Circle of Seasons
Requirements
Description
This year has been tough, and one thing that has helped me stay positive are the online creative communities I have been privileged to be a part of. They have helped me stay grounded and connected through all of the chaos, and have given me something to look forward to every day.
Every Friday a small group of us creatives gets together on Discord to play art games, help each other with feedback, troubleshoot, or just chat. These hangouts remind me of the pinochle card game gatherings my family used to play. I thought a good analogy for this feeling would be creating a deck of playing cards.
Playing cards can be enjoyed solo or with family members, and are a great analog activity break from screens with a wide range of games to choose from.
Living in Ohio, I am fortunate enough to experience 4 seasons of weather—which aligns nicely with the 4 suits in a deck. The artwork will hopefully serve as a reminder that whatever season you are in, a new one is right around the corner!
I had the honor of being chosen to work on a commission through the Adobe Creative Residency Fund in 2020 to promote Illustrator on the iPad. The app has become one of my go-to tools since it was released with how easy files flow from the app to desktop.

These cards are stunning. The artwork makes them an absolute joy for playing any game.
These cards completely blew me away! The illustrations on the cards are gorgeous and have a very modern and relaxing feel to them. They play as well as any deck of cards but if you're looking for some...
