PROJECT:

I was commissioned by American Pinball to draw all the artwork (Playfield, Plastics, Backglass, Side Blades, Apron, Coindoor, Topper and Cabinet Artwork) for the new Ringmaster edition of the classic Cirqus Voltaire pinball machine.

All hand-drawn artwork by a real human. No Ai-generated nonsense, or Photoshop filtered clip-art or paint-overs used here.

Playfield Design

The entire Playfield for the Cirqus Voltaire Ringmaster was completely redrawn from the ground-up. We kept some layout elements the same that were pertinent to gameplay, but I added many more characters to give the playfield more life and detail. This is the most elaborate playfield I’ve every created, in terms of number of characters and objects. I also had to recreate all of the insert borders and text from scratch.
