Client:
Coconut Joe’s Sun-care Products

Description:
Coconut Joe’s hired me to update their branding, and create this colorful, beach-themed t-shirt design to promote their line of natural sun-care products.
After we redesigned their logo, we conceptualized a few different beach t-shirt designs before moving forward with this illustration focusing on a sea turtle swimming in a reef. The client wanted a fun, light-hearted look that they could take to conventions and sell in their shops.

I had fun creating this Mt. Olympus themed Russ Logo. 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.

Description:
Weird and fun commission poster I illustrated of a Venus Fly Trap emerging from a toilet in a decrepit bathroom chomping on a guitar.
The artwork was done on request for a private collector who packed this piece with symbolism that probably only makes sense to him, haha. But sometimes, that can be the most fun, to just draw and explore, and not be so pinned down to reality. This was created completely in Manga Studio, and I published a live digital painting demonstration on YouTube as I worked.

Client:
Activision, Call of Duty

Description:
I was hired to create a series of illustrations for Activision’s Call of Duty Zombies video game used during a promotional campaign they ran on social media during the game’s launch.
One of my favorite projects ever, for a series I’ve been a huge fan of. The clients wanted their different iconic zombie characters in their new 80s themed zombie shooter illustrated using my style, which was hugely flattering. Each illustration was used on Activision’s social media during the countdown to the release of the game. The illustrations were drawn in a way to encourage fans of the game to insert their photos behind the zombies so it appeared like they were being attacked.

I was lucky to work with Violet Beuachamp, a super gifted instrumental guitarist on a t-shirt for her newest album Black Widow.
We took imagery from her latest music video, which featured a classic 1950’s hearse, and clock tower. We only had a few colors to work with, so it was a challenge to draw so many different subjects in the same composition without relying on full color.

This is easily one of my favorite album covers I’ve ever been apart of. So much fun. A throwback to the massive detail and destruction in the album covers I was raised on by Iron Maiden, Megadeth, and the like.

Description:
This was a fun illustration I created for a client for their apparel brand that caters to military families. The design, Military Brats, depicts the children of Navy, Marines, Army, and Airforce soldiers emerging from a moving box on a base, coping with the uncertain life of constant upheaval from base to base.

It was a fun challenge to depict each child in a way that captures the aspects of each particular branch of the military.

Description:
Album cover called “Turn People Into Food” I illustrated for the heavy metal band Crusty Old Toad featuring the first giant toad monk holding a plate of body parts that I’ve ever drawn!
The band and I didn’t take the art too seriously – we wanted something dark but still funny and absurd. I had more fun drawing the uppity aristocrat characters puking their guts out than anything else I think. Check out their music:

Beach Shrimp Festival T-Shirt Design

Client:
Model Tees

Fun limited color silkscreen t-shirt I created for a Shrimp Gumbo festival in Alabama featuring a handsome shrimp serenading a beautiful shrimps and the rest of the beach-goers.
The design was a fun challenge because the client liked my colorful full-color beach designs, and wanted something similar. But we could only use a limited silk-screen palette. I used halftones to cheat on some colors. We chose to draw the scene at night to make it unique to the previous year’s designs.

Evil Fish and Lure T-Shirt Design

Illustration I created for a new apparel line showcasing the lures by Rapala for fisherman.  The brand wanted something really edgy and dark, so we gave the fish a pretty menacing look.  It’s always a fun challenge taking on a detailed scene like this when limited to a smaller silk-screen palette.  This design was set up with halftones.

Marvel

Description:

Talk about a dream job!  I was fortunate enough to be hired to create an officially licensed t-shirt of Marvel superheroes to be sold in retail outlets.

The project was an immense challenge, as I tried to incorporate my style into the design, while also making sure to not deviate too much from the art direction from Marvel (which there was quite a lot of!).  This was designed in full color, to be separated later for simulated process.  Overall, I’m very pleased with how the design turned out, and awestruck that I had this opportunity.

I was a Cub Scout long ago, so it was a lot of fun to leave a little mark on the organization.
