Limited Run Games

You’re always going to find me somewhere nerdy. If your function doesn’t have some crew of lovable oddballs, you can be sure I’ll start that group or you won’t find me there for long. So working with Limited Run Games fits the bill. A lot of passion and talented folks helping create new and fun editions of personal faves, cult classics and other games worthy of some love.

There’s a delicate balancing act of speed and quality when it comes to handling the production of these collector’s editions. You need to be able to hit the ground running with an already workable and proven concept or iterate quickly if you’re treading new territory, all the while keeping in mind the spirit of the product, the scope of productions capabilities, and the wants/needs of the partner. It’s dizzying keeping up, and you could get lost fine-tuning to death but you learn to let it go and see the light of day or leave it on the drafts shelves.

Alementary – Bottles and Cans

I’ve been fortunate enough to have a brewery open so close to my living residence. It was only a matter time before I found a way to work for them.

As I worked with them for several years, I was blessed to work on and develop an eclectic style of labels for canned and bottle product.

Playing around in the label space was an education in layout, file organization, and communicating with vendors. In the hustle and bustle of brewing, timelines can drag and accelerate all the time, and it gave me experience honing my workable templates so that I can get to thumbnailing ideas quicker and worry less about spacing and placement of recurring elements.

Credits and Recap Pages

During my time with Marvel, much of my time was dedicated to processing newer acquisitions. Primarily when Disney acquired the rights to Star Wars, we had to make sure thousands of books were up-to-snuff for release on our digital platform, Marvel Unlimited.

Building a Cover

One of the benefits of working with comics is making the covers.  In this case, I got to build around our existing English covers for translated editions.
