Just received my Purple Skull art on the limited edition disc golf series I’m doing with Detroit Disc Golf – man are they sweet looking on this foil! There are only 50, and only 10 with my signature on them. I’ve got a couple left in my shop if you collect Discraft discs. Thanks to all those that pre-ordered them, so sorry for the long delay, won’t happen again!–#purpleskull #skullart #discgolf #frisbeegolf #discraftdiscs #teamdiscraft #detroitdisccompany #disc
Client:
New Hong Kong
Description:
The band New Hong Kong hired me to illustrate their album cover for The King Makes The Rules, showing a bunch of evil monsters sparring with a young vampire hunter.
The band wanted it to be creepy but still fun, so I kept the gore to a minimum and the colors saturated. I illustrated the mummy, werewolf, zombie, and pirate skeleton in a heavy brushed ink style, trying to emulate the amazing Tales from the Crypt covers by Jack Davis. The band was really fun to work with, and the final result ended up fitting their music perfectly.
Client Testimonial:
This looks amazing and everyone loves it. We’re super excited—it turned out amazing as I knew it would.

Another fun design I worked on for Hulk Hogan’s beach shop in Florida – we used an older design from my portfolio that he really liked and drew in Hulk getting bested by the store’s shark mascot.

Hulk Hogan
Description:
Another fun illustration I got to work on with Hulk Hogan – this one having fun with his character from the Rocky movies, Thunderlips.
Back when real men wore capes, we all witnessed The Ultimate Male vs The Ultimate Meatball fight in Rocky 3. For this design, I wanted to illustrate what Thunderlips’ fight poster might have looked like.

Hulk Hogan
Description:
Another design I created for Hulk Hogan’s beach bar, featuring the great Andre the Giant, out-drinking the Hulkster in a drinking contest on the beach.
It’s always a fun honor to work with TWO sports icons in one design. It was a lot of fun translating the pro wrestlers into a more fun, cartoony style.
Client:
Ron Clark Academy
Description:
The award-winning charter school, the Ron Clark Academy, hired me to create this apparel design based on one of their school mascots, the wolf.
Nothing about the RCA is ordinary, so they wanted a school t-shirt that looked tough and ferocious, with a lot of detail and color. This design was set up for limited color silk-screening.

American bald eagle illustration I created earlier in the year accessorized with US flag wings! I’ve seen a couple bald eagles in the wild around Pennsylvania while kayaking – nice to see them making a comeback – sorry we almost killed you all!

Client:
Technical Tactical
Description:
Logo design I created for the online gun and armor shop, Technical Tactical, featuring their new mascot, this lovely lady holding a giant rifle.
No subtlety necessary! I love jobs like this every once and awhile, where you don’t have to think too much. We knew going in we just needed a badass character, attractive, and deadly, drawn in a colorful and bold style to represent the brand.
Client Testimonial:
It looks great! I really love it

And here’s the finished St. Patrick’s Day skull leprechaun illustration I created – pretty happy with hos this turned out. Hope it’s not too frightening – tried to make the skull friendly, but it’s tricky to make a skull smile.

Client:
Moonshine Bandits
Description:
T-shirt design and poster I was hired to create for the popular band, the Moonshine Bandits, where I was asked to draw the band members as skeletons driving their iconic off-road limo.
We chose to take a Big Daddy Roth approach, and make the characters larger than life so we could really focus on the small characteristics (such as the tattoos, hair-styles, etc) that make them identifiable. Set up for silk-screening with under six colors.
Client Testimonial:
Love! Thanks and look forward to working together again.

All finished with this tiki skateboard painting I did for a private collector. First time I’ve done something like this, so there were a lot of stumbles along the way, but I had a great time with it. The collector wanted the whole thing to be a surprise, so he never even saw a sketch. The first time he saw the deck design was when he opened the package on his front door! That really added a lot to the whole experience.#skateboardart #deckart #skaterart #deckdesign #skateboarding#tikiart #tikibar #beachart #tikitotem #surfart #tikiartist #beach
Client:
Michael Jordan
Description:
I was hired to create this logo for the outdoor sports outfitter, H20 Sports Zone, of a tiki chief riding a paddle board on the ocean.
I love working with tiki characters and making them do fun things – paddle-boarding has become hugely popular, so it was fun to draw him doing that. The logo was created both in color and black and white so that it would be useable in many different applications.
Client Testimonial:
Oh Wow, it looks sick. Thank you!

