One of the coolest moments of my career: Hulk Hogan himself signing the illustration he hired me to create, now proudly hanging in my studio. I’ve been working at a freelance artist constantly for almost seven years now, and it’s not an easy path. There are huge ups and down – so I’m not going […]
One of my favorite projects from last year: a t-shirt illustration for Crytivo Games’ hit title “The Universim”, a really cool world building game. If you’ve ever played the game before, you’ll recognize these cute little spherical people that are the inhabitants of the world you build. It was challenging to give the characters emotion […]

Here’s a shot of the back of the Skull and Roses t-shirt I designed using the same elements, but with a snake added for maximum broodiness and maybe even a little anxst. Created for @SpiralDirect Hope you like it!#appareldesign #tshirtdesign #tshirtartist #screenprintart #snake#skullart #skulls #skulldesign #darkartist #darkart #skullartwork
Here was an illustration I created earlier this year for my friends at @SpiralDirect of a skull, antique guns, and a pile of roses. Trying to come up with a style that blends my lineart driven approach with a little more digital painting rendering. Does this look too comic-booky to be considered dark and serious?….#appareldesign […]

An awesome tribute and parody to the infamous “The Shining” Stephen King book and film. The iconic twins in matching blue dresses stare impassively alongside a full moon, axe murderer, psychic boy, and the words ‘redrum’ written in blood.

This was the first t-shirt design I was hired to create for Hulk Hogan, hoisting Andre the Giant over his head. Such a trip to actually speak to a childhood hero on the phone – and yes, he talks exactly like he does on TV, BROTHER! This was illustrated in Clip Studio Paint, set up […]

Here’s the finished design! I decided to color this totally different than anything in the series and in my portfolio. Signed art prints available now in my shop! Since I was doing this for myself, I thought it would be a good opportunity to make a purple skull – clients get skiddish when I suggest […]

So thrilled to have been asked to design the poster for this year’s Jack Herer Cup, an event celebrating the life of the “Emperor of Hemp” Tommy Chong will be at the event (hope I get to meet him!), so we decided to draw him and Jack driving the van from Up in Smoke through […]
So, this HAS to be the strangest/coolest use of my artwork I’ve ever seen. @tinaschultz used my Dumb and Dumber Zombie illustration as inspiration to completely paint her body! Insanely good, totally unnerving, and extremely flattering! What is the weirdest place you’ve ever seen your art used?#art #originalartwork #dumbanddumber #zombieart #illustration
Here’s the finished Vector illustration I created for Yellow Jacket’s line of fitness gear – the client was really pleased with it!

Working on the inks for the Jack Herer Cup poster – so excited to be part of this great event in Vegas, and possibly meet the legend Tommy Chong!

Decided to spend some extra cash and get some wood-engraved business cards from @graffitipete for the Jack Herer Cup in Las Vegas I’ll be attending next month.
