We Live and Love by John Taylor
Design & Illustration Commission, 2014 | Santa Monica, CA
John is an exceptional jazz musician and multi-talented composer. I had the pleasure of working with him on his second album"We Live and Love". The final sketch is based on the song of the same name, a track that seemed to wholly encompass the entire album in its themes of unity, love, and joy in reliving past endeavors and introspection. The thought of a tower of two hands joined together immediately came to mind.

"Shadows in the Leaves" Thank You Card | Digital and Collage
I wanted to use images of foliage I took on a warm summer's day in New Orleans, with the scenery of a boy taking a girls' hand out of the shadows.
A card to show thankfulness for a friend's support in the best way possible; simply being by my side and pulling me to the light.
