Illustrated Websites
Four web directions where the illustration is the interface: hospitality, wellness, commerce, and editorial. Each page also exists as a real multi-pen drawing.
Artwork and proof share one plot file. The illustrations use sparse coverage-density vectorization and subtractive eight-ink matching. Navigation, headings, prices, and controls are rebuilt as single-stroke paths instead of traced pixels, so the type stays readable. The ink view models the assigned pen colors and widths; the high-gamut carousel remains a digital prototype until its physical overlap chart is measured.
An illustration-led landing page or editorial feature with responsive design and a clear conversion path.
A signed physical interpretation of the approved page, separated for a multi-pen plotter.
A reusable illustration, type, and pattern language for future pages, releases, or editions.
Comic Illustration
Character, cover, and sequential studies used to push line density, color overlap, and expressive mark-making.
Wallpaper & Pattern
Repeat systems designed at room scale, with plotted detail views that show how the motifs resolve in ink.

Earlier Website Studies
The original raster-to-plot experiments are kept here as process evidence; the rebuilt website studies above are the current standard.
Deco Format Studies
A consistent framing and typography test that informed the quieter structure used by the current website series.
Paper Systems
Borders, monograms, and event artifacts tested as separable pen layers.
More Pattern Studies
Additional repeats and color separations retained for development and commissioning reference.
