Halloween Multimedia Collection
The Monster Mash
Every year I like to have a couple big projects lined up for artist alleys and my personal Halloween Party. What began as a cast of characters loosely inspired by the Universal Monsters has grown into a multimedia collection of prints, postcards, figurines, game assets, and apparel.
Creatures of the Night
2026 Illustrated Print Collection
The Harvest Comes to An End
2026 Illustrated Print
Everyone Wants to Pet The Dog
2025 Halloween Postcard
Halloween Party Trophies
Winner Winner Pumpkin Dinner
Every year I host a large Halloween Party, and it's always accompanied by a costume contest. I create the trophies by hand for the two perennial categories: Best and Funniest.
2024 was an acrylic block with a holographic decal sandwiched inside, while 2025 was a fully 3D printed resin trophy with a green battery powered LED that could be turned off with a switch beneath the pedestal. 2026 featured another holographic acrylic stand, but this time affixed to a solid wood base and engraved plate to give it some heft.
Vinyl Boxed Figurines
Packaging
I wanted the handmade figures to feel like something you'd find on a store shelf, so I designed custom packaging inspired by Hallmark's Keepsake Collection. Each box introduces the character and their relationship to the other three.
Animated Illustrations
"Up to No Good"
Halloween Party Animated Welcome Card
An animated welcome card created for my 2024 Halloween party, displayed alongside other looping animations throughout the evening.
PSX Style Models
Retro Renders
Designed using as few tris as possible, these models are textured and modeled in the style of N64, PlayStation 1, and Dreamcast games. The four models average around 700 tris each, with all textures contained on 256×256px canvases.
They're rigged for animation and optimized for use in Unity.
NES Greeting Card
Design Constraints
Using the real sprite restrictions and tech limitations found on the NES, this little animation authentically recreates the style and feeling of the late 80s and early 90s gaming scene for a fun digital greeting card.
Stickers and Other Illustrations
Brotherhood of Beasts
Fantasy Multimedia Story
A Family Affair
This project is a collection of products, video game assets, digital paintings, and portraits inspired by a Dungeons & Dragons campaign I created with my brother.
It's a love letter to the two guys who shaped me into the man I am, and to the story we created together.
3D Printed Miniatures
Maximum Miniatures
This project marks my first foray into SLA Resin Printing. The models were first drafted as 2D concepts that were then reimagined in 3D using the iPad Pro's Nomad Sculpt application.
After supporting and slicing in Formlabs, these boys were primed and painstakingly hand-painted over the course of a few weeks. I applied a matte clear coat—which, if I'm honest, I'd have chosen in satin if I could do it over again.
These hard resin statuettes sit at 4" tall. Not a great size for Dungeons and Dragons gameplay, but they were meant to stand alone as oversized miniatures.
Cardboard Companions
Each figurine has a holographic trading card to accompany it, with the back displaying a short story that pushes forward the story of this beastly trio.
Cards were handmade using transparent inkjet paper adhered to foil cardstock.
Color Trio
Song of Shadows Mini Game
Dungeon Crawling
Coded in C++, this tiny roguelike was a hobby project I worked on for a few months. It features five playable characters, randomly generated dungeons, and unlockable abilities found throughout each run.
It's still in pre-alpha, but you can play the current build below.
The game loops randomly generated mazes with enemies that need to be defeated before the next floor is unlocked. Some floors are dark, which will require additional care when traversing.
The enemies fight back yet, but if you're looking to blow off some steam by killing dozens of goblins, you can play the game here:

Comedy Feature Film
"My Mom Just Always Told Me My Favorite Wrestler Was My Dad"
Mike Young needed a bunch of posters to hang up in the disgustingly unkempt room of Freddy, played by Dustin Ybarra. Freddy never knew his dad, and thus had to look up to the luchadores that came on TV after his mother's telenovelas as father figures. His favorite was El Leon, a brave and righteous fighter. He never got the chance to meet El Leon, though. His only autograph is from a C-List luchadore, The Flea.
I also made a custom card that Freddy preciously cared for, unlike the rest of his apartment. Double Sleeved.
Graphic Posters
Astute Citizens
A secondary antagonist of the film is a local police officer, who's home is very musical and well kept. He needed safe, non-copyrighted posters for his basement, so I kept it classy with some Bauhaus inspired posters.

Wrap Gift
Beautiful People
As a reward for not breaking any of my props (they got pretty close, believe me), I made the cast little caricatures in time for the wrap party.

Sci-Fi Short Film
What Happens When A Robot Gets Fired?
This 15-minute film was made as my senior thesis within Michigan State University's Fiction Filmmaking program. In addition to the hand made costume, a large amount of print media was needed for the set design and promotional material.
The costume itself was an amazing experience in creating something that blends visual effects with practical costuming. I planned and tested the costume extensively to make the visual-effects work in post as straightforward as possible.
End Credits
Motion Design
I always wanted to design a full credits scene for a motion picture. Here, I got a little taste of it in the short. The motion design was based on promotional materials I'd made for the movie, and the music was made by the incredibly talented, Lansing-local band Vincie D.
Set Decoration
Disco Future
Art was needed to populate the world, and the aesthetic for the film was largely inspired by the warmth of 1970s decor and art, with vibrant magentas and cyans to bring the future to the era of disco.
Some art was directly inspired by other art pieces, such as the famous power and equality picture used in Arri's apartment.
Promotional Material
Posters
The film had two posters made - one primary (right) and one handed out as a special edition for those who came to the screenings at the four festivals around the state.
For the primary poster, I wanted it to be fully illustrated on a limited color palette. As an illustrator myself I'd have felt like a louse if I just made a simple floating heads poster for my own movie.
The secondary poster takes inspiration from the promotional artwork for Daft Punk's Random Access Memories.
Fun Drawings
The Goblin
Self Portraits
Unconventional Self Love
When I was a kid I always drew myself in a green shirt. I don't know why. My first oil self-portrait, I unconsciously chose green as my background color. I can't explain it, but green's my color.
Does that mean I have to draw myself with such a big nose? No. But I do.
Think It Up Write It Down
Online Children's Literacy Tool
During COVID, nonprofits that normally toured the country for elementary school assemblies were looking for new ways to reach their audiences. I worked with a team of programmers on an online literacy course for children ages 4–8, structured as a choose-your-own-adventure game
I created the illustrated backgrounds for the program, drawing inspiration from Joe Murray's work on Camp Lazlo and Rocko's Modern Life.
