My new friend at Happy Valley Custom, Andrew Marzka was kind enough to show me some silk screening tricks in his shop – along with the most impressive Star Wars toy collection the world had ever known. Every inch of the walls is covered with hundreds of these toys. So awesome#silkscreen #starwars #happyvalleycustom Work in progress from the desk of illustrator Brian Allen

I designed and illustrated this angry gargoyle busting out of its stone skin for a line of ATV and sled wraps put out by 393 Components. It was a challenge to position everything and design it in a way to make the design look interesting on as many different vehicle types and shapes as possible. I kept all the elements in layers so that the design could be modified if necessary to fit different wraps. I needed to make it look as different as possible from a previous gargoyle design I had done, so I came up with the idea of having the gargoyle a green-skinned creature bursting from stone, as if it was coming to life.It was really cool to be working with graphic decals again for ATVs, because my first full-time position as an artist was at a custom decal shop called XGX Racing.This design is available for licensing for uses other than vehcicle graphics – message me if interested Work in progress from the desk of illustrator Brian Allen

I was hired to design this angel and devil logo for apparel and a vehicle wrap for the russefeiring tradition. If you haven’t heard of it, basically russefeiring involves an entire class of Norwegian students renting a bus (a Russebuss), painting every inch of it with really cool street art, and then partying in it night and day for an entire month during graduation. The different classes wear their designs ever where they go as they clash with rival classes. I’ve done a bunch of these now, and really enjoy it.

Worked on a design with pretty different subject matter for me. Sometimes I have trouble blending a line-art style with things that are meant to be realistic.
