The Lost Arcade Logo Type Design
Client:
The Lost Arcade

Fun text design I created for The Lost Arcade, a website specializing in retro arcade games.We wanted something that looked hand-drawn, and looked like it could be printed on the cabinet of an old game.
Universal Game Illustration
Client:
Cryptivo Games
Description:
One of my favorite projects from last year: a t-shirt illustration for Cryptivo Games’ hit The Universim, a really cool world building game.If you’ve ever played the game before, you’ll recognize these cute little spherical people that are the inhabitants of the world you build.It was challenging to give the characters emotion and energy without using mouths (not to mention feet!).The illustration was used for a t-shirt and poster for the Gamescom conference.

Description:
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.
Dogs At Cinnamon’s Bar T-shirt
Client:
Cinnamon’s Bar
Description:
Illustration of a bunch of misbehaving dogs chilling I created for Cinnamon’s Bar in Delaware.It was really challenging cramming a huge list of dog breeds and characters into this piece, all while keeping to a limited color scheme so it could be silk-screened.Very happy with how it turned out though.

Ancient Future
Description:

Fire-fighter Leprechaun Cyborg St. Patrick’s Day T-Shirt
Copyright © 2016 by Brian Allen
Cyborg Leprechaun fire-fighter I created for a St. Patrick’s day t-shirt template I illustrated for fire departments and t-shirt shops to license to celebrate their Irish Pride!
I try to design one of these each year, and I had a lot of fun with this one, trying to approach it differently by making the Leprechaun into a cyborg.From the future?Only time will tell.

Character designs for Adam Bravery Series
Client:
Adam Bravery
Description:
Character designs I illustrated to fit into an existing library of art for an animated series pitch called Adam Bravery.It was fun and challenging to work with a simpler, flatter coloring and lineart style (to make it easier to animate).Can’t wait to see these characters come to life!
