A black background with a faint white grid overlaid on it. On the background is a grainy, scribbly illustration of a blue/pink/green plane, light shining down from it. In the middle of this top plane is a translucent blue arch with an infinity symbol in it. Below is a greenish-yellow grainy dome, with a glowing yellowish blob on it. It has root-like greenish structures coming off the bottom, and a faint blue ripple beneath it. There is a moon and a sun overlaid on the dome, and the space between the top plane and the dome is surrounded with a white box. A line descends from the box to the bottom half of the image, where it splits into a bunch of roots/branches. On the left side of the image starting about halfway down, there are four grainy rectangular images stacked vertically, including an inverted cityscape, some kind of landscape, a picture of some clustered dots that look a bit like cells, and a Mesopotamian seal.

Shinji Kimura's great Snake HQ designs owe something to Leb Woods' vision of "The New City" with all its weird-o alien geometries. HQ is topped off by a globe with a spinning interior (why—because it's cool?). I made 3d model to animate BG and guide BG layouts

The cover of a black and white zine on a green textured paper background. In the background are carabiners, a headlamp, a journal, rope, and a map. The cover of the zine has the title Underneath and a large etching style illustration of a narrow cave chamber. A natural fountain springs up from the rock floor. Statues of dragons and lions and weird dogs all spit water across the chamber into each other's mouths intersecting with the single stream of water erupting from the natural fountain.

The cover of the game zine We Shall Be Monsters. The title is in an embellished black letter font in white over a black background with a low contrast image of a doctor standing over a dead body on a slab. The zine is displayed on textured paper with a silk handkerchief and a small saw next to it.
