Off-the-clock vector and type work. No client, no brief, just reps.

2020-2022

Client vector work stays sharp because of reps like these: portraits drawn anchor by anchor with the pen tool, type studies, and full-character illustrations that took anywhere from one day to fourteen. No deadline pressure, just practice that pays off on the clock.

Vector portraits

Commissioned and gifted portraits, hand-drawn in Adobe Illustrator.

Type studies

Typographic explorations in Adobe Illustrator, circa 2020.

Character illustration

Pen tool only, no brushes: build time is the honest difficulty rating.