Client:
Mic Sully
Description:
This big green dog character ripping through a box I drew is for a logo design for the distribution service, Box Busters.
The client wanted something over-the-top and in-your-face to appeal to his customer base, who are anything but subtle. I drew a caricature of his pet. The business is cannabis themed, but we had to find creative ways to not exploit that theme too much.
Client Testimonial:
Wow…. phenomenal….I’m stoked

Blocking in colors on this custom skateboard deck painting I was working on. I used some left-over black light paint for the eyes to really make them glow. You can’t see it in the photo, but I used some metallic gold paint I had for the teeth, and cut it with white, so they have a really cool subtle sheen to them.#skateboardart #deckart #skaterart #deckdesign #skateboarding#tikiart #tikibar #beachart #tikitotem #surfart #tikiartist #beach
Client:
A La Carte
Description:
Album cover design I created for the band A La Carte showing a disgusting restaurant with eyeballs, fingers, brains, rats, and even a toilet.
The band wanted me to create an album cover with a lot of gross details, as if a fine restaurant was being run by a deranged cannibal. The illustration covers the front and back cover. I also had the privilege to design the band’s logo as well, which was made to look like a goopy, drippy mess.
Client Testimonial:
We couldn’t be happier with the atmosphere you captured on this piece.

Finally getting around to creating my own brand of beach-themed merch! Just finished up the TikiCrew logo!

Very excited to share this really unique project. Custom skateboard deck I will be painting on with acrylic for a private collector. He gave me completely free reign, which happens very rarely.

Circle City Foundation
Description:
I was commissioned to design this t-shirt for the Circle City Foundation’s Light the Lamp Against Cancer event which depicts a hockey fan in a hot Indiana summer daydreaming about playing hockey in the wintertime.
It was a pleasure to work with an organization that does so many great things in their fight against cancer. I had a lot of fun putting a little spin on my beach graphics, by illustrating a lake beach in the mountains. This design was set up for full-color, so I could really go nuts.
Client Testimonial:
Fantastic! I’m really happy with how this has turned out. You really captured what I was going for!

I sketched this Dragon-Slaying King for a client, but we ended up going in a different direction, unfortunately.

Silk-screen illustration I created of a rattle snake clutching a rifle for a t-shirt design that should be available at Cabella’s sometime soon – Snakes are so challenging to draw.

Client:
Listenable Records
Description:
This illustration I created for Listenable Records Hellfest album cover is a tribute to the iconic Judas Priest album cover of a mechanical eagle swooping down from the sky.
It was hard to improve on such a masterpiece, so I just tried to reinvent the eagle in my own style, with a little more modern technology.
Illustration I created for my friends at Unlimited Off-Road, a huge Jeep and offroad expo in Louisville Kentucky – There are so many artists that just kill it at painting realistic cars and trucks, that I decided to take a messier, line-art driven approach. Made a really sharp t-shirt and poster!#jeepart #offroad #unlimitedoffroadexpo#art #originalartwork #mangastudio #clipstudiopaint #illustration #tshirtdesign #tshirtart #hireanillustrator #freelanceartist #wacomcintiq
Happy New Year! Here’s another great looking tattoo created with my artwork! These evil mushrooms have always held a warm spot in my cold dead heart.

Kip Bogdan
Description:
This was a really fun series of apparel designs I illustrated for new outdoor lifestyle brand called Camel Toes, featuring an athletic camel mascot interacting with his female fans in different sports and fitness situations.
We tried to squeeze in as much activity, detail, and characters into each design that we could. The mascot himself was carefully designed in a way that made it easy to draw him doing all sorts of different activities. I also designed the logo and text style for the brand.
Client:
Ericsson
Description:
The telecommunications company Ericsson hired me to design two viking mascots that they could use for internal marketing that looked like linemen with their typical set of linemen gear.
It was a fun challenge to merge the two different eras and costume styles. I designed a male and female, and layered everything in a way to make it easy to reuse the graphics for a lot of different applications for the company. We started with a series of three sketches for each mascot, to flesh out how we wanted the character to look, and what pose we wanted them in.

Description:
It’s a fun challenge designing for such a small space (only a couple inches) – so I try to use bold colors and lines so you can really get a feel for the detail, and distinguish each flavor from the next.

Samurai illustration I created for a line of wrestling singlets for Titan Fitness that I was pretty happy with – I kind of wish I could have gone into more detail on this, but we didn’t have much time, so I tried to keep things simpler, which ultimately will print better on the singlet anyway.#wrestlingsinglet #samuraiart #samurai #fitness #fitspo #gainz #getstrong #weightraining #shredding

Hollywood Motor Show
Description:
My artwork has been used on a lot of big things – now I can say that my artwork is on a Monster Truck! I designed this rabid monkey in a racing suit for a Spanish Monster Truck driver that will wrap the entire vehicle. Can’t wait to see this thing caked in mud! A lot of the competing monster trucks were using simple vector graphics, so the driver came to me to create something more detailed and with more character.

Thank you! I really like your design!! You do great work!
