When Square/Enix decided to release the original three Hitman video games in High Definition, instead of just using a plastic clamshell case, they opted to package the games in a hardbound art book featuring 23 artists' interpretations of the classic series.
I was tasked with the Anathema mission, in which Agent 47 must rescue his friend from a mafia Don with a penchant for golfing. Each artist was also required to submit an artist's statement to accompany their work. Mine read:
"Since my work references the iconography of video games, doing a tribute to the Hitman series was a perfect fit. I imagined what the Anathema mission might look like as an action-adventure side scroller in the 8-bit era and then created several layers to construct a narrative element. Showing Agent 47 use the golf club to kill Don Guillani also underscores the personal nature of this mission; it requires more violence and effort to kill with than a gun, and the irony of killing the Don with the object of his favorite pastime is particularly vengeful."

For the upcoming Philadelphia Science Festival, I worked again with the Franklin Institute to come up with a solution that was both fun and educational. This year's theme was the Scientific Method; the challenge here was coming up with a concept that depicted the various steps and processes but was appealling to kids. The solution I came up with was to use a robot as a metaphor for the processes, each part of his large mechanical body acting out one of the steps.
