Hey everyone, I am going to be going live and reviewing Clip Studio Paint for the ipad pro at 2:30 pm eastern
Tis the season for buying stuff – it’s patriotic. It’s your DUTY. So I’ve marked everything down 15% in my art shop this month – makes a great gift for all the demented and sick people on your list! https://www.flylanddesigns.com/shop/
Hey guys, can you please help me redesign my logo? I’m trying to come up with something that is bolder so that it will make a nice clear watermark on my images. Do you have a favorite? See anything strange that could be improved? #logodesign #flylanddesigns

New line of e-juice from Adrenaline Vapors that I illustrated the labels for, featuring a has-been 80’s headbanger screaming into his microphone and dropping his gut.
When we were finished, I provided the labels in a variety of different colors to be used for each flavor in the line.

Silk-screen t-shirt illustration I created in tribute to the legendary Cheech and Chong from Up In Smoke with the characters as weed-eating, brain-smoking zombies.
I drew this artwork in Clip Studio Paint (Manga Studio 5) with a Wacom Cintiq. This is inspired by an illustration I created years ago – I wanted to test out my new skills, and design something that was more fitting for a t-shirt and filled out the front more (the previous design was too square). I also wasn’t happy with the likeness of the characters in the first design, so I drew everything from the ground up, and added a lot of elements from the films and really tried to do my best to capture the spirit of these marijuana legends.

Just got these vinyl zombie toys I designed!
A series of character concept turn-arounds I illustrated for a series of vinyl zombie figurines that will be manufactured and sold in a catalog. This isn’t the first time I’ve created turn-arounds for figurines, but it’s the first zombie series. I can’t wait to see how the final molded and painted models turn out. To make this as efficient as possible, I first sent sketches to the client for just the front view. Once approved, I used a 3D model in Manga Studio, positioned it close to the position of the front view, and then turned it to the side and back. I then drew the other angles using that model as a reference. Pretty effective little trick!

Speed painting in Manga Studio 5 and Adobe Photoshop.
Official Alien illustration I created for the backglass of the new Limited Edition Pinball Machine licensed from 20th Century Fox and built by Heighway Pinball.
Here is the Inking of my Nightmare on Chicago Street 2017 gig poster. It was fun to go to this outdoor concert, The streets were turned into something that you would see on the Walking Dead.

Hey guys, a few months ago I got the iPad Pro 10.5 and tried it out. But it wasn’t for me, so I returned it. I thought it would be cool to make a review of it and let you all know why it didn’t work for me.
Just got this bundle of awesome artwork from the great Dayne Henry Jr. I’ve always been a huge fan of his artwork, and he’s been a really nice and helpful guy to me. Happy to support other artists when I can! Grab his book! #art #daynehenryjr
#Album cover called “Turn People Into Food” I illustrated for the #heavymetal #band #CrustyOldToad featuring the first giant toad monk holding a plate of body parts that I’ve ever drawn!The band and I didn’t take the art too seriously – we wanted something dark but still funny and absurd. I had more fun drawing the uppity aristocrat characters puking their guts out than anything else I think. Check out their music:https://crustyoldtoad.bandcamp.com/

Logo design I created for the vaping company Honey B Vapors of a chill honey bee vaping (because bees hate smoke) on his honeycomb throne.

Thanks to everyone who joined me on my live broadcast last week – here was the finished piece I inked in #digitalink #mangastudio #clipstudiopaint #illustration #tshirtdesign #freelance #hire
Thanks for all the postive feedback on my #eyeballs and #teeth #pattern design – it was extremely challenging drawing this in a way that would repeat seamlessly. You can grab it on shoes and phonecases and stuff at https://www.rageon.com/a/users/TheArtofBrianAllen #alloverprint #monster

Tribute illustration I created to the heavy metal legends Lemmy, Cliff Burton, Ronnie James Dio, and Bon Scott carved into Mount Rushmore (mount Rockmore because we’re clever) for Listenable Records new sampler album cover.
I saw this mural at a MadMex in Ohio – thought it was so amazing. Found out the artist was named Rick Boch – will definitely be checking out mroe of his work.
My progress on a digital painting I was working on in CLIP STUDIO PAINT for a company that creates 3D modelled artwork for gun barrels. Yep. #sketch #wip #pencildrawing #concept #illustration #freelanceartist #hire

