book cover post. I had the honor of making the final three covers for @scalzi "Zoe's Tale", "The Human Division", and "The End of All Things" for the Brazilian market and Aleph. also adding the extended pano versions. fun to make, with quite some layout planning for sure.

Rick Rubin - The Creative Act: A Way of Being, is the absolute best motivator book for creative minds in search of a meaningful pulse. I am baffled by what he has been able to accomplish, both in terms of guidance and reflection. I am inspired, so here's a sketch.

Squeezing some last bits of line work before the new year. Sure fact is, I will never get rid of the line versus paint dilemma. I love both too much.

Book cover for the French market, done earlier this year. in the middle of this AI art crisis, I feel compelled to post my process/steps because that's where all the fun and learning comes from. the wins, the errors, wrapped in a single image. train your brain, not machines.

Lots of (valuable) talks but where's the art? so to balance things before new year knocks, here's line stuff from 2022.

Quite some Twitter turmoil right now. it makes me wonder why I keep coming back here, but now I remember! It's all because of the art.

I often post final art, as the epitome of what we can achieve etc. but what about the working files, and the research work to get there? digging into folders, here's some Halo 5 maps study sheets and wall designs. from around 2014.

All good things come to an end. After close to 14 years on HALO, I have decided to pursue other opportunities outside Microsoft and 343 Industries. It's been a hell of a ride, loved every minute of it. Wishing the absolute best to 343, you guys are and always will be amazing.
