My new apparel shop is open on RageOn!  I’m super pumped about this – these guys are the largest dye-sublimation printers around – which means they can print my designs ALL-OVER the whole shirt – covering even the sleeves and right up to the collar.  And the best thing is that all the prints are in full-color, so I can really go nuts with the colors, and not worry about separations.  I’m really excited to have a new medium like this to put my artwork on – and they are also plugging me in to their already huge fanbase.  Please check it out and share a link if you know someone who might dig it.

Here was the write up on their site about the news:

Rage On proudly welcomes The Art of Brian Allen to our growing list of brands! Brian Allen is a successful freelance artist from Pennsylvania whose illustrations explore the concepts of light and dark. His quirky art style involves close attention to detail and a healthy dash of humor no matter how creepy the design. Get ready to plunge into a world that’s as vibrant as it is twisted! You can get all of these sick designs.

T-Shirt parody illustration I created of Kermit and Ms. Piggy hitting hard times, entitled “Pig Pimpin.” This was an illustration I created sometime ago, and I always loved the idea, but the execution was kind of flat. I decided to redraw it, and I’m really glad I did.

Dark Horse Fightwear

Description:

T-Shirt design I created for the MMA apparel company, Dark Horse Apparel, featuring a set of demon and angel wings on the back. I’ve seen T-Shirt designs with wings on the back before that I really liked, so I tried to approach this one by adding my own stylistic input wherever I could. I put most of that into the abstract handling of the “spine” down the back.

This design was set up for silk-screening with 4 colors.

Description:

I was hired by an apparel brand creating a series of T-Shirts featuring the unofficial mascot of Stanford, the Stanford Tree! I was asked to design a tough, rampaging tree stomping on its rival mascots. If you want a drawing challenge, try making a tree look mean. It’s not easy! Trees are usually pretty pleasant.

Description:

Custom T-Shirt illustration of a zombie roughneck driving an oil rig through the Bakken oil fields. I took a different direction with this T-Shirt design, and tried to go for a more comical, line-art driven design. This is one of my favorites so far for the brand – I love the bright colors.
Set up for silk-screening, 4 colors.

80’s Tees.com

Description:

Custom T-Shirt Illustration I created for 80s Tees.com, featuring an unlikely team-up of Cobra (GI Joe) and the Decepticons (Transformers). It was a really fun challenge to illustrated so many characters (Cobra Commander, Baroness, Storm Shadow, Destro, Starscream, Megatron, and Trypticon) while only using a handful of silk screen colors (I believe this was four colors). We chose a dark color scheme highlighted with oranges and blues. Love how this turned out.

Custom T-Shirt illustration I created for Team Marine, a pleasure boat distributer located in Puerto Rico. This was a complex design challenge, because their featured product, the Contender, had to be shown in full, accurate detail, while also showing a young couple close-up deep-sea fishing. This design was set up for silk-screening with a whopping 9 colors.
