The "Live Your Colors" Mural
This project was a joy for me to complete in celebrating the LGBTQ+ community on the Northwestern campus. Working with the center director, Matthew Abtahi, I was able to create a sketch of the mural and incorporate several ideas. These included the incorporation of the original Gilbert-Baker Pride Flag, connection to existing artistic elements of the space (five colored stripes along the walls), and the inclusion of a variety of identities. Ultimately, combining these elements I created a winding ribbon connecting to the existing elements in the space. I created one figure for each stripe on the Gilbert-Baker Pride Flag, each of these figures was painted in correlation to the colors of a specific group's pride flag. In this project, I was able to not only represent my community but also to develop my distinct graphic and colorful art style.
Below you'll find two of my comics, the first "All Gays Go to Hell" is a satirical comic about what happens when someone gay dies.
The second, "Stealtholopod" is a children's style comic which explores storytelling with minimal dialogue.

These illustrations/designs are pulled from my ttrpg: Thanostos. Combining the Underworld of Greek mythology, Mörk Borg death-metal style table-top games, and a dash of my approach to the afterlife with comedy and satire drizzled in. These creations are a grand and exciting undertaking that allow me to explore my skills in layout-design, illustration, and overall storytelling. They also gave me crucial experience in design for book-layout, margin awareness, and color correction for print. All images were created in Photoshop and InDesign.
