Here was the final #psychedelicart #skull monk dude with colors added. Really happy with how this turned out. Any feedback is always welcome and appreciated. Does the color scheme work? #art #mangastudio #clipstudiopaint #illustration #tshirtdesign #freelance
Bad-to-the-bone skeleton oil field workers- embrace your inner roughneck.
New line of e-juice from @adrenalinevapors.co that I illustrated the labels for, featuring a has-been 80’s headbanger screaming into his microphone and dropping his gut. #vapingart #mascot #characterdesign #clipstudiopaint #mangastudio #illustration #hire
I’m really happy to report that our first #DrinkandDraw in State College for local artists was a success! We had 20 artists emerge from their caves and socialize, draw, and drink! Thank you everyone who came out and helped promote the event. We’re excited about making this a regular thing, and expanding it. #champssportsgrill #drinkanddrawsc […]
A fantastically gross repeating pattern featuring eyes and teeth. It was difficult to work out a design that would repeat seamlessly, but I’m happy with how it turned out!
Custom #TShirtdesign I created for the #HotRod Power Tour #KansasCity 2017. Always a fun challenge to draw cars, which can be very hard to get right. I had to us a lot of reference photos for this one to get the details of the models just right (or close enough anyway). #art #mangastudio #clipstudiopaint #illustration […]
Very excited for the #drinkanddraw event for local artists of State College PA tonight from 7 to 9 at Champs sports grill. See you there!!

Here’s my finished @donniedarko_movie #fanart piece – I wanted to try to keep the color scheme really limited, and the lineart solid so I could silk-screen it someday. Would anyone be interested in that? #art #mangastudio #clipstudiopaint #illustration #tshirtdesign #freelance #hire
#Fanart piece I was working on for one of my favorite #sci-fi movies of all time, @donniedarkofilm . Decided to draw this on good old fashioned paper (had some liying around). #sketch #wip #pencildrawing #concept #illustration #freelanceart
A veritable smorgasborg of cartoon characters, and in true Flyland Design style: zombified!
Really excited to finally share this series of illustrations I did for the University of Georgia and Chick-Fil-A for a pop-up restaurant and nationally televised commercial we created last year for the Georgia v. Auburn game. More to come on this! #georgiafootball #georgiabulldogs #chickfila #rivalrestaurant #mascotdesign
Took a shot at drawing some classic #SilverSurfer #fanart – sort of happy with this. I think I screwed up the legs and abdomen a bit. Any suggestions? #art #mangastudio #clipstudiopaint #illustration #hire #marvel #freelance
Wanted to share these final product shots of the #motorcyclehelmet I designed for #blazeartworks – so happy with how it turned out. Seriously challenging illustrating something that could #vinylwrap around an object like this. #art #mangastudio #clipstudiopaint #illustration #freelance #hire
I’m so thrilled to announce that I won a Gold award at the Central Pennsylvania Creative Professionals Bracket Awards this weekend!

I’m so honored to be recognized, and thankful […]
Beach bum friendly t-shirt template I designed – available for licensing and ready for you customization!
Illustration I created of a Norwegian legend, depicting a big hairy troll behind a dark warlock in the woods stirring a cauldron. I had a lot of fun with this – I tried to give it a rougher look by skipping the ink stage, and coloring over my pencils. Happy with the result.
Insane lab rat mascot I created for the cool people at @premiumejuiceusa for their new rebranding campaign.The design is inspired a bit by the classic Rat Fink character, only this time with science. Drawn in manga studio 5. #mascot #characterdesign #clipstudiopaint #mangastudio #illustration #hire
Digital #sketch I was working on last year for a lab rat mascot for a #vaping company – inspired by #ratfink (duh) #mascot #character-design #clipstudiopaint #mangastudio #illustration #hire
Detailed illustration of Poseidon, my favorite of the Greek Gods I created in Clip Studio Paint. Hoping to create a whole series of these.

Here’s a really fun album cover I was hired to create for @mcsnax of a blue-collar slob rolling up his sleeves (metaphor) and taking on the #apocalypse #art #mangastudio #clipstudiopaint #illustration #albumcover #freelance #hire
Happy to share this reimagining of the Auburn University Tiger for Chick-Fil-A – they hired me to create a series of enormous illustrations for a pop-up Chick-Fil-A restaurant during the Auburn v. Georgia game last year, which was featured in a nationally televised commercial! It was such a challenging project, but I’m so happy with […]

Exploratory poster illustration I created in a psychedelic style I’m experimenting with of an old wise dude meditating the planets into existence in outer space – and for some reason: tentacles. Lots and lots of tentacles.
T-shirt illustration I created for Great Lakes Graphics featuring a #dive bar home to shady looking sharks, slutty mermaids, and deep-sea diving gorillas.The design is black and white on the shirt until the wearer goes out into the sun, and the colors are revealed! #art #mangastudio #clipstudiopaint #illustration #tshirtdesign #freelance #hire #beachart

Illustration I created in a vintage style of a snake oil salesman for the Charlatan Russ group. I tried to hold back on the color and create it with a bit of a woodblock ink style.

