Some of these advertisements get promoted in the San Mateo Daily Journal for weekly printed publication (color and grayscale), the Internet Movie Database, as well as both The Peninsula Local Magazine and The Spectrum online publications previously.

Independent Artwork

Created either for direct publication (i.e. Internet Movie Database), merchandise or for assignment, whether digital, charcoal or pencil. Posters can feature some of the most striking moments woven together to suggest where the storyline is headed. In all cases, the imagery intertwines implications of the main characters/themes presented, all while hinting at what lies in the journey ahead.
