Omniana: A Card Game
I’m really excited to finally be able to share a project that I have working on for a long time: I did all of the card and package design for Omniana, which is an incredibly imaginative and fun game created and written by my friend Aaron Delamatre. If the idea of having hilarious arguments with your friends about battles between crazy monsters sounds intriguing, then this is the game for you!

viDEO sAVant makes live cinema—collaborative audio/visual improvisation with music and images responding to each other in real time. Rather than the traditionally static relationship between screen, film and audience, ViDEO sAVant engages with the built environment of the performance space through the use of multiple projections, and by dynamically moving those projections within the space.
Featuring:
Matt Coors—wall treatment
Eddy Kwon—strings
Ofir Klemperer—live electronics
Zach Larabee—percussion
Sayak Shome—live image mix
Charles Woodman—live image mix

I have a drawing included in the show, which features work by 86 artists, and was curated by Ryan Browning and Casey Jex Smith.

All works from the exhibition have been compiled into a publication and playable fantasy role-playing game in the style of Dungeons and Dragons, printed in an edition of 200. This exhibition will feature the original art, the publication, a marathon playing of the game in the gallery by artists, and a performance by Casey Jex Smith.