Tribute illustration I created last year to the heavy metal legends #Lemmy, #CliffBurton, #RonnieJamesDio, and #BonScott carved into Mount Rushmore (mount Rockmore because we’re clever) for @listenable_records new sampler #albumcover. #art #mangastudio #clipstudiopaint #illustration #tshirtdesign #freelance #hire
I’m nearly finished creating a thrid set of brushes for @clipstudiopaint – are there any brushes that you’d like to see? Anything missing from my other sets? This set will focus a lot on repeating patterns and design elements. Thanks! #mangastudio5 #clipstudiopaint #brushes
Inking a #Watchmen #fanart piece – as a kid, this was the first graphic novel I ever read, and I still go back and flip through it every couple years. Masterpiece. #sketch #wip #pencildrawing #concept #illustration #freelanceartist #hire
Fun tribute to Mario, Luigi, Wario, and Waluigi I got to work on for a Russ bus group in Norway. I tried to add my style to them and tweak them up a bit, as if they’d gotten a little too liberal with the mushrooms.
This was a really fun, trippy, and detailed illustration I created for @wazshop_ of a mechanical elephant and owl for a line of all-over print apparelto be sold at festivals and concerts. #hire #tshirtdesign #tapestry #owltattoo #psychedelicart
I was hired by a fabric pot manufacturer called @grassrootsfabricpots for growing plants to create a t-shirt for their conventions featuring this hipster #bear #characterdesign we came up with, holding one of their fabric pots. They wanted something that displayed their product in a way that people would want to wear, even if they weren’t […]
I’ve had the new #wacom #Cintiq Pro 24″ for a few weeks now, and I absolutely love it. Best #digitalart tool I’ve ever used. I put together a #review of it here: www.flylanddesigns.com/Wacom-cintiq-Pro-24-review
Russ logo I created for the group Araca based on a popular tv puppet kids show in Norway called flåklypa. Always fun to take lovable characters and twist them a bit. Pleasure working with these guys.
The new Wacom Cintiq Pro 24″ (non-touch) is the perfect tablet for digital artists. About the Cintiq Pro I have been using the Wacom Cintiq Pro 24″ extensively since early April 2018, and I absolutely love it. I’m upgrading from the Wacom Cintiq 24HD, which has severed me well for over six years (and is […]

So flattered and humbled to announce that my artwork made the cover of #Gnarlymagazine, a magazine FILLED with tons of amazingly talented artists (and now me!). They even devoted three spreads to my artwork and interviewed me! I work constantly at this, and sometimes it can be a bit of a frantic frenzy. It’s really […]
I’ve had a bunch of people ask for this new design I created on a print (thank you!) so I just ordered a series and put it up in my shop. Thanks for all the positive support – very happy with the piece, definitely a direction I want to explore more. #cannabisart #420art #skullart #mangastudio […]
The design was for apparel and a vehicle wrap for the russefeiring tradition.
Happy 420! Here’s the finished Cannabis – Psychedelic exploration image I did for my personal portfolio. Remember that you are one of your most important clients! Make time for your own exploration. Really happy with how this artwork came together – I made a couple signed prints of it – link to my shop in […]
Colors added to this experimental psychedelic design I’m working for my personal portfolio. If you’re unsure on when a piece is complete, just keep adding eyeballs until there are at least 6. Releasing tomorrow! #420art #420artist #mangastudio #clipstudiopaint #wacompro #skullart #psychedelicart #hire
Working on a personal #Cannabis themed artwork for release tomorrow – trying to take out some time to be more experimental. I inked this completely on the iPad Pro, and I’m really pleased with it. #420art #420artist #mangastudio #clipstudiopaint #ipadproart #skullart #psychedelicart #hire
Dropping off some artwork for a gallery show I was humbly invited to at Michael Black Studios during the #GetExposed-2 event this Friday April 20 7-11pm. If you are in the State College, PA area, I’d love to see you out there supporting some great local talent (and me!).
Grab the signed art print if you dig this – link in the bio. I’m making an effort to put more time into my own personal artwork and development between freelance gigs – here’s one of the first results this year. Super pumped about some of the ideas I’ve got on the backburner. #aztecart #marijuanaart […]
Demonic monster illustration with many eyes and horns grins as a city burns behind him.
Album cover I illustrated for @pennyone, inspired by a sort of pulp graphic comic book style that was pretty new for me. I really enjoyed working with Alex (whose likeness is at the computer mixing) – always fun to work with other creatives. #albumcover #pennyone #graphicart #popcomics
One of my favorite illustrations from last year – I did a live drawing video of this on my YouTube channel if you want to check that out. Trying to experiment more with #psychedelicart and really enjoying it #sketch #wip #pencildrawing #concept #illustration #freelanceartist #hire
