Personal Projects
Graphic Design and Illustration
Here are some examples of personal projects, many of which feature my cat. This selection of work includes samples from a cat-themed holiday coloring book I created as a Christmas gift, composited screens savers of my cat in famous paintings, and things I found funny to make. These projects were not great to work on, but also helped me develop skills in illustration, compositing, composition, and and personal style.
Key Takeaways
• Genuine joy and interest in developing skills in design
• Nice mix of humor, personal interests, aesthetic, and personality
• Cats baby!
