Best World Series I’ve ever seen and I’m a Cards fan 🤯

The U.S. media is complicit. Tomorrow is a blatant abuse of government funds and power just to stroke the ego of an incompetent president with an even more unqualified cabinet. I hope it literally rains on his parade. #NoKings

Serving up some abstract thoughts on design. Good modern design weaves together disparate elements into something cohesive and impactful. What companies do you consider to be leading the modern design industry today? 🎾 #DesignLife #Abstract #Editorial #DesignInspiration

Eat, sleep, breathe, draw D&D. This is Gourdwin Chopín, Lv 6 Wood Elf, pleasure to meet your acquaintance. He enjoys foraging ingredients for his next meal and always has a pinch of salt on hand. #dungeonsanddragons #characterart #illustration

This week marks 8 years with my company, Siege Media. In April 2017, I moved to CA with no job or prospects, but Siege gave me an interview. Today I am a Senior Art Director working with some of the best designers in the country. Thanks for celebrating with me ✌️ #graphicdesign #marketing

Krabby Pokémon walk cycle. This one broke my brain, and I added about 4 extra hours adding a proper rigging structure using the DUIK plugin. #pokemon #animation #2danimation #aftereffects #duik #motiongraphics #characterdesign #art

I’ve realized after 12+ years in the field that I really enjoy mixed media design. This image was achieved with four different skill sets: 1. Photography 2. Lightroom editing 3. Vector illustration 4. Collaging via Photoshop #graphicdesign #art #design

In 2024 I designed schedule posters for 5 University of San Diego sports. To highlight the excitement and vibrancy of USD’s culture, I decided to infuse these print graphics with pieces of San Diego’s premier offerings: Sand, Surf, and Sun 🏖️ 🌊 ☀️ #posterdesign #graphicdesign #printdesign #ncaa

Many of my friends developed a new obsession during COVID. For me, it was collecting vinyl records. 5+ years later and I’ve almost maxed out my IKEA Kallax shelf. While this sounds like a good thing, it’s led to the dreaded choice paralysis. What’s your must-have record? #vinyl #records

If you’ve ever wanted to learn how to animate characters, first — don’t. But, if you do, I highly recommend the Duik rigging plugin in After Effects. #aftereffects #animation #graphicdesign #digitalart
