A Jay Goes Nuts is a graphic narrative poem that takes a lighthearted look at the bonds we forge with the creatures around us and how we may sometimes let our imaginations run wild. Aaron Riensche, my brother, wrote the story. I created the illustrations and book design, including storyboarding, 3D environments (used as reference), and character design.
