The Pacific

July 28, 2017/0 Comments/in Recent Artwork /by Brian Allen

I had fun creating a Russ Logo based on the Pacific War. The design was 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.

Coconut Joes Sunscreen T-Shirt and Branding

Client:
Coconut Joe’s Sun-care Products

Description:
Coconut Joe’s hired me to update their branding, and create this colorful, beach-themed t-shirt design to promote their line of natural sun-care products.
After we redesigned their logo, we conceptualized a few different beach t-shirt designs before moving forward with this illustration focusing on a sea turtle swimming in a reef. The client wanted a fun, light-hearted look that they could take to conventions and sell in their shops.

Here's the finished #poster I was commissioned to design for the new #documentary about the #Phyrst bar in #StateCollege, Pennsylvania by #BlueWhiteTV. The client wanted a crazy vintage #60's color scheme to set the tone for the theme so I went with lots of yellows and purples. Awesome to be a part of this production! If you want a t-shirt, they are taking orders until 3PM EST today.⠀Illustrated by Brian Allen, FlylandDesigns.com⠀#gigposter #tshirt #mangastudio #photoshop #illustration #art #instaart #instaartist New Artwork From Instagram

Black and White Ink Illustrations for Novel

July 25, 2017/0 Comments/in News /by Brian Allen

Client:
Bennett Wilson

Description:
Illustrations for a novel I created in a shorthand style that was very different for me, using black and white ink and watercolor wash.
The book was an adventure story for young adults, and the author needed many small black and white illustrations that could carry the story along and set the scenes. I had a lot of fun with this style, as it let me be looser and create the illustrations more quickly.

Client Testimonial:
Your work has been great. I’m really pleased.

I illustrated this #mascot for a new #trucking #apparel brand called #BigAssDiesel. We thought it would be cool to make the Donkey part machine with glowing eyes. I created this as a vector graphic in #Adobe Illustrator so we could blow this thing up on the side of some of their trucks. ⠀#mangastudio #photoshop #illustration #tshirt #art #instaart #instaartist #picoftheday #igdaily #followme New Artwork From Instagram

#Van’sGeneralStore in NYC hired me to create this insane #illustration of a crazy #tattooed #shark riding a bike through the city. This was designed for a set of jackets as promotional gifts for the employees – the illustration is packed with symbols that represent different aspects of all their personalities.

Venus Fly Trap Eating Guitar Poster

Client:
George Murray

Description:
Weird and fun commission poster I illustrated of a Venus Fly Trap emerging from a toilet in a decrepit bathroom chomping on a guitar.
The artwork was done on request for a private collector who packed this piece with symbolism that probably only makes sense to him, haha. But sometimes, that can be the most fun, to just draw and explore, and not be so pinned down to reality. This was created completely in Manga Studio, and I published a live digital painting demonstration on YouTube as I worked.

#License my #art as a #tattoo, it will change your life! A lot of fine people have been getting my #artwork tattooed on their bodies, and man, what a huge compliment that is! But a lot of the images they've been using as reference were low-resolution, which doesn't always produce the best result. SO – I've set up a product in my shop that will grant you permission to tattoo my artwork for a small $35 USD fee – I'll also send a high-res version of the artwork so that the tattoo will look as sweet as possible. I shamelessly stole this idea from two fantastic artists, Absorb 81 and Chris Ryniak https://www.flylanddesigns.com/shop/⠀#tattoo #flash #lineart #art New Artwork From Instagram
