A series of images of iconic border cities. As a unified visual theme for the Border Town project, these icons were used on a website, on printed signage, and on buttons, as well as being featured in an article at The Atlantic. (More images...)

Contraband

Visual design for Contraband, a two player card game written by David Rusak in which smugglers and border guards vie for control of an international border crossing. The cards and mat are designed to be distributed as digital files and printed inexpensively. Contraband was exhibited at the Detroit Design Festival in September 2011 as part of the Border Town project. For the exhibition edition, the mat design was hand screen printed onto muslin.

Interactive Fiction Quickstart Card

This is one side of a postcard given out at the Penny Arcade Expo East in March 2010 as part of a public outreach program by the People's Republic of Interactive Fiction. The card is a reference for many of the most common commands encountered by players of interactive fiction in a convenient postcard-sized format. The text is by IF visionary Andrew Plotkin.

A PDF version of the card can be found here; it can also be found, along with various other less faithful formats, at the PR-IF website. It is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike 3.0 United States License.

24 Hour Comics Day 2009

My second attempt at 24 Hour Comics Day. This time, I ended up scrapping my project at approximately the 12-hour mark and starting over. And then I fell asleep a few hours later. The result is much simpler than the previous year's comic; the full comic is viewable here.
