Digitally painted t-shirt illustration of an evil skull with wings and barbaric weapons I created for the dark apparel company Spiral Direct. This was inspired by a similar design I had done in the past, but taken in a more realistic rendering direction. It was a lot of fun exploring the same subject matter in a different style – it’s a great way to discover the limitations and strengths of a particular method.⠀#art #illustration #skull #tshirt #freelance #FlylandDesigns New Artwork From Instagram
#StephenBunnell of #Cryface Design has been one of my favorite #t-shirt #artists for quite some time – check out his work RIGHT NOW. He uses the #ClipStudioPaint #brushes I sell on my website and had these kind words to say about them:⠀ “Brian’s brushes are some of the most useful and robust tools that a digital illustrator using manga studio can have.” – Stephen Bunnell (Cryface Design)⠀Thanks so much man, means the world to me!

Digitally painted illustration of an angry Rottweiler taking a bite out of a big Piston for the racing brand Commando Racing Gear. This was a fun challenge to work on, because drawing realistic dogs, especially specific breeds, can be very tricky to get just right. I’m pretty happy with the result. This design will be separated to print with simulated process silk-screening and sold at drag racing shows and shops.⠀#art #illustration #tshirt #rottweiler #racing #freelance #FlylandDesigns New Artwork From Instagram

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.

The artist Jared Moraitis (aka #BeastPop ) has been an ENORMOUS source of inspiration and motivation for years. So I was BLOWN AWAY when I found out he was using the #MangaStudio #Brushes I created in some of his work. Here’s his kind testimonial: “Digital inking is something I reluctantly embraced due to necessity. I didn’t care for it at first, but that changed when I discovered Brian Allen’s sets of amazing inking tools for #ClipPaintStudioPaint. I’m amazed not only at the range of brushes he has created and made available, but also by the wonderful variety of lines, strokes and effects I am able to easily create with them.” – Jared Moraitis ( #BeastWreck ).

Marvel
Description:
Talk about a dream job! I was fortunate enough to be hired to create an officially licensed t-shirt of Marvel superheroes to be sold in retail outlets.
The project was an immense challenge, as I tried to incorporate my style into the design, while also making sure to not deviate too much from the art direction from Marvel (which there was quite a lot of!). This was designed in full color, to be separated later for simulated process. Overall, I’m very pleased with how the design turned out, and awestruck that I had this opportunity.
I’m trying to clean out all my old art prints to make room for a bunch of new stuff this year, so I’m selling all of them for only $10 each for the rest of the year. All art prints are signed by me and hugged for 30 seconds. Thanks to all who’ve already picked one up, I sincerely appreciate it!https://www.flylanddesigns.com/shop/#art #prints #brianallen #sale #capitalism New Artwork From Instagram

I was thrilled recently to work with Boy Scouts of America illustrating their Bear, Wolf, and Tiger mascots for a catalog that went out to all troops nationwide. We created illustrations that blended real studio photos of kids in Boy Scouts gear, and drawn into a comic book background. The marketing team hired me to reinvent the existing mascot illustrations in my own style. I was a Cub Scout long ago, so it was a lot of fun to leave a little mark on the organization.
