OK – here’s something a little weird. Silly #Trix parody I illustrated last year of our favorite cereal-obsessed rabbit enjoying a bowl of #shatter , designed for a limited color #silkscreen shirt, separated using halftones. #art #mangastudio #clipstudiopaint #illustration #tshirtdesign #freelanceartist #marijuanaart
Zombies can do anything if they just put their hearts in it. Sketching a zombie helicopter crew #art #mangastudio #clipstudiopaint #illustration #tshirtdesign #freelance #hire #zombies

Here’s the finished t-shirt artwork I created for @moonshine_bandits – really easy and fun dudes to work with. Limited color silk-screen, I believe 6 colors (can’t remember off the top of my head). I’ve got signed limited edition prints in my shop if you’re a fan! #skullart #mangastudio #clipstudiopaint #illustration #tshirtdesign #freelance #hire #moonshinebandits
Vicious gun-toting rattlesnake wishes people would stop treading on him.
Here’s something I drew to celebrate yesterday’s historic summit with Trump and Kim Jong-un. I turned it into a crappy animation, because I understand global politics. #kimjongil #donaldtrump #nukes #summit #trumpcaricature
Loved creating this illustration of a patriot skull duel-wielding a pair of pistols!
Logo design I created for the #vaping company Honey B Vapors of a chill #honeybee vaping (because bees hate smoke) on his honeycomb throne. #logodesign #characterdesign #clipstudiopaint #mangastudio #illustration #hire

My new logo! After beating my head against my desk for months trying to refurbish my logo, I reached out to my friend and super talented artist @absorb81 to create this awesome hand-drawn text style for my brand. I then updated the floating island (Fly-Land, get it now?) mark, and here we have our new […]
Psychedelic design of a meditating mystic to help you achieve enlightenment [and tentacles!]
Inking a #fanart piece for the obscure @Marvel team the #Thunderbolts, because they will eventually have to make a movie/tv series of this when they hit the bottom of the barrel. #sketch #wip #pencildrawing #concept #illustration #freelanceartist #hire
Here was the final #psychedelicart #skull monk dude with colors added. Really happy with how this turned out. Any feedback is always welcome and appreciated. Does the color scheme work? #art #mangastudio #clipstudiopaint #illustration #tshirtdesign #freelance
Bad-to-the-bone skeleton oil field workers- embrace your inner roughneck.
New line of e-juice from @adrenalinevapors.co that I illustrated the labels for, featuring a has-been 80’s headbanger screaming into his microphone and dropping his gut. #vapingart #mascot #characterdesign #clipstudiopaint #mangastudio #illustration #hire
I’m really happy to report that our first #DrinkandDraw in State College for local artists was a success! We had 20 artists emerge from their caves and socialize, draw, and drink! Thank you everyone who came out and helped promote the event. We’re excited about making this a regular thing, and expanding it. #champssportsgrill #drinkanddrawsc […]
A fantastically gross repeating pattern featuring eyes and teeth. It was difficult to work out a design that would repeat seamlessly, but I’m happy with how it turned out!
Custom #TShirtdesign I created for the #HotRod Power Tour #KansasCity 2017. Always a fun challenge to draw cars, which can be very hard to get right. I had to us a lot of reference photos for this one to get the details of the models just right (or close enough anyway). #art #mangastudio #clipstudiopaint #illustration […]

Here’s my finished @donniedarko_movie #fanart piece – I wanted to try to keep the color scheme really limited, and the lineart solid so I could silk-screen it someday. Would anyone be interested in that? #art #mangastudio #clipstudiopaint #illustration #tshirtdesign #freelance #hire
#Fanart piece I was working on for one of my favorite #sci-fi movies of all time, @donniedarkofilm . Decided to draw this on good old fashioned paper (had some liying around). #sketch #wip #pencildrawing #concept #illustration #freelanceart

Really excited to finally share this series of illustrations I did for the University of Georgia and Chick-Fil-A for a pop-up restaurant and nationally televised commercial we created last year for the Georgia v. Auburn game. More to come on this! #georgiafootball #georgiabulldogs #chickfila #rivalrestaurant #mascotdesign

Wanted to share these final product shots of the #motorcyclehelmet I designed for #blazeartworks – so happy with how it turned out. Seriously challenging illustrating something that could #vinylwrap around an object like this. #art #mangastudio #clipstudiopaint #illustration #freelance #hire
I’m so thrilled to announce that I won a Gold award at the Central Pennsylvania Creative Professionals Bracket Awards this weekend!

