When accuracy matters more than opinions, I make the picture worth the 10,000-word brief.
I’ve helped the Supreme Court actually understand what’s going on inside of your lower receivers on more than one occasion. So whether you’re teaching a casual reader or a court, you’ve come to the right place.
Illustration that informs at the highest level.
In the world of firearms policy and litigation, visuals are more than just illustrations, they are essential tools for understanding complex concepts. I create accurate, detailed illustrations that explain firearm functions and accessories in a way that supports legal arguments and policy discussions. When I’m illustrating how a firearm functions my goal is to provide clear, factual visuals that help those who need to make informed decisions.
I work directly with attorneys, including those at non-profit organizations, to ensure my illustrations seamlessly integrate with their written briefs. The process begins with an in-depth discussion about the case or article, followed by rough sketches to align on the visuals and make sure the illustrations are effective.
Once I have the necessary references or photos, I create detailed, accurate illustrations and fine-tune them with input from the team I’m collaborating with and in some cases my own subject matter experts, ensuring that every arrow, detail, and highlight connects back to the text in a meaningful way.
Accuracy is paramount. I triple-check every file to guarantee that the final work is precise, with no hidden or overlooked details. In legal contexts, this attention to detail is crucial, especially when the stakes involve shaping the future of policy.
Illustrating complex concepts with clarity and precision.
Whether for a magazine article or a step-by-step guide, my goal is to make the inner workings of firearms understandable to all. I’m known for my high-detail technical illustrations that break down firearms, accessories, and processes functionally. From editorial illustrations that simplify complex topics for broad audiences to instructional guides that teach users exactly how a system works, I deliver visuals that are both educational and easy to follow.
Unlike engineering teams that create instruction manuals from a place of assumed knowledge, I approach each project with fresh eyes, ensuring that all gaps are properly addressed and explained.
My goal is to make sure that no step or detail is taken for granted, so users or readers can fully understand what they’re seeing even if they’re new to the subject. Whether I’m helping Recoil readers grasp technical firearm mechanics or creating instructionals for accessories, I ensure that the illustrations complement and enhance the written material, providing complete clarity.
I follow the same process for both editorial and instructional work starting with rough sketches, refining with feedback, and finalizing with high accuracy and clear design elements that support both written content and visual comprehension. These illustrations are designed to be both informative and visually engaging, so users can quickly understand and apply the information.
Accuracy is non-negotiable, I triple-check every detail, ensuring that each part, mechanism, and system is accurately represented. Whether you need editorial illustrations to educate your audience or instructional guides to empower end-users, my work can provide the clarity and precision necessary for effective communication.
