My new friend at Happy Valley Custom, Andrew Marzka was kind enough to show me some silk screening tricks in his shop – along with the most impressive Star Wars toy collection the world had ever known. Every inch of the walls is covered with hundreds of these toys. So awesome#silkscreen #starwars #happyvalleycustom Work in progress from the desk of illustrator Brian Allen

I designed and illustrated this angry gargoyle busting out of its stone skin for a line of ATV and sled wraps put out by 393 Components. It was a challenge to position everything and design it in a way to make the design look interesting on as many different vehicle types and shapes as possible. I kept all the elements in layers so that the design could be modified if necessary to fit different wraps. I needed to make it look as different as possible from a previous gargoyle design I had done, so I came up with the idea of having the gargoyle a green-skinned creature bursting from stone, as if it was coming to life.It was really cool to be working with graphic decals again for ATVs, because my first full-time position as an artist was at a custom decal shop called XGX Racing.This design is available for licensing for uses other than vehcicle graphics – message me if interested Work in progress from the desk of illustrator Brian Allen

Okay – this probably is going to get me in trouble. This is a detail shot of a logo design I worked on for another Russ team last year. If this offends you, remember that I just draw what people tell me, and I deny all resposibility. Unless you think this is funny – in which case: I know, right?Illustrated by Brian Allen, FlylandDesigns.com#mangastudio #devil #illustration #russ #art #instaart #instaartist #picoftheday #girl #followme Work in progress from the desk of illustrator Brian Allen

Wanted to share this – one of the highlights for me last year was having my artwork published in the Showcase 100 book, which featured artwork from 99 amazing artists, and me! And by the divine powers of alphabetically order, I'm on the first page! Always works great (except when I was in gym class and always had to go first).Illustrated by Brian Allen, FlylandDesigns.com#mangastudio #showcase100 #littlechimpsociety #tshirt #art #instaart #instaartist #picoftheday #igdaily #followme Work in progress from the desk of illustrator Brian Allen
