Roughneck Oil Rig Skeletons
Client:
American Oil Apparel
Description:
Illustration of a couple of hard-working roughneck skeletons pumping oil in the Bakken oil fields. The client wanted a huge grinning demon in the clouds, reminiscent of some of the Iron Maiden album covers I’ve always been a fan of.
Plates on Fire Logo Design
Client:
Plates of Fire
Description:
There’s a cooking-face-off show called Plates on Fire that I recently got to design the logo for. They really liked a previous fire-fighter leprechaun I had designed, and we based their character off of that. I set up the design for silk-screening for their upcoming marketing campaign.
Cabella’s T-Shirt Designs
Client:
Club Red
Description:
Series of illustrations I created for a submission to Cabella’s – the snake and guns design was picked and will be available in the stores soon. It’s always a challenge for me to draw something realistic like this snake while only using a few colors (for silk-screening). Happy with how it turned out.
Take A Break Clothing T-Shirt Designs
Bass fishing illustrations I created for Take A Break clothing. We wanted to take a sort of harder, more stylized and graphic edge to these designs, in contrast to the hyper-realistic renderings out there. These were separated for silk-screen by the client – I took care to use only a limited number of colors in the design to make that easier. I have a couple in my closet – they turned out great.
Hulk Hogan vs. Andre The Giant T-Shirts
Client:
Hulk Hogan
Description:
Super humbling to be able to work for one of my childhood heroes, Hulk Hogan. They hired me to create a series of tribute illustrations to the late Andre the Giant commemorating their famous face-off. Very easy guy to work with, and tons of fun, BROTHER!
Halloween Horror Gig Poster
Client:
Nightmare On Chicago Street
Description:
Very pleased to have worked on this gig poster for the Nightmare on Chicago Street 2017 concert! So happy with how this turned out – it was extremely challenging for me. Four blocks of the town are shut down and filled with zombies, macabre props, and four stages for bands. It is so much fun. They even invited me to the event to sell my artwork, which I gladly accepted!
Hip Hop Child Gangster Rappers
Hip hop gangster rappers as children who are tattooed and ready to party. 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.

Devil Fire Department Logo
Client:
FDNY
Description:
I’ve been asked to design a fair number of logos for fire departments, but this is by far my favorite. I drew this intense devil holding a hose and tools coming out of a Maltese cross for a fire station in NY.
Discraft Disc Golf Illustrations
Client:
Discraft
Description:
One of my favorite recent projects involved creating a series of labels for these disc golf frisbees by Discraft for their Halloween catalog. We took their famous Bee mascot, and drew him in the likeness of famous movie monsters, like Leatherface and Jason from Friday the 13th. We also created a one-color foil version too.
