Looking for a summer intern and eating free donuts at the #southhills career fair New Artwork From Instagram
This design is meant to subtly resemble a yin and yang, as the grim reaper reaches out to a woman emerging from a swirling portal to hell. I had a great time working with the creative people behind the music on this album, and I’m really happy with how this turned out.⠀https://soundcloud.com/weedenforcer⠀#art #illustration #albumcover #grimreaper #freelance #FlylandDesigns New Artwork From Instagram

Violet Beuachamp
Description:
I was lucky to work with Violet Beuachamp, a super gifted instrumental guitarist on a t-shirt for her newest album Black Widow.
We took imagery from her latest music video, which featured a classic 1950’s hearse, and clock tower. We only had a few colors to work with, so it was a challenge to draw so many different subjects in the same composition without relying on full color.
Detail of a t-shirt I illustrated with a Pentel Brush Pen on paper and colored digitally with Manga Studio. I’ve got a process video coming out of this as well. One of my favorite designs of the year, no question.⠀#art #illustration #tshirt #chemdawg #marijuana #weed #freelance #FlylandDesigns New Artwork From Instagram

Relentless Mods
Description:
I was hired to create the logo and t-shirt design for Relentless Mods, a company that creates hand-made vaping accessories. The brand wanted me to take their custom tips and bring them to life by transforming them into little monsters.
Here’s another #blacklight #acrylic #painting I created recently of a #creature with a bunch of eyes. I almost never work with real life materials, and I had this huge box of blacklight paints left over from a mural job I did, so I thought it would be fun to mess around a bit. Pretty happy with how these turned out. I’m selling the originals in my shop if you’re interested. New Artwork From Instagram

Pirate Polos
Description:
I created this pirate mascot logo design for a brand looking for something colorful and bold for an apparel brand.
We went through a few different looks and styles on the pirate, and decided on going with a look that wasn’t too serious.

Neverdawn
Description:
Insane werewolf creature wrecking havoc in the oval office – Not a political statement, just something I drew last year for the band Neverdawn for their new album cover.
This is easily one of my favorite album covers I’ve ever been apart of. So much fun. A throwback to the massive detail and destruction in the album covers I was raised on by Iron Maiden, Megadeth, and the like.

Description:
This was a fun illustration I created for a client for their apparel brand that caters to military families. The design, Military Brats, depicts the children of Navy, Marines, Army, and Airforce soldiers emerging from a moving box on a base, coping with the uncertain life of constant upheaval from base to base.
It was a fun challenge to depict each child in a way that captures the aspects of each particular branch of the military.
Hey guys, I’m trying to peddle these original #blacklight #paintings I created on 16″ x 20″ canvas. This one’s a #skull – looks insanely bright under the blacklight. Asking $149 each.

My friend’s at Half Time Brewing Company recently hired me to illustrate this detailed single-color t-shirt design for a huge beer festival they were attending featuring two drunk pirates floating in a growler bottle on the open sea. The shirt was a huge hit, and we were all really happy with how it turned out.

Client:
American Food Avenue
Description:
Here’s a t-shirt I illustrated for a grocery store chain in Switzerland that specializes in American food, featuring whimsical animal characters coming out of the store loaded with great American trashy foods.
The great Steve Nazar (T&C Surf) had designed their characters previously, so it was a lot of fun to pick up where he left off and create some new characters inspired by that style.
This fine piece of #artwork was made by the insanely talented #KennyPoppins. I can spend hours pouring over this guy’s work – and he’s such a friendly dude, too. Go follow his work!⠀I was honored to find that he has been using my #ClipStudioPaint #brushes that I sell on my website. Here is a bit of what he had to say about them:⠀“These brushes work magnificently and look even better! These brushes are now my primary painting and #drawing tools.” – Kenny Poppins New Artwork From Instagram
#blacklight paintings of a #skull, monster, and #tiki head I created. They are 16″ x 20″ on campus. I’m trying to sell them for $149 each in my shop. Message me if interested. #art New Artwork From Instagram

Completely awesome. I’m really happy with the way this turned out!
Description:
Album cover called “Turn People Into Food” I illustrated for the heavy metal band Crusty Old Toad featuring the first giant toad monk holding a plate of body parts that I’ve ever drawn!
The band and I didn’t take the art too seriously – we wanted something dark but still funny and absurd. I had more fun drawing the uppity aristocrat characters puking their guts out than anything else I think. Check out their music:

Young-adult fantasy book cover I illustrated for author Charon Dunn, featuring a collection of steam-punk inspired dystopian characters. The cover illustration shows the heroes making an escape as their ship is attacked by a fleet of mechanized mutant jelly-fish. ⠀#art #illustration #book #cover #sci-fi #freelance #FlylandDesigns New Artwork From Instagram
I was hired to design this logo of Zeus among two ordinary mortals in togas 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.⠀#art #illustration #russ #logo #freelance #FlylandDesigns New Artwork From Instagram

Beach Shrimp Festival T-Shirt Design
Client:
Model Tees
Fun limited color silkscreen t-shirt I created for a Shrimp Gumbo festival in Alabama featuring a handsome shrimp serenading a beautiful shrimps and the rest of the beach-goers.
The design was a fun challenge because the client liked my colorful full-color beach designs, and wanted something similar. But we could only use a limited silk-screen palette. I used halftones to cheat on some colors. We chose to draw the scene at night to make it unique to the previous year’s designs.
Just uploaded a new video of me inking this album cover on paper check it out on my YouTube channel #art #skull #ink New Artwork From Instagram

Wacom Cintiq Pro 24″ ReviewSeptember 1, 2023 - 12:30 pmProfessional Illustrator Brian Allen reviews the new Wacom Cintiq Pro 24″ (non-touch). I have been using the new Wacom Cintiq Pro 24″ extensively since early April 2018 and I love it! I upgraded from the Wacom Cintiq 24HD, which I used for over 6 years. I had high expectations for this digital drawing tablet and […]
