Client:

Smith & Wesson, in conjunction with 540 Brands

Description:

I was thrilled to be hired to create artwork for a new line of apparel for Smith & Wesson, featuring silk-screen illustrations of big angry eagles. It was a really fun challenge drawing the eagles, which I’ve always found difficult. Need to invest in a pet eagle for reference. The designs all needed to stay under six colors, which is always a challenge as soon as you introduce an american flag into the design (which eats up three colors right away). I used halftones wherever I could to limit the total number of colors.


Client:

Revco

Description:

Revco, a welding apparel and supply company hired me to illustrate a new t-shirt for their catalog with the America cranked up to 11. Waving flag. Check. Giant screaming eagle. Check. The shirt was printed direct-to-garment, so I could really unleash the colors. Really happy with how this turned out, even though I struggled a bit at first to get the eagle right.
