I Am We
I worked on a series of illustrations for Pegasus Magazine, the alumni publication of the University of Central Florida. The article is titled "I Am We", it's a story investigating why ordinary people are compelled to join violent revolutions. Art director Lauren Waters asked me to create a full page opener (also animated), and a couple spot illustrations.
Core Skills (Education Week)

The author talks about how the future economy will favor those with a strong foundation, but who are also versatile, willing to learn new skills, and able to adapt to an ever-changing technological and economic environment.

Folks Magazine approached me to do a series of illustrations for John Brownlee's essay "My Father The Werewolf". It's about his childhood experience growing up with his father who suffered from depression, and describes the instability as like living with a werewolf. Here are some illustrations that appear throughout the article.
