Dante’s Inferno
How does one interpret hell? In the classic book Inferno by Dante Alighieri, readers walk through the gates of hell and experience the effects of the seven deadly sins on each of the nine damned levels. This visual narrative illustrates the horrific atmospheres and experiences of those in Dante’s Infernos, adding a visual narrative to the well-known classic.
Ovid’s Metamorphosis
Surrounding the theme of change and metamorphosis, this project illustrates Ovid’s collection of poems and takes style inspiration from 1920s German expressionism. The collection of stories features Pygmalion, Echo Narcissist, Daedalus Icarus and more as readers experience change and are captured through the illustrations.
The Humans of New York
The Humans of New York project illustrates a man who has dedicated his life to gas consumption and shares his story and message with the people of New York. Each page is illustrated as a triptych and shows different critical elements of his story.
Quest for the Fountain of Youth
