The Corvin Castle

The Corvin Castle is a gothic-renaissance castle in Hunedoara, Romania. These are the photos I took during our two hour visit. This is probably my favorite site in Romania. I love the beaten-down look of the structure and simple architecture, so I went fo an amateurish approach rather than worrying about capturing as much of the structure in each angle. I think there are plenty of such images out there. I was looking for a more honest and intimate record of events.

Growth

Lately I've been trying to further my skills as a letterer. In this illustration, I used the image of a fresh beech wood branch as a symbol of my progress and personal growth as an artist.

Do It Yourself

I aim to create most of the content, if not all, from scratch. Having widely available resources at your fingertips is no substitute for high quality, custom work. This illustration is available for licensing.

The Redditor

The Redditor is a DIY digital magazine created entirely from original content posted on reddit.com. I was tasked to create four chapter pages that are based on the site's sub-reddits (threads). In order of appearance, they are /askreddit - a thread dedicated to asking and answering questions; /ama - "ask me anything" is a sort of interview where a person tells all; /stories - a place where people tell factual or fictional events; /pics - the thread for sharing interesting photographs.

Twisting in the Wind

Starting a career as a graphic designer often feels like twisting in the wind. It's great to have mentors and work that inspires you, but in the end, you're the one that has to ride out the storm.

Lights Out

The task here was to achieve light painting techniques used in photography by creating them from scratch. This was done using image editing software instead of the more common method of photographing moving light. Such an approach can be good for legibility and aesthetics, as writing with a laser pointer can be a tricky matter.

Down the Drain

A visual depiction of lost inspiration. This is based on the many ideas that we as creatives lose to procrastination and lack of determination.
