Tshirt I designed for hard ride clothing featuring zombies working on a frozen bakken oil field rig. Really proud of how this turned out. Www.flylanddesigns.com Work in progress from the desk of illustrator Brian Allen
here is the sketch I did called Roughneck Zombies for Hard Ride Clothing. Work in progress from the desk of illustrator Brian Allen
Celtic Warriors
T-Shirt illustration I created of a skeleton riding a chopper through flames for the motorcycle club Celtic Warriors. It’s always a pleasure to work on direct-to-garment T-Shirts, because I don’t have to hold back on colors.
Signed art prints of the design will also be auctioned off to support the client’s local police force, of which he is a member.
Cinderella Spa
Custom logo design and mascot design I created for a children’s day spa in New York City, called Cinderella Spa. The client and I created several different character sketches before landing on this girl, showing just the right amount of attitude.
Great Dane Graphics
Cartoon mascot illustration of a tiger playing basketball I created for Great Dane Graphics and their children’s sports line. The graphic will be used for T-Shirts and other products for kids’ sport teams. The client wanted these designs to be fully rendered digital paintings, without lineart, which is not the typical style I work in. I’m happy with how they turned out.

T-Shirt design I created of a mushroom cloud shaped fire skull for Nuke Proof Tools. The image will be used on banners and T-Shirts for the company’s tradeshows and events. The client had seen a mushroom cloud skull design I did years ago, and wanted something similar. It was fun to go back and work on the same concept, and have the chance to make imrpovements.
Explicit Airbrush
T-Shirt design I illustrated of a skeleton with dual airbrushes for the awesome airbrush shop Explicit Airbrush. The client and owner of the shop is an artist himself, so I had a lot of fun as our collective minds grew this illustration. This design is set up for Direct-to-garment printing.
Evolution Media
This is a mascot and logo I designed for the MMA fighter Umaer “THE HONEYBADGER” Haq. Basing the mascot on the fighter’s nickname, I set out to create something that was high contrast and colorful that would be printed on the fighters shorts, used on banners, and on his website.
HOSS
Double-page editorial spread I illustrated for the Canadian DIY magazine HOSS. The magazine features many tv DIY celebrities, and the art director wanted a detailed illustration introducing each of their contributors as caricatures building a house. There were over 18 caricatures that went into this very complex illustration.
The magazine prints over a million copies bi-monthly.
Listenable Records
Iron Maiden, and the artist behind their amazing artwork, Derek Riggs, have always been a huge inspiration for everything that I do. So I was super excited when I was hired by Listenable Records to create an illustration tribute to Iron Maiden’s first album, “Killers,” for an upcomming sampler that would be given out at Iron Maiden concerts in Europe. I tried to cram in as much of my own style as I could.

If you have any specific questions you’d like to ask about it, please feel free to comment here, and I’ll try to address them.
Justin Nicholson
T-Shirt illustration I created of a Pelican on the beach for Mike’s Beach Bar. This was a direct-to-garment design, which I really enjoy, because there’s no limit to how many colors I can use.
This is an illustration I did for an e-book cover for Jim Azevedo's "How to get your band out of the garage". Work in progress from the desk of illustrator Brian Allen
Morbid Industries
I was hired by Morbid Industries to sketch concepts for new horror masks they will be producing and distributing in Halloween stores this season. The sketches will be used by the scultpors as reference to create the masks. This was a really fun project because the art directors gave me a lot of freedom in creating the creatures.

Fit-Out Apparel
T-Shirt illustration I created for my friends at Fit-Out Apparel of a zombie nerd wearing suspenders and learning how to “Get Brain.” I experimented a little with a new style for this piece, and I’m really happy with how it turned out. This design was set up for silk screen, with around 5 colors.
