As a designer/creative I get interesting feedback all the time. I decided to take some of this amazing client advice and turn it into inspirational posters. These are taken directly from emails! Making lemonade today. Thanks @dylan_fowler for that last one. #design #inspirationalquotes #shitclientssay #thinkaboutit #adobe#

Everyday is International Women’s Day. Here’s one in particular that means a lot to me. #internationalwomensday

This is my submission for an art book that the incredible @matttaylordraws is putting together. This was one of the first times I played a video game where I felt that the medium could swap out the typical run and gun approach, in exchange for a more serene, immersive, and artistic experience. I didn’t realize at the time how much this game would influence both my work and my view of video games as an art form. Now the game has been given a fresh coat of paint by @bluepointgames and I’m excited to jump back in! #shadowofthecolossus #sotc #playstation #conceptart #gameart #videogames #derekwk #ColossusArt #fanart

I realized I haven’t drawn Boba Fett since I was a kid and wanted to give it a shot now that I’m older. I also wanted to draw a Star Wars character who is simply at rest and not necessarily partaking in all the Wars around him. Might do a small series! #derekwk #boba #bobafett #denverartist #conceptart #starwars #starwarsfan #starwarsfanart #fanart #disney #disneyhireme #figuredrawing #illustration #adobe #digitalart #digitalartist #empirestrikesback

A Christmas gift for the lovely and amazing @bellatestarossa , an #illustration of us and her 🐈 Kaleo having an adventure in the Mad Max universe!!

I’ve learned so much from you already and I look forward to our adventures in the future!!! #conceptart #derekwk #loveart #madmax #furyroad #digitalart #illustration #adobephotoshop #digitalpainting #subaru #altima #kaleothecat #adventureculture :)
