Smithsonian Magazine

I was commissioned by Smithsonian Magazine to create an illustration for an article in their 250th anniversary edition.

The piece depicts Jerry Lawson, pioneering video game designer and inventor, created in response to an editorial feature on his legacy. The work combines portraiture and retro video game layout with my surreal visual language to create a fun interpretation of an important figure in video game history.
