RETURN TO GREY GARDENS POSTER

Very honored to have been asked to help out with a poster illustration to promote Return to Grey Gardens, starring Peaches Christ and Jinkx Monsoon. I handled the background illustration for the very talented Alex Dakoulas, of Dance Party Massacre. You can see here my drawing on its own, as well as placed into Alex's completed poster. Fun! Additionally, I was not familiar with the story of Grey Gardens before this, so it was a great experience doing research (which included watching the great HBO film starring Drew Barrymore and Jessica Lange).


JREF EDUCATIONAL MODULES

It was my great honor to once again work with the James Randi Educational Foundation, to help with the creation of two of their newest "JREF in The Classroom" lessons. Head on over to the JREF website to learn more about these great, free resources for teachers and students! I'll just touch briefly on my role as the artist here. The basic template elements, such as the headers, had already been established; I was of course beholden to an official style guide; and I was given a few of the images to work with. My role was to arrange the copy, create the layout, and fill in the gaps with images of my own. I don't like using generic stock imagery, so I created all the images I wasn't given from scratch, including both covers. Aside from illustrations, some of the photos were also taken by me, in locations surrounding Madison where I live (the house that looks like a face, and the tree featured in the brain diagram, are in our local arboretum, for example).

PM: NEW CLASS GEAR

We added three new character classes to Parallel Mafia, voted on and chosen by the player community. They each get their own specialized gear. I mostly handled the new Juggernaut class's armor and weapons.
