20,000 Leagues Under The Sea A complete redesign of Jules Verne's Classic. Designed for the adult who wishes to revisit their favorite childhood book in a fresh new context. The 480 pages include 49 illustrations, 2 letters, end notes, and side notes that clarify some of the cultural aspects from the original french version and take full advantage of the print medium. The 8x8 format is reminiscent of illustrated children's books. The illustrations focus on the darker tones of the story while the water color washes set the tone for the underwater adventure. The typography and titles were inspired by the artistic printing movement of the 1800's visually supporting both the story's setting and the flow of water. Three signed limited editions cased in by hand with Italian book cloth.

Desktop Wallpaper Project I was asked to create a wallpaper for the Fox is Black's desktop wallpaper project. This was part of the Sights and Sounds series featuring Modest Mouse. Each designer was tasked with creating a wallpaper for a specific album. This background was for their album "The Moon and Antarctica". I interpreted lyrics from their single "The Stars Are Projectors" and I wanted to try to capture the erie nostalgic feeling of the album as a whole. All of the wallpapers are available for download here.
