Alien Botany book becomes real
The story, the research, the illustrations, the fancy binding... I'm getting butterflies just thinking about it.

Imagine walking through a glowing Alien Botany garden! This has been a dream of mine for over two years, but so far it's been out of reach.
About
Right now, I'm based in Northern California, where I'm working on Alien Botany — a multimedia art series dedicated to beastly flora and antique botanical illustration. Alien Botany is series of hyper-detailed concept drawings, fine art prints, and a clothing line, with the long-term goal of a coffee table book. I'm passionate about creating, photo-expeditions, curating, and inspiring others to make their own adventures. I love the smell of wet leaves, fresh ink, and engine oil.
My other projects are as follows:
The Secret Guide to Alternative Beijing is a video travel guide series giving insight into the skyrocketing alternative art, fashion, music, and nightlife culture in Beijing. On this project, I function as curator, co-director and host. The initial phase of The Secret Guide was funded through Kickstarter. This was my second Kickstarter effort.
I founded and raised over $8,000 for D4RT – a project aiming to bring art classes and supplies to a developing village in the Peruvian Amazon jungle, where I taught an introductory kids’ art workshop and, together with village locals, painted a mural on the school wall. I’d like to do this again sometime.
GHST RDR is my first foray into fashion design in collaboration with Adriana Fulop of Toronto label, Plastik Wrap. GHST RDR is a mini-collection consisting of an architectural, retro-futuristic jacket-and-skirt combo, inspired by Victorian riding fashion and anime robots.
I was part of Coilhouse – a magazine and blog I co-founded, billed as “a love letter to alternative culture”. During my time with Coilhouse, I functioned as co-editor, curator, merchandise designer, writer and illustrator, interviewing Clive Barker and Grant Morrison among many other luminaries.
Before it was discontinued, I worked as a culture writer and photographer for RedBull’s Chinashop Magazine, specializing in urban exploration and art coverage. I visited independent businesses and the studios of fellow artists and fashion designers, documenting creative spaces and conducting interviews.
