Red Devil Logo

Red devil logo I’m drawing for a fire department’s patch in New York – though the devil would probably make a pretty bad fire-fighter.#firefighterlife #challengecoin #patchdesign #firefighterpatch #emslife#logodesign #logodesigner #logoconcept #logoart #logoinspiration

Bald Eagle with Flag Wings

American bald eagle illustration I created earlier in the year accessorized with US flag wings! I’ve seen a couple bald eagles in the wild around Pennsylvania while kayaking – nice to see them making a comeback – sorry we almost killed you all! That would have been embarassing.#patrioticart #usflag #patriotic #americaneagle #merica#art #originalartwork #mangastudio #clipstudiopaint […]

Finished St. Patrick’s Day Skull

And here’s the finished St. Patrick’s Day skull leprechaun illustration I created – pretty happy with hos this turned out. Hope it’s not too frightening – tried to make the skull friendly, but it’s tricky to make a skull smile. Available for licensing – message me.#stpatricksday #leprechaun #firefighterlife #challengecoin #patchdesign #firefighterpatch #emslife

Fire Fighter Leprechaun Design

Each year, I like to create a new St. Patrick’s Day design for Fire Fighters. I came up with a really great idea, but decided it would be more fun to just draw a leprechaun with a skull face instead.#stpatricksday #leprechaun #firefighterlife #challengecoin #patchdesign #firefighterpatch #emslife

Finished Tiki Skateboard

All finished with this tiki skateboard painting I did for a private collector. First time I’ve done something like this, so there were a lot of stumbles along the way, but I had a great time with it. The collector wanted the whole thing to be a surprise, so he never even saw a sketch. […]

Progress on the Tiki Skateboard

Blocking in colors on this custom skateboard deck painting I was working on. I used some left-over black light paint for the eyes to really make them glow. You can’t see it in the photo, but I used some metallic gold paint I had for the teeth, and cut it with white, so they have […]

Tiki Crew Brand Announcement

Finally getting around to creating my own brand of beach-themed merch! Just finished up the TikiCrew logo! I love that Photoshop now supports ArtBoards, it makes outputting to different versions of a file so easy.#tikiart #tikibar #beachart #tikitotem #surfart #tikiartist #logodesign‍ http://tikicrew.com/

Sketch Design of Tiki Skateboard

Very excited to share this really unique project. Custom skateboard deck I will be painting on with acrylic for a private collector. He gave me completely free reign, which happens very rarely. I sketched this design in Clip Studio Paint, printed it out, and transferred it to the board with carbon paper. Ready to start […]

Second Design for 2nd Amendment

Here’s the second design I created for a client specializing in 2nd ammendment t-shirt designs – this skull design is available for licensing if anyone has a use for it, message me!#patrioticart #usflag #patriotic #americaneagle #merica #2ndammendment #gunrights#skullart #skulls #skulldesign #darkartist #darkart #skullartwork

Inking of Skull Soldier

Inking a skull soldier in Clip Studio Paint on the Wacom Cintiq – I’m really enjoying working with my stippling brushes to make shading quicker – works great for silk-screening too.#skullart #skulls #skulldesign #darkartist #darkart #skullartwork#art #inkdrawing #mangastudio #clipstudiopaint #illustration #hireanillustrator #freelanceartist #wacomcintiq

Dragon Slaying King Sketch

I sketched this Dragon-Slaying King for a client, but we ended up going in a different direction, unfortunately. It’s tough sometimes when you have to abandon something you’re really excited about – but that’;s just part of the gig. What should I do with this artwork?#art #fantasyart @conceptsketch #dragonart #mangastudio #clipstudiopaint #illustration #tshirtdesign #tshirtart #hireanillustrator […]

Silk Screen Rattlesnake Rifle

Silk-screen illustration I created of a rattle snake clutching a rifle for a t-shirt design that should be available at Cabella’s sometime soon – Snakes are so challenging to draw. Even when you think you’ve got everything in the right place, then come the scales. So. Many. Damn. Scales. This design is available for licensing […]

