Since I was a kid pouring over my worn copies of LotR, I’ve loved maps & dreamt about having a world of my own with a map to bring it to life. twitter.com/PowerWordFYou helped make that dream a reality. Introducing the official map for The Unified Kingdom of Alçon.

From Valenhi to Estemark, every detail I imagined and more is brought to life. Karolina was amazing to work with and brought so much life and beauty to this piece. I can’t wait to explore every part of it in our upcoming adventures. - Andrew

We were recently approached by instagram.com/projectzeroes with a concept to redesign our brand. Some opportunities are just too good to pass up. We’re very proud and excited to be debuting the new look and logo for The First Watch!

The watchful gaze of an owl is combined with the outline of a dragon and the ready protection of a bow and arrow. It’s the perfect First Watch and we are thrilled with the elegance and ferocity of the final design.

JD with Project Zeroes did incredible work on this logo and identity. All throughout the process we felt seen and understood at a brand level like we never had before. I highly recommend you work with him.
