Color of a Mirror is my cyberpunk novel centered around a musician who wants to be a rockstar. Written, designed, and published by me, it’s not bombastic or action-heavy, but rather is driven by character and personal, human issues. It gets into ideas of the subconscious and the lies we tell ourselves. If you like the dark futures of William Gibson, I think you’ll find something to like in this book.

I love different forms of communication, anything really that codes words behind beautiful design rather than actual letters. The above design motif is on the cover of the forthcoming deluxe hardcover novel, and is a stylized version of the American braille for “Color of a Mirror” (beginning at bottom left).

Tomorrow is Cyber Monday. This is everything I’ve ever wanted a cerebral, cyberpunk novel to be, so what better day to check it out than tomorrow!
Available exclusively from my website, each copy will come signed by me, and will start shipping on or around Dec. 1.
(And if you want a taste of this world, check out the cinematic dark ambient soundtrack of the same name, now streaming on Spotify and other streaming platforms!)

Dark Alleys. Bright Shadows.
Posting up the first one of these the other day inspired me to make another. As before, I took one of my favorite photos from my abandoned-urban-architecture explorations, stylized it, and then added some sci-fi aesthetic/neon color flair. Perhaps I’ll keep progressing this theme further and further, but for now, I leave it here.
“I See You, Kusanagi.”
Fan art for CD Projekt Red’s forthcoming Cyberpunk 2077... if it was an anime film. The cyber-psycho-turned-cop from the trailer, looking for trouble in Night City.
A bit darker in tone, a bit more minimalist, and not using any marker for text over top. Utilizing only two colors, other than the white of the paper, this one is called "Seep," sort of a play on the melting of one's character, worn down by the world, the darkness latching on and making one's true colors bleed.
It's not all bad though. If you're observant, you'll find a simple, more lighthearted message embedded within.
Thanks for looking!
