a divergent stream of my creative work... hopefully chronicling some sort of meaningful change / progression.

Introducing... HANGYAKU.

I finally launched my first product via kickstarter– a deck of premium playing cards, combining Midjourney's take on Japanese Ukiyo-e style art with modern design, to tell the story of hangyaku samurai.

More slow progress on the JW.Sans type Spec

Been chipping away at the type spec as I have time between other projects. I've made peace with the fact that its going to be slow going, but I'm happy to leverage MidJourney for some additional spice.

(PREV)

(NEXT)

I still don't know what it all means for the creative work flow, but I've been exploring some of my favorite subject matters (a penchant for skulls and gold.. yea, I dunno either). Bringing into PS for some touch-up/compositing...

(PREV)

(NEXT)

Like a lot of other people, I'm on the Mid Journey bandwagon. I think this is going to change a LOT about creative work-flows, licensing images, concept art... Yea, its cool but also pretty worrisome what it's able to do.

Been living in some Tavarua daze

DANC Graphical exporation

I've been going down the rabbit-hole of technical line workings for DANC. Everything about the brand and the world it occupies is technical, so it seems like a miss to not bring that into the design language.
