Imaginary Friends

Personal Project
Illustration
2025

A personal, ongoing project that exists for the purpose of making art for my own household, this is a a series of “imaginary friends”—various duos of two friendly monsters—in some of my wife and I’s favorite places around the world. Together as a collection, they form a gallery wall of illustrated prints in the room of our twin daughters. 

The inspiration the series is in in the concept that, even when we didn’t know them yet, these two little monsters were accompanying us on our journeys.

The space is organized into sections with signs for genres like jazz, classical, rock, and blues. Decorations include a globe and various artwork.