I’m so honored to be recognized, and thankful […]
Beach bum friendly t-shirt template I designed – available for licensing and ready for you customization!
Illustration I created of a Norwegian legend, depicting a big hairy troll behind a dark warlock in the woods stirring a cauldron. I had a lot of fun with this – I tried to give it a rougher look by skipping the ink stage, and coloring over my pencils. Happy with the result.
Insane lab rat mascot I created for the cool people at @premiumejuiceusa for their new rebranding campaign.The design is inspired a bit by the classic Rat Fink character, only this time with science. Drawn in manga studio 5. #mascot #characterdesign #clipstudiopaint #mangastudio #illustration #hire
Digital #sketch I was working on last year for a lab rat mascot for a #vaping company – inspired by #ratfink (duh) #mascot #character-design #clipstudiopaint #mangastudio #illustration #hire

Here’s a really fun album cover I was hired to create for @mcsnax of a blue-collar slob rolling up his sleeves (metaphor) and taking on the #apocalypse #art #mangastudio #clipstudiopaint #illustration #albumcover #freelance #hire
Happy to share this reimagining of the Auburn University Tiger for Chick-Fil-A – they hired me to create a series of enormous illustrations for a pop-up Chick-Fil-A restaurant during the Auburn v. Georgia game last year, which was featured in a nationally televised commercial! It was such a challenging project, but I’m so happy with […]

Exploratory poster illustration I created in a psychedelic style I’m experimenting with of an old wise dude meditating the planets into existence in outer space – and for some reason: tentacles. Lots and lots of tentacles.
T-shirt illustration I created for Great Lakes Graphics featuring a #dive bar home to shady looking sharks, slutty mermaids, and deep-sea diving gorillas.The design is black and white on the shirt until the wearer goes out into the sun, and the colors are revealed! #art #mangastudio #clipstudiopaint #illustration #tshirtdesign #freelance #hire #beachart

Illustration I created in a vintage style of a snake oil salesman for the Charlatan Russ group. I tried to hold back on the color and create it with a bit of a woodblock ink style.
Pencil #sketch for one of my favorite illustrations from last year of an underwater #dive bar drawn in #clipstudiopaint #art #mangastudio #clipstudiopaint #illustration #tshirtdesign #freelance #hire

Tribute illustration I created last year to the heavy metal legends #Lemmy, #CliffBurton, #RonnieJamesDio, and #BonScott carved into Mount Rushmore (mount Rockmore because we’re clever) for @listenable_records new sampler #albumcover. #art #mangastudio #clipstudiopaint #illustration #tshirtdesign #freelance #hire
I’m nearly finished creating a thrid set of brushes for @clipstudiopaint – are there any brushes that you’d like to see? Anything missing from my other sets? This set will focus a lot on repeating patterns and design elements. Thanks! #mangastudio5 #clipstudiopaint #brushes
Inking a #Watchmen #fanart piece – as a kid, this was the first graphic novel I ever read, and I still go back and flip through it every couple years. Masterpiece. #sketch #wip #pencildrawing #concept #illustration #freelanceartist #hire
Fun tribute to Mario, Luigi, Wario, and Waluigi I got to work on for a Russ bus group in Norway. I tried to add my style to them and tweak them up a bit, as if they’d gotten a little too liberal with the mushrooms.
This was a really fun, trippy, and detailed illustration I created for @wazshop_ of a mechanical elephant and owl for a line of all-over print apparelto be sold at festivals and concerts. #hire #tshirtdesign #tapestry #owltattoo #psychedelicart
I was hired by a fabric pot manufacturer called @grassrootsfabricpots for growing plants to create a t-shirt for their conventions featuring this hipster #bear #characterdesign 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 […]
I’ve had the new #wacom #Cintiq Pro 24″ for a few weeks now, and I absolutely love it. Best #digitalart tool I’ve ever used. I put together a #review of it here: www.flylanddesigns.com/Wacom-cintiq-Pro-24-review
Russ logo I created for the group Araca based on a popular tv puppet kids show in Norway called flåklypa. Always fun to take lovable characters and twist them a bit. Pleasure working with these guys.
The new Wacom Cintiq Pro 24″ (non-touch) is the perfect tablet for digital artists. About the Cintiq Pro I have been using the Wacom Cintiq Pro 24″ extensively since early April 2018, and I absolutely love it. I’m upgrading from the Wacom Cintiq 24HD, which has severed me well for over six years (and is […]
