Ivan’s Stress Free Bar
Description:
Logo design I created for a beach bar resort in the Caribbean featuring a caricature of the resort’s owner, Ivan.
This is exactly the kind of logo I really enjoy working with: lots of colors and details.
Description:
I was hired to design this logo inspired by the Norwegian television show Olsenbanden for apparel and a vehicle wrap for the russefeiring tradition. I had to illustrate caricatures of each of the three iconic characters from the show. If you haven’t heard of Russ, 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.

Client:
M.A.S. Productions
Description:
I illustrated this dark detailed illustration of an epic battle between Freddy, Leatherface, Nosferatu, The Excorsist, Frankenstein, Kirk Hammet, Ozzy, Alice Cooper, Corey Taylor, and more for a documentary on the history of Metal and Horror.
I was hired by Producer Mike Schiff of M.A.S. Productions to create an illustration of some of the most iconic figures in horror and heavy metal engaging in an epic battle. The image was used to promote a documentary they produced which explores the history of heavy metal music, horror films, and how the two genres have merged together over time.
The documentary features interviews with Alice Cooper, Kirk Hammett, Corey Taylor, plus a ton of other heavy metal stars, along with huge names in the horror industry. It was so great getting the chance to illustrate these iconic figures, including Freddy, Leatherface, Nosferatu, Ozzy, Alice Cooper, Kirk Hammet, and more. Pieces of the illustration were also used for an animation promoting the documentary.
Client Testimonial:
