Owner of the Heavenly brand resort hired me to create this t-shirt design for his ranch, illustrating his likeness and his dog chilling on the beach in a hammock.
I tried to render this one a little differently than my previous beach designs, using a softer pencil for the lineart instead of a thicker, chunkier ink brush and then doing more of the rendering in the coloring stage. I like the result!
Hey Guys! I am excited to present my first ever silk-screen print of my Disney Skeleton Parody artwork! Iconic Silkscreen did an excellent job – one color on thick textured black paper 12.5″ square. I’m only printing 50 of these things – thanks in advance for checking them out – really hope to get these things out there so I can screen more artwork!⠀Get it here: https://www.flylanddesigns.com/shop/#silkscreenprint #silkscreenart #disneyart #halloweenart #skeleton #skullart

Silly Trix parody I illustrated of our favorite cereal-obsessed rabbit enjoying a bowl of shatter, designed for a limited color silk-screen shirt, separated using halftones.
I was thrilled recently to work with #BoyScouts Of America illustrating their Bear, Wolf, and Tiger #mascots for a catalog that went out to all troops nationwide. We created illustrations that blended real studio photos of kids in Boy Scouts gear, and drawn into a comic book background. The marketing team hired me to reinvent the existing mascot illustrations in my own style. I was a Cub Scout long ago, so it was a lot of fun to leave a little mark on the organization. ⠀#mangastudio #photoshop #illustration #tshirt #art #instaart #instaartist #picoftheday #igdaily #followme

I was hired by a fabric pot manufacturer for growing plants to create a t-shirt for their conventions featuring this hipster bear character we came up with, holding one of their fabric pots. They wanted something that displayed their product in a way that people would want to wear, even if they weren’t familiar with the product. This was printed with direct-to-garment full-color printing. They were kind enough to send me a shirt, and it turned out great!

Young-adult fantasy book cover I illustrated for author Charon Dunn, illustrating a scene from the book where a school is attacked, and the main characters and mech-suited police officer react in horror.
Just got my booth setup at #nightmareonchicagostreet in Elgin Illinois!! It’s go NV to be nuts, expecting 17k drunk people dressed as zombies!!!
Very pleased to share my finished gig poster for the Nightmare on Chicago Street concert this weekend!

This was a really fun, trippy, and detailed illustration I created for Waz Shop of a pink dancing elephant and robot hornet for a line of all-over print apparel to be sold at festivals and concerts.
The client really let me explore and go a little nuts on this one, which is always a good time. We set this up at a huge size, so it could be printed on tapestries.
OK – here are finished pencils for my poster and t-shirt for Nightmare on Chicago Street on October 21 – time to ink! They invited us to come out to the show and be a vendor there, which we abruptly replied “hell yes!”#elginocs @nightmareonchicagostreet #sketch
Very excited to be working on an event poster for the Nightmare on Chicago Street – I decided to draw the poster on paper initially instead of digitally so I could really fine-tune the details. More to come soon!
With halloween coming up, I thought I’d share this zombie beer mug t-shirt design I created for last season – this design is available for licensing if anyone is interested.⠀#art #illustration #tshirt #halloween #zombie #beer #licensing #freelance #FlylandDesigns

This is a video of my inking process I do when inking by hand. T-Shirt illustration I created of a mutated Chem Dawg with three heads for a marijuana-themed apparel line.
T-Shirt and character design illustration I created for the beach resort restaurant The Grille. The client wanted a French Bulldog character designed to represent the brand, and we plan on creating a line of apparel and marketing materials with the character in different situations. This design was created for full-color direct-to-garment printing.⠀#art #illustration #tshirt #beach #freelance #FlylandDesigns

Easily one of my favorite projects ever! Official Alien illustration I created for the backglass of the new Limited Edition Pinball Machine licensed from 20th Century Fox and built by Heighway Pinball.
We had to turn this around on a super quick deadline, racing to release the artwork on Alien Day in 2017. The illustration is huge – twenty eight inches square, so I had to pump a ton of detail in every nook and cranny. HR Giger, the genius behind the Alien creature concept, was one of my very first artistic inspirations when I was a kid, so it was a great compliment to be able to play around in his shadow a little.

Album cover I illustrated for Penny One, inspired by a sort of pulp graphic comic book style that was pretty new for me.
I really enjoyed working with Alex (whose likeness is at the computer mixing) – always fun to work with other creatives.
This illustration of a #cheerleader #clown with #medusa pom-poms being thrown in the air by a #gorilla is now the strangest thing I’ve ever drawn. I have a fun job.⠀Illustrated by Brian Allen, FlylandDesigns.com⠀#mangastudio #photoshop #illustration #tshirt #art #instaart #instaartist #picoftheday #igdaily #followme
Professional Illustrator Brian Allen reviews the new Wacom Cintiq Pro 24″ (non-touch). I have been using the new Wacom Cintiq Pro 24″ extensively since early April 2018 and I love it! I upgraded from the Wacom Cintiq 24HD, which I used for over 6 years. I had high expectations for this digital drawing tablet and […]
