A series of T-Shirt illustrations I created for the Chesapeake Inn Restaurant featuring their crab mascot doing all sorts of activities, but mostly running around and drinking. These designs were set up for silk-screening with limited colors.
Stylized angry mutant Marlin I created for an apparel graphics company leaping out of the water. This was the first time I explored drawing fish in a more crazy creepy style, rather than realistic, and I love it.

Angry, joint-smoking pitbull in a hoodie I illustrated for Big Dawg, a brand of cannabis on the West Coast. Jeremy asked me to create something cartoonish but creepy and tough. We gave him bloodshot eyes and a big gold pot leaf chain because subtly is not my thing. To see more of my work, or hire me for freelance projects, please visit my website: www.flylanddesigns.com

Ready to rock? This metal inspired design features a stormy sky and floating bat-winged skull complete with a pair of bangin’ sunglasses. 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.

I illustrated this detailed map for a paintball course in Europe, based on supplied photos and an existing map.
This map was very challenging because there were so many different areas and objects that needed to be illustrated, many with very few reference photos. The client and I were very happy with how it turned out in the end. The map will be used on their website, painted on a mural at the course, and handed out as a brochure to help their guests navigate this enormous professional paintball course.
My process from pencil, ink, color for this ghoul illustration . Trying to play in the classic Tales From The Crypt comic book style, and fumbling miserably.

Funland in Rehoboth Beach hired me to create a t-shirt design for their iconic Haunted Mansion, which is celebrating its 40th anniversary this year! It’s such an honor to be adding to the history of this historic and cherished icon on the boardwalk of Rehoboth. I still remember my first time riding through this haunted house when I was barely young enough to see over the bars. Walking by still creeps me out a bit to this day. We set this shirt up for silk-screening, limited to 6 colors.

This was a series of characters I created for a supplement company for their labels, and to advertise the products in Germany.
All the custom characters were created to look hyper-jacked and muscular. Each character reflected the title of each product in a subtle way. I created a minotaur, a pistol-wielding Gorilla in a suit, and a panda drug lord.

Blacklight tiki heads I painted on wood panel. Fun to work traditionally from time to time.

I have very sad news. My grandma Joanne DeFiore passed away this weekend unexpectedly. This artwork of the snowman on the beach is something that she drew that I’ve always loved and wanted to share with you all.She was one of my best friends in the world. She was a gifted artist and calligrapher. My kids adored their GG DeFiore and she was always thinking of them. Rehoboth Beach was a part of her soul, and Rehoboth has lost one of its best and most loyal friends. You can’t walk 100 ft without seeing something she’s left her mark on. She helped my Poppa through a very difficult time leading up to his death and I am very grateful for that. Since my brothers and I were very young, she has always encouraged creativity and expression, and I owe a lot to her. She’s travelled the world and was involved in countless community organizations, clubs, and activities, yet she still made time for everyone and always had you in her thoughts.

Rough pencil drawing for a new t-shirt I’m creating – I tend to work pretty rough, and then clean things up and add style when I ink – this means my pencils aren’t real pretty looking.
