graphic designer — tutor & collaborator, ongoing, remote
We’re looking for a senior designer to be both a 1-on-1 tutor (~1 hr/week teaching Illustrator at $50/hr) and an ongoing collaborator on paid project work ($50/hr.) — primarily screen output: graphics for characters and robots, posters, fictional corporate marks for in-world factions, UI overlays, some web.
The aesthetic we work in:
Designers Republic / Wipeout-era — fictional corporate identities, technical readouts, registration marks, dense info layouts, the "this UI belongs to a future company" feeling. Reference points: tDR, Kosuke Kawamura, Cold War Steve, the whole Wipeout/F-Zero universe.
Esoteric / theory-fiction diagrams — CCRU and Nick Land-adjacent publications, alchemical and Kabbalistic plates, occult schematics, network diagrams that read as both technical and ritual. Black backgrounds, white-line illustration, collage of historical engravings.
Sci-fi character + product framing — Ash Thorp, Maciej Kuciara, the editorial overlays that turn a 3D render into a fictional ad or recruitment poster.
Required: senior-level Illustrator chops. Ideal: Substance Designer / Painter, or any Unreal Engine experience, you are a fine artist and/or have experience with speculative/theoretical branding.
Our projects tend to be very slow paced, but are also pretty richly detailed and artistic; some examples. Below are our primary visual references for this brief (other aritsts’ work):
