I can FINALLY post this! 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!!! Exclamation points!!⠀We had to turn this around on a super quick deadline, racing to release the artwork on Alien Day in 2017. HR Giger, the genius behind the Alien creature concept, was one of my very first artistic inspirations when I was a kid, so it was a great compliment to be able to play around in his shadow a little.#pinballart #pinball #alienpinball #alien #giger #backglass #heighway New Artwork From Instagram

Client:
Coconut Joe’s Sun-care Products
Description:
Coconut Joe’s hired me to update their branding, and create this colorful, beach-themed t-shirt design to promote their line of natural sun-care products.
After we redesigned their logo, we conceptualized a few different beach t-shirt designs before moving forward with this illustration focusing on a sea turtle swimming in a reef. The client wanted a fun, light-hearted look that they could take to conventions and sell in their shops.
Here’s the finished #poster I was commissioned to design for the new #documentary about the #Phyrst bar in #StateCollege, Pennsylvania by #BlueWhiteTV. The client wanted a crazy vintage #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! If you want a t-shirt, they are taking orders until 3PM EST today.⠀Illustrated by Brian Allen, FlylandDesigns.com⠀#gigposter #tshirt #mangastudio #photoshop #illustration #art #instaart #instaartist New Artwork From Instagram

Description:
Illustrations for a novel I created in a shorthand style that was very different for me, using black and white ink and watercolor wash.
The book was an adventure story for young adults, and the author needed many small black and white illustrations that could carry the story along and set the scenes. I had a lot of fun with this style, as it let me be looser and create the illustrations more quickly.
Client Testimonial:
Your work has been great. I’m really pleased.

Weird and fun commission poster I illustrated of a Venus Fly Trap emerging from a toilet in a decrepit bathroom chomping on a guitar.
The artwork was done on request for a private collector who packed this piece with symbolism that probably only makes sense to him, haha. But sometimes, that can be the most fun, to just draw and explore, and not be so pinned down to reality. This was created completely in Manga Studio, and I published a live digital painting demonstration on YouTube as I worked.

#License my #art as a #tattoo, it will change your life! A lot of fine people have been getting my #artwork tattooed on their bodies, and man, what a huge compliment that is! But a lot of the images they’ve been using as reference were low-resolution, which doesn’t always produce the best result. SO – I’ve set up a product in my shop that will grant you permission to tattoo my artwork for a small $35 USD fee – I’ll also send a high-res version of the artwork so that the tattoo will look as sweet as possible. I shamelessly stole this idea from two fantastic artists, Absorb 81 and Chris Ryniak https://www.flylanddesigns.com/shop/⠀#tattoo #flash #lineart #art New Artwork From Instagram

Client:
Activision, Call of Duty
Description:
I was hired to create a series of illustrations for Activision’s Call of Duty Zombies video game used during a promotional campaign they ran on social media during the game’s launch.
One of my favorite projects ever, for a series I’ve been a huge fan of. The clients wanted their different 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.
I created this seamless repeatable zombie pattern from sketches of zombie heads I had laying around – I wish I had the guts to print this out on wallpaper and plaster a room with this!
