Best of the South Side 2025
I commissioned illustrations from Mike Centeno and provided art direction for the hero and spot illustrations in this annual celebration of Chicago’s South Side.
Curfew City
I illustrated and commissioned illustrations for this story package centered around a proposed curfew ordinance in response to “teen takeover” trends. I also provided additional design support.
This story package was co-published with South Side Weekly and The Triibe.
