Book cover for The Rice Eaters published by @1319press !! 🎨🌃 So so happy to finally share my art and design- I can’t wait to get my own copy!! I tried to reflect the political narrative, artistic subject matter, and relationship between the central characters- a husband and wife.
Thanks you so much to @cai.john for writing such an amazing play and giving me direction!! And thank you Sarah for the opportunity, I loved working on this book!
“Fan Gao, his family and friends are Chinese workers trapped in a factory called Da Feng village; their job is to copy Van Gogh; their employers are from Germany and Hong Kong; their products are sold all over the world; they paint Starry Night in half an hour but get paid very little. They want to escape; they want to paint their own works; they want to be free. “

Anora movie poster! 🎆💔🧣I made this right before the Oscar’s came out and forgot to post. I’ve always been a Sean Baker fan and was happy to see indie films get widely celebrated this year!! Mikey Madison killed it in this film #anora #mikeymadison #seanbaker #movie #movieposter #movieart #illustration #procreate #art #illustrator #moviescenes
Cockroaches! 🪳👚🏠Very late but here is the show art for the southern gothic play written by the amazing @emma_schillage and directed @mack3nna ! A story about three sisters trapped in their childhood home alongside their mother. “Cockroaches explores how we create monsters, survive them, punish them, and learn from them in the wake of disaster.” I am so grateful I got the opportunity to work on this and I loved every party of illustrating this story! Thank you Emma!!

Nothing&Everything🐚🧠Poor Things art!! Mock illo based on NYT article exploring the creative collaboration between Yorgos Lanthimos and Emma Stone. The aesthetic direction of this whole film- set design, costuming, color palette- was aspirational. Process video coming soon

So so excited to show my work for cunnicularii🌱🐇, an upcoming play about motherhood from @goodapplescollective ! Thank you to the super talented @mcintoshmarron , @goodheart9na , and @esmemariang for working with me😭World premiere is opening in Flatiron District June 28th- come see it!!
——————————————————
Mary is an expectant mother. Mary gives birth to a rabbit. Mary must adjust her expectations. A piercing fable about the wonder and brutality of motherhood, cunnicularii interrogates the crushing pressure new parents face and questions how much of ourselves we can truly give to our offspring.
