I was hired last year to create some character concept art for a revamp of Scholastic's math game for kids called Sushi Monster – unfortunately, due to a gypsy curse on my family, the whole project was cancelled before we could really get into it because the art director left the company. But it was a great experience while it lasted.#art #illustration #characterdesign #app #game #monster #creature #freelance #FlylandDesigns New Artwork From Instagram

My brother Keith is a super-talented pop-up engineer working at American Greetings – he's created this incredible pop-up book completely by himself by waking up at 5AM every morning before the rest of the fam gets up. He's launching the book via Kickstarter (WHICH STARTS TODAY!), and it would really mean a lot to me if you guys checked out his work. So inspiring! He poured everything he had into this – couldn't be more proud!http://www.messypopup.com/#pop-up #childrensbook #kickstarter #art

Close-up view of a skeleton rider illustration I created just for myself to try out some new coloring techniques.

This is a personal piece I did for myself recently of a biker skeleton riding through flames on a motorcycle.  Pretty cutting edge stuff, I know!  I experimented with some new techniques here that I’m happy with – combining a bit of digital painting with comic book lineart.  I’m hoping to license this artwork for other uses, and print it on some apparel.Pick it up here:https://www.rageon.com/products/skeleton-rider#skeletonrider #skull #biker #art #illustration #tshirt #freelance #FlylandDesigns

Which of my art styles do you think is better? I often switch between a line-art driven comic book style, and a digital painting style depending on the project. The line-art style is more familiar to me, and I think it's easier to convey a strong identifiable style in the artwork. But the digital painting style can come across as more realistic, and is often what clients in the darker genre are looking for.Which of these is a stronger piece? Thanks for your help!#digitalpainting #art #zombie #trooper #outlaw

This is a detailed series of illustrations I created for a children’s book teaching kids about construction. Each double-page spread was packed with animal characters, vehicles, tools, and activities. The book challenges kids to hunt out objects and solve problems within the illustration, so I had to draw everything in a way that certain elements were intentionally hard to find. I had a lot of fun with this, because I had a lot of freedom to design the characters and draw them in my style.
