Unstable Scientific - Work in progress - independent pixel art video game:
Character design, background art, animation, audio, overall game concept, level and content design.
Molecule Zoo - A source of glass molecule models for the discerning science nerd. Clients have included ThinkGeek and Erowid, and dozens of PhD candidates or their loved ones looking for a gift related to their area of study. I’ve probably made over 2000 molecules at this point. This was one of my primary sources of income for the past 9 years.
Post Psychedelic Cyberpunk Tarot - A custom tarot deck with a theme of science, technology, and psychedelic-era philosophy adjusted for a more modern age. I began the project in 2006 and have since updated it 5 times, most recently this year with its own booklet.

The vast majority of the time I’ve shown my art, it’s been at festivals such as Faerie Worlds, Conscious Culture, and Okanogan Family Faire. I attended street fairs and weekend markets, holiday fairs and themed conventions of all sorts. Unfortunately the pandemic has put a stop to this endless source of joy.
