Swarms is a marriage of my love of language and my love of, well, swarms of things. The book is essentially a series of double-page spread illustrated diptychs of a herd, swarm or flock preceded by a hand-drawn lettering treatment of the collective noun for that type of animal. The hardcover book contains 44 full-color pages.
This book was created as a student project for the Illustration as Visual Essay MFA at The School of Visual Arts, NYC. It has recently been selected as a merit winner in the HOW International Design Awards, and artwork from the book will be featured in the Spring 2016 issue of HOW Magazine.
