Tales for Kids with Beards is a transmedia novel written and composed by David Rios. It follows Captain Butron on his voyages across the sea. The project brings together several artistic disciplines, including animation, literature, illustration, music, radio drama, and poetry, to tell his story.

My role covered all the visual imagery for the project. This included storyboarding, animatics, character design, and background painting. I worked mainly in Photoshop, used Toon Boom Harmony to animate some sequences, and finished compositing in After Effects.

Mauve Grove is an alternative hip-hop and jazz-funk band from Toronto. They blend genres into a sound that feels dense and full of ideas. In 2021, they reached out to me to create cover art for two new singles headed to Spotify: Say Her Name and Creepy Crawlies.

They gave me full creative freedom on both covers. I brought my cartoony style into each one while staying true to the concepts they had in mind.
