Client:
Celtic Warriors
Description:
T-Shirt illustration I created of a skeleton riding a chopper through flames for the motorcycle club Celtic Warriors. It’s always a pleasure to work on direct-to-garment T-Shirts, because I don’t have to hold back on colors.
Signed art prints of the design will also be auctioned off to support the client’s local police force, of which he is a member.

Great Dane Graphics
Description:
Cartoon mascot illustration of a tiger playing basketball I created for Great Dane Graphics and their children’s sports line. The graphic will be used for T-Shirts and other products for kids’ sport teams. The client wanted these designs to be fully rendered digital paintings, without lineart, which is not the typical style I work in. I’m happy with how they turned out.

T-Shirt design I created of a mushroom cloud shaped fire skull for Nuke Proof Tools. The image will be used on banners and T-Shirts for the company’s tradeshows and events. The client had seen a mushroom cloud skull design I did years ago, and wanted something similar. It was fun to go back and work on the same concept, and have the chance to make imrpovements.

Evolution Media
Description:
This is a mascot and logo I designed for the MMA fighter Umaer “THE HONEYBADGER” Haq. Basing the mascot on the fighter’s nickname, I set out to create something that was high contrast and colorful that would be printed on the fighters shorts, used on banners, and on his website.

Client:
HOSS
Description:
Double-page editorial spread I illustrated for the Canadian DIY magazine HOSS. The magazine features many tv DIY celebrities, and the art director wanted a detailed illustration introducing each of their contributors as caricatures building a house. There were over 18 caricatures that went into this very complex illustration.
The magazine prints over a million copies bi-monthly.

Client:
Listenable Records
Description:
Iron Maiden, and the artist behind their amazing artwork, Derek Riggs, have always been a huge inspiration for everything that I do. So I was super excited when I was hired by Listenable Records to create an illustration tribute to Iron Maiden’s first album, “Killers,” for an upcomming sampler that would be given out at Iron Maiden concerts in Europe. I tried to cram in as much of my own style as I could.
