Memes are my lifeblood.
Meme life
Why I do
All I had to start was a set of 'Shitposts' in the head, very imaginative logic and a sense of Dada to enter design.
Dadaism is a post-modern abstract style to critique modern society. My design heavily involves Dada, and serves as a core aspect to what I do everyday. I am Dada. Without a twist, things get very boring and predictable. I like seeing unpredictable and unorthodox things, similar to what I do for both design and life.
I never like throwing straight balls when a brief is pitched, I throw curved angles, but anyone receiving them will always catch them. I make sense of what is random or doesn't add up and translate it into things others can understand when working with me.
I can't go without humorous or nonsensical references, they push my work to the finished piece. Not just done very well, they will be done
DADA well.
How I do
What I do
I do branding and illustration oriented design work. Creating unique personas and stories is particularly entertaining to me.
​
If i'm not doing design, I would be doing personal paintings, world building elsewhere, video games or doing a
good meme.
NOT WORK
Definitely not.
5-7 from Girl's Frontline, an attempt at a bold contrast aesthetic
Digital Essentials. The first meme done in Polytechnic by myself. This is a vector artpiece that mimics an actual painting with hard edges.
A style test done in 2021 with my original characters.
A concept from a friend to render. He can morph baguettes into anything he needs. When will you ever see anyone use baguettes as tools?
A casual costume test for Amara.
A collaboration piece with the criteria of zodiac x card formation. I was given Queen of Clubs.
A style test done off a challenge for the character Jeanne d'arc (Joan of Arc) from Fate/Grand Order.
A test for composition with a series of characters from my personal project.
A layout & minimal character sheet done for Seth Starlight, the main protagonist of my personal project.
Dada Design
Not just any Design.
