Like Grains of Sand

I've been working on a 2D platformer-type game for a bit now. It's a school project, but it's also a concept I've had in the back of my head for a while. This is a thing I drew today for that thing I mentioned a few sentences ago. Please view it with your eyes.

Grains of sand as in hour glass which keeps time and grains of sand as in grainy pixels, each a tiny piece of a gigantic whole. It's a clever title I swear.

Five shades of gray and some little color accents that I may or may not keep. I've always had a fascination for clock towers, and I'm happy to report that nothing has changed.

World Domination Made Easy

The Uchukira Corporation is proud to announce that How to Assemble Your New Doomsday Device has won first prize in the animation category at the Take 5 Film Festival!



Here are some production notes if you're into that kind of thing.

A successful doomsday device must have many exposed wires and a large amount of bubbly liquid. It's just science.

I'll Make You a Pizza You Can't Refuse

There's a pizza place nearby with a mafia theme. Their current menu doesn't really suit their restaurant - it's built around buffet and delivery orders, but finding a way to order the pizza you want is a bit of a mess. It lists all kinds of things you don't need to know while in the store and things that don't do you any good outside the store, like the contents of the salad bar and the drinks available at the drink fountain. Here's the original for comparison.

Their little mafioso logo is only pink on the online menu, and for the life of me I can't figure out why.


I redesigned and streamlined their menu, turning it into a tear-away notepad. The focus was on user experience, and I wanted a design that would be easy for the customers and cooks to interact with. This menu explains everything you need to know about building a pizza with little pieces of mafia theming sprinkled throughout. I also redesigned the logo while I was at it.
