Inktober Day 4: Skeleton Goofy! I've been tasked to make t-shirts for a big group of family and friends who are going to Disney World next month, so I thought I'd hit two birds with one brick (is that cheating?) and shoehorn it into Inktober. Going to do two more characters as skeletons, and hopefully print them on black hoodies in glow in the dark ink.#inktober #goofy #pentel #skeleton #ink #sketch #brush #blackandwhite #art #instaartist #brianallen New Artwork From Instagram

I was hired last year to create some character concept art for a revamp of Scholastic's math game for kids called Sushi Monster – unfortunately, due to a gypsy curse on my family, the whole project was cancelled before we could really get into it because the art director left the company. But it was a great experience while it lasted.#art #illustration #characterdesign #app #game #monster #creature #freelance #FlylandDesigns New Artwork From Instagram

My brother Keith is a super-talented pop-up engineer working at American Greetings – he's created this incredible pop-up book completely by himself by waking up at 5AM every morning before the rest of the fam gets up. He's launching the book via Kickstarter (WHICH STARTS TODAY!), and it would really mean a lot to me if you guys checked out his work. So inspiring! He poured everything he had into this – couldn't be more proud!http://www.messypopup.com/#pop-up #childrensbook #kickstarter #art

Close-up view of a skeleton rider illustration I created just for myself to try out some new coloring techniques. I tried to skip the ink stage with this one, and instead just color over top some hard pencil lines. Pretty happy with the result.Illustrated by Brian Allen, http://FlylandDesigns.com#biker #skull #skeleton #mangastudio #photoshop #illustration #tshirt #art #instaart #instaartist #picoftheday #igdaily #followme

I created a new series of Tiki Head art that I thought would look really cool on a set of throw pillows for the beach house that we will own someday in the far, far future. Check them out! Labor Day Sale going on right now at my RageOn storehttps://www.rageon.com/a/users/TheArtofBrianAllen#tiki #beach #art #pillows #allover #decor

And finally, the Boss all colored and ready to be packaged. There were four characters total in the series, but these two were my favorite.#art #illustration #vaping #ejuice #ink #pentel #freelance #FlylandDesigns

Here's a really fun series of shady characters I created for a few e-juice vaping labels that I wanted to share. Here's the Boss.#art #illustration #vaping #ejuice #ink #pentel #freelance #FlylandDesigns

Thanks for all the positive comments about my Rick and Morty design. The shirt will be printed as one of three official Rick and Morty shirts soon. As part of the prize pack, I get a sweet comic signed by the creators of the show, which I'm pretty psyched about. Thanks to all who have ordered prints as well!

This is a personal piece I did for myself recently of a biker skeleton riding through flames on a motorcycle.  Pretty cutting edge stuff, I know!  I experimented with some new techniques here that I’m happy with – combining a bit of digital painting with comic book lineart.  I’m hoping to license this artwork for other uses, and print it on some apparel.Pick it up here:https://www.rageon.com/products/skeleton-rider#skeletonrider #skull #biker #art #illustration #tshirt #freelance #FlylandDesigns

Here were the digital inks for my official Rick and Morty tribute illustration – I think the most difficult part was narrowing down which of the hundreds of insane characters to cram into the shirt. Originally wanted to get the whole family in there, but ran out of room pretty quick.#rickandmorty #ink #mangastudio

Which of my art styles do you think is better? I often switch between a line-art driven comic book style, and a digital painting style depending on the project. The line-art style is more familiar to me, and I think it's easier to convey a strong identifiable style in the artwork. But the digital painting style can come across as more realistic, and is often what clients in the darker genre are looking for.Which of these is a stronger piece? Thanks for your help!#digitalpainting #art #zombie #trooper #outlaw

T-Shirt illustration I created of Godzilla using buildings of a destroyed city to stay in shape – how else do you think he stays so fit? The design was set up for silk-screening in limited color, and is also available for purchase at Shirt Woot.

If this is too much America for you, then you can GIIIIIITTT OOOOUTT!!All-over-print dye-sublimated wrestling singlet design I created for BlueChip wrestling. This design was for their patriotic catalog, featuring a big angry eagle clutching a banner in front of a textured American Flag. I tried to give it a lot of depth, and fit a lot of different singlet sizes. #wrestling #patriotic #eagle #dyesub
