Graphic Design, Illustration, and Comics

Monument illustration

Documented the changes on one of our local monuments. I had no intention to sell it, but folks asked for prints. I didn’t feel comfortable with keeping the money, so I asked around until I came to the Richmond Transparency and Accountability Project. We were able to raise over $3500 for them.

Posters

Made this poster for a Neil DeGrasse Tyson lecture in Richmond. The other is a fan art poster for A Girl Walks Alone Home At Night.

Inktober 2019

I collected all my inktober drawings onto a single poster. This year I challenged myself to illustrate them all using a button as a template. All were originally pen & ink.

Night Away

Film poster design/illustration for a short film to be produced in the near future, Night Away. It’s about a girl who is pushing back on learning Farsi in favor of being seen as “normal” while growing up in the states. Something relatable to many second generation kids like myself. I feel like we all end up embracing that which makes us unique later in life. Screenplay by Shirin Saghaie and Quamé Hamlin.

Hakka invitational poster

For an invite only component to the annual Shenzhen International Poster Exhibition in China. I am one of 100 designers selected.
 
I read a dissertation on Hakka peoples’ identity to help. This poster highlights how they originally migrated from northern China to the south and how food has been a constant no matter the location or time period. The bowl being divided into multiple styles is about those changes, but all still holding the same food, braised pork in fermented vegetables.
