Cyborg Leprechaun fire-fighter I created for a St. Patrick’s day t-shirt template I illustrated for fire departments and t-shirt shops to license to celebrate their Irish Pride!

I try to design one of these each year, and I had a lot of fun with this one, trying to approach it differently by making the Leprechaun into a cyborg.  From the future?  Only time will tell.

Hey guys - I finally got around to converting my favorite CLIP STUDIO PAINT brushes to Adobe Photoshop, and I'm selling them here  https://www.flylanddesigns.com/shop/ - Even though Manga Studio 5 is my go-to drawing program, I use Photoshop quite often - so they set of brushes makes going back and forth a lot easier.  I did my best to replicate the behavior of the brushes as closely as I could.  If you pick them up, please let me know what you think! #custombrushes #mangastudio #clipstudiopaint #illustration #photoshopbrushes #freelance #hire

Client:

Unlimited Off-Road

Description:

I was fortunate recently to work with Unlimited Off-Road, a huge jeep, and off-roading event, to design their new logo for their Spring event in Texas.  They liked my beach and Tiki graphics, and we chose to create a rocky tropical island in the shape of a jeep emerging from the waters.

This was a fun illustration I created for a client for their apparel brand that caters to military families.  The design, Military Brats, depicts the children of Navy, Marines, Army, and Airforce soldiers emerging from a moving box on a base, coping with the uncertain life of constant upheaval from base to base.It was a fun challenge to depict each child in a way that captures the aspects of each particular branch of the military.Illustrated by Brian Allen, https://www.flylanddesigns.com/#military #cartoon #mangastudio #photoshop #illustration #art #instaart #instaartist

Client:

Adam Bravery

Description:

Character designs I illustrated to fit into an existing library of art for an animated series pitch called Adam Bravery.  It was fun and challenging to work with a simpler, flatter coloring and lineart style (to make it easier to animate).  Can’t wait to see these characters come to life!

#Festival #poster I designed for Squatchfest this Saturday in Kane, PA featuring the most famous #Sasquatch #BigFoot himself coming out of hiding and playing with a lot of great bands. Had a ton of fun with this – great to give back to my once temporary home-town.⠀

Ok, last post on this, I'm just excited about this one.  Here's a shot of one of the ways my artwork was used in the #Activision social media campaign for the launch of#CallofDuty #Zombies in Spaceland.  Each day, another #zombie appeared in the countdown.  Fans were given an app that put a zombie in their selfie, encouraging them to look like they were being eaten by the zombie.

One of my favorite projects ever for #Activision, for a series I’ve been a huge fan of.  The clients wanted their different #CallofDuty  iconic #zombie characters in their new 80s themed zombie shooter illustrated using my style, which was hugely flattering.  Each illustration was used on Activision’s social media during the countdown to the release of the game.  The illustrations were drawn in a way to encourage fans of the game to insert their photos behind the zombies so it appeared like they were being attacked.

Vinyl wrapped zombie helmet I illustrated for Blaze Artworks’ new line of monster themed motorcycle helmets.
It was a fun challenge to try to figure out how to illustrate something in two dimensions that would ultimately wrap around a spherical 3D object. The client was kind enough to send me a helmet that I was able to physically trace and photograph to create a template, using some tricks I learned at my first professional art job at XGX Racing more than a decade ago. Thrilled with how this turned out!


 

Client:

Hogan’s Beach Shop

Description:

Super humbling to be able to work for one of my childhood heroes, Hulk Hogan.  He owns a beach shop down in Florida, and liked my colorful beach graphics.  We created a few designs for his shop that involves their Shark mascot punking the Hulkster in different ways.  Very easy guy to work with, and tons of fun, BROTHER!


 

Client:

Fumeine

Description:

Pleasure to work with this vaping company in the UK, to design their new labels for a line of vaping ejuice.  I thought it would be cool to create this slightly creepy monk character – graphics were set up to fit both wide and tall labels, leaving room for a gazillion disclaimers and warning text that is required in that area.

Merry Christmas to my friends, family, clients, and even my bitter enemies! This was something I drew with the new iPad Pro 12.9 using the new Clip Studio Paint app.  At first I wasn't a big fan of it, but I'm starting to come around.  Trying to decide if I should keep this or the Wacom Mobile Studio pro, got another week to tinker.
