ABOUT
THE WORK
These illustrations include my designs for the appearances of
Infinite Jest characters. I strive for book accuracy while also
making some personal choices that deviate from the text (blonde
Pemulis, long-haired J.O.I., etc.). However, if you think I have
made a mistake with one of the characters, send me a message!
Hal Incandenza, Don Gately, and Bobby C.
Hal and Michael Pemulis.
Ortho Stice!!!
Poor Tony Krause.
Matty and Michael Pemulis.
James Orin Incandenza and Joelle Van Dyne.
Yes, the way I draw JOI does look like DFW!
F.A.Q.
CAN I USE YOUR ART AS AN ICON ONLINE?
Yes, of course!
CAN I PRINT YOUR ART?
I have poster-size prints for sale! If there is something missing
that you would like, let me know, and I will add it. You can do as
you wish with my art for personal use.
WILL YOU DRAW ___?
Hopefully! I am open to requests, feel free to share your ideas
and if you have thoughts on a character's appearance.
WHO IS THE BEST CHARACTER IN I.J.?
Ted Schacht. Kertwang!
