Client:
Crimshaw Band
Description:
The heavy metal band Crimshaw commissioned me to illustrate each member of the band as classic movie monsters based on their personalities for their new album.
It’s always such a fun challenge to draw the likenesses of people I’ve never met, just based on a few photographs. Luckily, turning them into savage creatures masks any errors.
Client:
Pandora’s Unboxing
Description:
I created this custom YouTube banner of the mythical Pandora’s box for a political channel out of the UK, discussing potential economic and political disasters (fun!).
The client wanted something really dark and mysterious, and hand-illustrated, to differentiate himself from similar channels.
Here’s a shot of the ink drawing of the necronomicon I illustrated for an officially licensed Evil Dead 2 line of apparel. Very pleased with how this turned out, baby!

Pacman late for work. I’ve been drawing a lot more in my sketchbook lately, partly because of the local Drink and Draw I helped organize. I love it! Makes me feel kind of silly for buying a $1000 digital sketchbook (talking about you, iPad Pro). #pacman #art #originalartwork #mangastudio #clipstudiopaint #illustration #tshirtdesign #tshirtart #hireanillustrator #freelanceartist #pentelbrushpen

Darius Walker
Description:
Fantasy children’s book I illustrated for author Darius Walker about a family that rides a magical pirate ship bed into a strange world.
This was probably my favorite children’s book to date, because it’s strange and surreal tone really lended itself perfectly to my quirky illustration style. It’s not often that I can illustrate monsters, robots, and pirates in the same book!
I drew up this friendly creature for my protmotional mailers and sticker packs. Printed them out on some nice parchment-style envelopes I grabbed in my laser printer. Turned out great! the original envelope drawn with a @Pentelbrushpen ! #creatureart #promotionalart #evnelopeart #illustration #art #instaart #instaartist #hire
This is so cool – the folks at Tee Fury are featuring my Godz Gym Godzilla weightlifter parody t-shirt all day today for one day only FOR ONLY $12!!

Client:
Blue Chip Athletics
Description:
Blue Chip Athletics hired me to create this customize-able wrestling singlet apparel template they could offer to their different teams. I set up the design so that the team colors were easily modifiable and could be printed in limited color silk-screen to save cost. They were really thrilled with the result.
I think I forgot to share this: My artwork was featured in a recent issue of CARtoons! @cartoonsmagazine Such a humbling experience, because I’ve been inspired by the artists in that mag for years and years. #carart #magazinecoverart #hotrodart

So stoked to be comissioned for this! #clipstudiopaint #evildead2 #evildeadart #necronomicon #tshirtillustration #posterart
Look Ma! It’s my hand and artwork on the Tee-Vee! Here’s an excerpt of the nationally-televised commercial that my artwork and adorable little raptor claws were in (shown here drawing). I’m so lucky and humbled to be a part of this awesome project. Did anyone see the commercial? It would have aired November 2017. #chickfila #rivalrestuarant #auburntigers #georgiabulldogs #mascotdesign
Just got this skull t-shirt design I created for @takeabreakclothing and it turned out perfect! They did an amazing job printing this thing. It’s always satisfying to see that my attempt at separating colors was helpful. #skullart #fishingart #t-shirtdesign #fishingtshirt #silkscreenart

Client: Chick-Fil-A
Description:
The Award-Winning marketing agency McCann of New York hired me to reinterpret the iconic Auburn and Georgia mascots in my own style for graphics that wrapped a massive Chick-fil-A pop-up restaurant on the Georgia/Alabama state line.
My artwork was featured in a nationally televised television commercial created by Chick-fil-A to showcase the #RivalRestaurant marketing event. Chic-fil-A was so happy with the artwork I created, they printed the artwork on signage, apparel, and giant wooden cut-outs at the event
Check out the Nationally Televised commercial here featuring the artwork:

My new logo! After beating my head against my desk for months trying to refurbish my logo, I reached out to my friend and super talented artist @absorb81 to create this awesome hand-drawn text style for my brand. I then updated the floating island (Fly-Land, get it now?) mark, and here we have our new logo! I really needed something that worked better as a watermark and was more condensed and bold. Craig did an amazing job, thanks buddy. I’m SO EXCITED about where things are headed over here. Each new year brings some crazy new adventure and chance to prove myself. Any thoughts on the new logo? #freelanceart #freelanceartist #logodesign
