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 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.

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.

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.
