Designing the artwork for 'I Spit on Your Grave' was a challenging endeavor, but my goal was to empower Jennifer after enduring brutal treatment. From her expression to the way she holds the weapons, I aimed to convey the sense of 'I'm coming for you with a vengeance.

As a devoted fan of David Lynch and his unconventional approach to visual storytelling, I wanted to depict the themes from "Inland Empire," embracing its surreal landscapes and metaphoric depth. The result captured the imagery that resonated with me long after watching the film.

Halloween officially licensed art piece for Printed in Blood’s new Halloween Artbook based on John Carpenter’s 1978 Halloween.

The emergence of the horror slasher genre introduced us to Michael Myers, a character who would become a cornerstone of the genre for years to come. So when I got the chance to contribute to the legacy of this franchise, I jumped at the opportunity. I brainstormed numerous design and composition variations to create a striking image, which ultimately became one of my favorite pieces I've
ever done.

John Hughes has left a lasting impact on audiences with his unique blend of comedy and filmmaking. When HCG invited me to participate in their gallery show titled "Hughes Your Daddy," I immediately chose "Ferris Bueller's Day Off" as my subject. My piece captured several iconic moments from the film, all rendered in a limited yet striking color palette.

Hero Complex Gallery invited me to be part of their third black light art show, and I was thrilled to join talented artists like Vance Kelly and others. When offered the chance to choose a theme, I knew I had more to say with "The Neon Demon." The movie's title alone seemed like an ideal fit for a black light screen print poster. I designed two color variants, both of which turned out to be striking pieces that I'm proud to have created.

David Cronenberg is a titan of the body horror genre. Koch Media hired me to design the artwork for a new Blu-ray release of his iconic film "Dead Ringers." I immediately seized the opportunity, crafting a sleek design that incorporated the deep reds so prevalent in this cult classic.

Here's the poster I designed for Poster Spy's "IT" brief. My approach centered on highlighting the eerie essence of Pennywise, employing a limited color palette to create a distinct and unsettling aesthetic.

A Clockwork Orange piece designed for Creature Features, Through the Mind's Eye: A Group Art Tribute to Stanley Kubrick.

This is my submission for the "Kong: Skull Island" competition. To capture the film's atmosphere, I crafted a compelling composition designed to grab viewers' attention. The top entries were selected for display at Bottleneck Gallery in New York, and I'm proud to say that mine was among the excellent pieces chosen by Legendary Pictures.

Here is my contribution to THE THING: ARTBOOK by: Printed In Blood. The book is Celebrating the 35th anniversary of John Carpenter's sci-fi/horror classic film "The Thing",with over 350 artists involved.

My alternative poster design for "Videodrome" was one of six winning entries showcased at The Cameo, a global exhibit that kicked off with a gala awards ceremony at the final screening of "Suspiria."

Koch Media contacted me after seeing my poster design shortly after and I jumped on board to make it an official Blu-Ray re-release of David Cronenbergs Videodrome.

I entered Poster Spy's poster competition for the film "The Neon Demon." Being a big fan of Nicolas Winding Refn, I embraced the opportunity to experiment with a unique alternative design. My concept centered around the stark reflection of the main character's eyes in a knife, symbolizing both beauty and danger.

For the concept art of a poster for "The Neon Demon," a film by director Nicolas Winding Refn, I aimed to encapsulate his signature aesthetic. As a dedicated fan of his work, I focused on capturing the bold visuals and striking imagery that define his style.

From a new talented Ottawa film director Ben Hoskyn, 8 Minutes ahead is a film about a dying father who makes a sudden change to his will. Two half-brothers from different worlds must decide what they value  most in the world, money or family. 

Working with the film director, we collaborated to make a key poster art that featured the main characters from the film. The style which was chosen embodied the mood and tone of 8 Minutes ahead.

The Bruce Brown Story is an exclusive retrospective documentary on Bruce Brown's life told by one who knew him best, his son, Dana Brown. It's a story of a man, a father, a husband, a filmmaker, a pioneer, a legend - a life well lived.

I was tasked with creating a touching tribute for Dana Brown's father, who was also named Dana Brown, to honor his legacy. The final image was vibrant and electric, capturing the essence of his remarkable story.
