Crazy green dog ripping into box

Client:

Mic Sully

Description:

This big green dog character ripping through a box I drew is for a logo design for the distribution service, Box Busters.

The client wanted something over-the-top and in-your-face to appeal to his customer base, who are anything but subtle. I drew a caricature of his pet. The business is cannabis themed, but we had to find creative ways to not exploit that theme too much.

Client Testimonial:

Wow…. phenomenal….I’m stoked

Jack Herer Cup 2018 Cannabis Pos

Client:

Jack Herer Cup

Description:

The Jack Herer Cup is a cannabis rewards event held every year in Las Vegas to honor the “Emperor of Hemp”, the legendary cannabis rights activist himself, Jack Herer. It was a ton of fun to have the privilege to design this year’s poster featuring Jack Herer and Tommy Chong, surrounded by sentient marijuana buds. So excited to be part of this great event in Vegas, and possibly meet the legend Tommy Chong! I hope I did the portrait of Mr. Herer justice – a lot of pressure when dealing with such an important and revered figure!

Description:
Honesty Seeds, a cannabis seed grower, and distributor hired me to create a fun seed character for their new logo to drive their packaging and marketing.
We had a lot of fun exploring different attitudes and poses for the character, and ended up going with something friendly and a bit goofy. I used a traditional font and banner design to give it an organic feel.

Here is another T-Shirt I designed in a series of marijuana strain related illustrations – this one celebrates Grand Daddy Purps, by illustrating him as a purple magical old man wearing suspenders.  Drawn in Manga Studio, and separated for limited color silk-screen using halftones.

Client:

Bongjour

Description:

I illustrated this t-shirt design for Bongjour in conjunction with the popular Chief Greenbud to celebrate his song “It’s 4:20 Somewhere,” a parody of Jimmy Buffet’s tune.  The design was printed as full-color direct to garment.  For this design, I tried a new technique:  instead of inking the design, I just scanned in my pencil drawing (which was done on paper) and colored the piece underneath the pencils.  I’m pretty happy with the result – it gives it a more realistic, and vibrant, and softer feel.

T-Shirt illustration I created of a mutated Chem Dawg with three heads for a marijuana-themed apparel line.  Each shirt in the collection celebrates a different strain.  The client wanted me to illustrate a big crazy mutated, and glowing dog standing in a spilled container of toxic waste.  I thought it would be funny to have each of the three heads to be a different dog breed with a different personality.   More to come in this series! This design was created for direct-to-garment silk-screening.

T-Shirt illustration I created for a marijuana-themed apparel line.  Each shirt in the collection celebrates a different strain.  This was the first design, called “Sour Diesel,” in which we depicted a bunch of Sour Patch Kids hi-jacking a big diesel truck.  I had the idea of putting a melted sour patch kid on the grill of the truck.  More to come in this series!

I was very excited to work on this T-Shirt design because it was so unlike anything I had worked on before. The concept and subject matter, was quite different for me, and I enjoyed the opportunity. The design was also limited to only two colors, which presented its own challenges, and forced me to have to rely on the line-art alone to tell the story. We were very pleased
