Brandon Sanderson's Steelheart Brazil Cover

I was lucky enough to illustrate a wraparound cover for Brandon Sanderson's Steelheart book one of the Reckoners series. Left is back fold, middle is spine, right is front with fold. I re-read the book twice (audiobook, we illustrators need to multitask) and made detailed character notes to try and make the characters as true to form as the image I had of them in my head. Sorry if I missed some things, we have deadlines after all;).

Bridge On The River Kwai Steel Book Blu-Ray Illustrations

Thanks to the team at Gallery 1988 I was asked to create artwork for a BestBuy exclusive Steel Book for this classic film. This was a dream job for a kid who has worked at video stores putting movies on shelves, it was a thrill to see that something I created has a place on that shelf and even better for a movie I love.

Shane Torres
Established 1981 Album Artwork

I work with Comedian Shane Torres to produce this album cover for his album Established 1981. The art is inspired by some of his past jokes of comparing himself to Meatloaf, so the colors and mood are all inspired by the Bat Out Of Hell Album.
