blender.

Zebes

2021
This was an experiment with altering text to create custom logotypes. The poster image is a simple example of execution featuring the logotype.

I also made a short bumper video to showcase the calligraphy alternative of the Zebes logotype.

The 3D graphics were created and rendered inside of Blender.
