Custom hand-drawn illustration created for Snow Ride Nordic Pilsner, a collaborative beer release by Portage Brewing Company and Otso Cycles.
Inspired by winter cycling and the forests of Minnesota, the artwork was featured on the beer's packaging. A custom illustration for an officially licensed Godzilla T-shirt by Subtitle. Combining expressive waves, Japanese pine trees, and a hand-drawn interpretation of Godzilla, the artwork brings an iconic character into a cohesive, vintage-inspired coastal scene. Approved by the Godzilla team for production. An illustrated logo for Devoti Candle Co, a Catholic devotional candle brand. A hand-drawn image of the Virgin Mary brings a quiet, personal touch to the brand’s existing wordmark. A series of custom hand-drawn botanical illustrations created for the Oregon State University Arboretum and published in Oregon Stater, the university's alumni magazine.
The project features detailed illustrations of selected tree species, capturing their distinctive forms and natural characteristics in our signature sketch style.
