Axe Play

A logo featuring the text 'AXE PLAY', a circular target with blades, a stylized axe, and two flags representing the Marine Corps and the United States.

In 2019, my parents opened up an axe throwing venue and I got the opportunity to create custom illustrations for their business. They displayed some of my earliest digital illustrations inside their venue and you can literally see my artistic progression as you walk to your axe-throwing lane. It is a great feeling, knowing that your parents are proud of what you are doing. I’d imagine this is the adult version of having your artwork displayed on the fridge after school. Check out Axe Play!
