An ongoing exploration of the cyberpunk genre, directed by the origins of the tech-fueled movement, the Neuromancer series by William Gibson. Digitally illustrated, drawing upon traditional Japanese artistry combined with metaphysic technological symbols.
Japanese techno DJ Wata Igarashi’s third EP, Kioku re-imagined with attention to his hypnotic, knife’s edge sound.
An integration of graffiti futurism into Y2K, anime bubbliness. Materialised for Melbourne streetwear, through embroidery and puff screen printing on urban wear garments.
An emotive, abstract illustration series exploring themes of reflection, identity and positive self-talk. Viscerally communicated through fragmented, illusionary linework and powerfully hypnotic colours.

Logo and Typography
I’ve always been fascinated by letterforms and their simplistic yet convoluted symbolism and fundamental necessity to language. Many of my experiments and my illustrative style looks to transgress the original forms or letters and word, and altering their perceptual limit as to what collective shapes can still communicate the intended word. A lot of my play involves this experimentation, drawing influences from graffiti, brutalism and sci-fi ways of communication. While I understand a lot of this style defeats the purpose of ‘communication’ if it’s excessively hard to read, I find beauty in the process of pushing limits and seeing words as an illustrative curation of letters and creating unique marks through this process.