Text Design for The Lost Arcade

Fun text design I created for The Lost Arcade, a website specializing in retro arcade games. We wanted something that looked hand-drawn, and looked like it could be printed on the cabinet of an old game.#arcade #arcadeart#logodesign #logodesigner #logoconcept #logoart #logoinspiration

Unlimited Off-Road Illustration

Illustration I created for my friends at Unlimited Off-Road, a huge Jeep and offroad expo in Louisville Kentucky – There are so many artists that just kill it at painting realistic cars and trucks, that I decided to take a messier, line-art driven approach. Made a really sharp t-shirt and poster!#jeepart #offroad #unlimitedoffroadexpo#art #originalartwork #mangastudio […]

Artwork to Tattoo

Happy New Year! Here’s another great looking tattoo created with my artwork! These evil mushrooms have always held a warm spot in my cold dead heart. I lost the name of the tattoo artist who inked this – so if you know, please call them out! I think they did an excellent job.#art #mushroomart #mangastudio […]

Santa and Evil Elves

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays from Lesha and I and FlyLand Designs! Thanks for such an incredible year, to all our friends, family, and enemies! This is an illustration I created on the iPad Pro last year. To all my freelancer friends, I hope you get a chance to take some time off and recharge.#santa […]

Tough Kiwi Vape Canyon

Trying to make a Kiwi bird look tough for this logo redesign for Vape Canyon in Australia. Anyone ever seen a kiwi bird irl? They defy evolution.#vapingcommunity #vapeart #vapeartist #ejuice #vapelabel #ecig#packagedesign #packagedesigner #boxart #labeldesign #graphicdesign

Titan Fitness Samurai Illustration

Samurai illustration I created for a line of wrestling singlets for Titan Fitness that I was pretty happy with – I kind of wish I could have gone into more detail on this, but we didn’t have much time, so I tried to keep things simpler, which ultimately will print better on the singlet anyway.#wrestlingsinglet […]

Limited Stock Detroit Disc Company

I’ve teamed up with Detroit Disc Company to release a limited edition disc golf series with my artwork. Here is the design for January – Only 50 of this specific design will be made, and only 10 will have my signature. The signed editions are available for PREORDER now in my shop. So excited for […]

First Place Tiki Truck Wrap

Our design won FIRST PLACE! This wrap design I created using my tiki artwork won first place in a vehicle wrap competition 360 Carshow!Diamond wraps did a hell of a great job printing this on vinyl and wrapping their beautiful truck in the design. They even customized an amazing bamboo truck bed that looks just […]

Chrome Candy Logo

Skull logo design I illustrated for this cool company called Chrome Candy that manufactures custom handles for pinball machines, and other cool arcade parts. We went through a couple sketches to get the right look at the beginning, and ended up with this happy skull chomping after a piece fo pinball candy…..#logodesign #logodesigner #logoconcept #logoart […]

Unlimited Off-Road: Crystal Beach Logo

Anyone familiar with the Unlimited Off-Road shows that happen across the US? I got to design their logo for the Crystal Beach event in Texas – really nice and fun guys who run this thing. Always fun to explore totally new industries as a freelancer and learn the culture.#logodesign #logodesigner #logoconcept #logoart #logoinspiration #jeeplife #atv […]

The Lost Arcade Rejected Sketch

This was a rejected sketch I was working on for a client (just the result of a miscommunication). I really dug it – I might finish it up sometime in the future. I save all the rejected sketches I have in a sad, depressing folder of shame. I find I can often reuse most ideas […]

Hulk Hogan & Andre the Giant

I’m so insanely lucky to have the privilege to work with one of my childhood heroes, Hulk Hogan! This was a t-shirt I illustrated for his brand depecting Hulk’s first face off with Andre the Giant – set up for limited color silk-screening.#hulkhogan #wweart #wweartwork #andrethegiant #worldwidewrestling #wwenetwork #appareldesign #tshirtdesign #tshirtartist #screenprintart
