Hot Rod Power Tour T-Shirt Illustration

Client:

Hot Rod Power Tour

Description:

Custom T-Shirt illustration I created for the Hot Rod Power Tour in the Southwest I was hired to design.

I haven’t had a lot of opportunities to illustrated cars, so this was a particular challenge. But I hope I pulled it off accurately. If not, I made sure to cover it up with plenty of flames to distract, and threw a steer skull in their for good measure.

Check out more of my T-Shirt designs here.

Inktober 27th – Duckface Freddy Selfie – It's pretty hard to draw a character who traditionally doesn't have lips doing duckface. I want to do a couple of these.

Here's an ink drawing of my favorite character from one the coolest animated movies of all time, Wizards, named Peace. I was using the iconic poster art as reference, just tried to put my own style and spin on it. It's pretty hard to imagine an animated film like that being made today – it had some pretty dark themes.#inktober #wizards #peace #ink #sketch #brush #blackandwhite #art #instaartist #brianallen New Artwork From Instagram

Odin on Throne Russ Bus Logo

Description:

Illustration I created of the Norse God Odin sitting on a throne with his crows.The design was for apparel and a vehicle wrap for the russefeiring tradition. If you haven’t heard of it, 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.

Black Sabbath Tribute Album Cover

Client:

Listenable Records

Description:

Listenable Records hired me to illustrated this Black Sabbath tribute album cover of their red winged demon.

I tried to pump as much of my style into it, while still keeping the pose close enough that fans of the early Black Sabbath material would get it. We put some headphones on the demon for fun. Always a pleasure working with these guys!

Inktober is half over – or half empty, whatever your thing is. Ran short of time again and had to ink a pencil sketch I have laying around of a tiki head. I'm really going to try to make a serious effort to carve out more time to work on these in the remaining weeks.#tiki #inktober #ink #sketch #brush #blackandwhite #art #instaartist #brianallen New Artwork From Instagram

Power Wheels Mad Scientist T-Shirt

Client:

Low Voltage Customs

Description:

Mad scientist character I created for a t-shirt design created for a really cool business that soups up kid’s power wheel cars.

They detail them, add stereos, fake engine blocks, and more – makes them into a work of art. We thought it best to portray the shop as a mad scientist’s laboratory. Illustrated in Manga Studio, set up for full color.

Zombie punk shirt

Client:

Description:

Crowd of zombies I illustrated coming out of the legendary CBGB club for Mooch Clothing.

Had a great time creating the different punk characters. Would a mohawk really stay intact on the undead? I like to think so. Illustrated in Manga Studio 5, and separated for limited color silk-screen.

Skeleton Ripping Through Shirt

Client:

ODM

Description:

I was hired to create this digital painting of a skeleton ripping through the front of a shirt.

This was a very challenging piece for me, as it’s a departure from my usual lineart style, but I’m happy with how it turned out. The design should hopefully be available in retail outlets like Hot
