Phew I have managed to get myself together and vectorize this.
You see, some of my friends wanted to start a band in 2025 and I just had to design a cool logo for them, as an incentive. Will they become more than social media presence in 2026?Only time will tell...

Informational brochures to go into praline boxes.

These were designed to be printed at around 12 x 12 cm per fold, as to fit neatly even in the smallest box available.

Espera as The Three Graces. A not so subtle nod to Bernini.
Masks _inspired_ by @hysteriamachine because I can't paint all that insane detail.

@espera.bgv you are beautiful and mysterious and pure magic.

Continuing my 2025 #SleepToken retrospective. Their music has been incredibly significant in helping me out of one of the worst art blocks I've ever experienced. There is such vivid imagery in the albums, and such a rich surreal worldbuilding.

[this is a fictional project]

Design Direction and Visual Identity for an audio production company named Manic Sound. Leaning into a little bit of nostalgia and wireframes, recycled from my bachelor final project.

I tend to fixate quite a lot on things I like. It's not due to boredom or a lack of preoccupations, it's simply how my brain works. Once upon a time I used to get ridiculed heavily because I could never like anything 'a normal amount'. 1/3

ELECTRCAT is a [fictional] experimental music collective looking to launch their first ever album, CHAOS. The visuals here aim to explore this exact concept, through glitchy patterns and typography play.

Even in this garden of gardens, I am the god of the cats - or whatever Vessel said.

Yet another instance of taking meme material and turning it into ✨ ART✨.

HELLO THIS IS JERRY.

Something I made for a friend. Notice the apple blosssoms and the art deco motifs. All that juicy geometry makes me happy. Flamingos have weird creepy angry eyes.
