The King of Oddments

In collaboration with the editorial staff at Birdy Magazine, I created an editorial illustration for Joel Tagert’s short science fiction story. The piece was originally rendered using brush pen on paper, then brought to life with digital color and layout in Figma. Working closely with the Birdy team, I aimed to capture the tone and atmosphere of Tagert’s writing—balancing traditional hand-drawn texture with a polished, contemporary layout that complemented the story’s imaginative world.