Custom T-Shirt illustration I created for the Hot Rod Power Tour Kansas City 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).
#Sailor #Skull #Logo I created for the #MileHigh #Tattoo shop. The shop approached me with an out-dated logo that they wanted revamped, and we came up with these two separate illustrated logos that fit their classic sailor vibe.⠀Illustrated by Brian Allen, FlylandDesigns.com⠀#mangastudio #photoshop #illustration #tshirt #art #instaart #instaartist #picoftheday #igdaily #followme

Here’s something I drew on the iPad Pro in Procreate – as much as I wanted to love the iPad Pro, I ended up returning it for a bunch of reasons. I made a quick video review of it that I’ll be uploading soon. So many amazing pieces of art have been drawn on the iPad Pro, but for me it just didn’t work. #ipadpro #procreate #illustration #art #instaart #instaartist #news #hire #sketch

Fun Tiki head logo design I created for a really cool company specializing in hand-carved solid wood jewelry displays.
#Madscientist character I created for a #t-shirt design created for a really cool business that soups up kid’s power wheel cars. They detail them, add stereos, fake engine blocks, and more – makes them into a work of art. We thought it best to portray the shop as a mad scientist’s laboratory. Illustrated in Manga Studio, set up for full color. ⠀#mangastudio #photoshop #illustration #tshirt #art #instaart #instaartist #picoftheday #igdaily #followme
Work by artist Sean Ferguson. I’ve been wanting to be able to draw symmetrically in #adobeillustrator for years, but only a couple months ago did I find this amazing plugin called #mirrorme by #astutegraphics – I highly reccommend it. A funny coincidence is that my friend #SeanFerguson created the artwork on their website promoting the product. https://astutegraphics.com/software/mirrorme/ #hire

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!
It’s fun to get out the pen and ink on paper every once in a while and get away from the screen. Does anyone feel like working digitally all the time you lose a little bit of a connection to the art? #ink #sketch #scarecrow

I had fun creating the characters from the watchmen for this Russ Logo. The design was for apparel and a vehicle wrap for the russefeiring tradition. If you haven’t heard of it, basically russefeiring involves an entire class of Norwegian students renting a bus (a Russebuss), painting every inch of it with really cool street art, and then partying in it night and day for an entire month during graduation. The different classes wear their designs ever where they go as they clash with rival classes. I’ve done a bunch of these now, and really enjoy it.

So excited to be working on this t-shrit design for Hulk Hogan body-slamming Andre the Giant – been a huge fan of his since the early shirt-ripping days – by the way, I realize his hand is backwards!

Insane lab rat mascot I created for the cool people at Premium eJuice USA, LLC 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.
Really happy to share this illustration I created for the #DiscGolf company @Discraft for a new series of their discs featuring their mascot transformed into one of my favorite slashers. Super fun working with these guys – always love it when clients take the time to send me a sample of the product – really helps fine tune things and take a break from the screen.⠀#michaelmyers #illustration @discraftdiscgolf

I was commissioned to design this poster for the new documentary about the Phyrst bar in State College, Pennsylvania by Blue White TV. The bar has a tremendous history, and it’s really great to be a part of it in a tiny way.
The client wanted a crazy 60’s color scheme to set the tone for the theme so I went with lots of yellows and purples. Awesome to be a part of this production!
Thanks so much for all the hugely positive feedback on my #Disney #skeleton parody #silkscreen #print. Pick one up in my shop, I think I have about 20 left!
I have a few of these prints left over from the @nightmareonchicagostreet event I designed – please pick one up in my shop.I am excited about how they turned out! #halloween #artprint #nocs #nightmareonchicagostreet

Owner of the Heavenly brand resort hired me to create this t-shirt design for his ranch, illustrating his likeness and his dog chilling on the beach in a hammock.
I tried to render this one a little differently than my previous beach designs, using a softer pencil for the lineart instead of a thicker, chunkier ink brush and then doing more of the rendering in the coloring stage. I like the result!
