Client:
Unlimited Off-Road
Description:
I was fortunate recently to work with Unlimited Off-Road, a huge jeep, and off-roading event, to design their new logo for their Spring event in Texas. They liked my beach and Tiki graphics, and we chose to create a rocky tropical island in the shape of a jeep emerging from the waters.
This was a fun illustration I created for a client for their apparel brand that caters to military families. The design, Military Brats, depicts the children of Navy, Marines, Army, and Airforce soldiers emerging from a moving box on a base, coping with the uncertain life of constant upheaval from base to base.It was a fun challenge to depict each child in a way that captures the aspects of each particular branch of the military.Illustrated by Brian Allen, https://www.flylanddesigns.com/#military #cartoon #mangastudio #photoshop #illustration #art #instaart #instaartist

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.
Really enjoying working on this caveman composition for a client – can’t wait to ink this! #caveman #sabertooth #art #mangastudio #clipstudiopaint #illustration #tshirtdesign #freelance #hire
Client:
Adam Bravery
Description:
Character designs I illustrated to fit into an existing library of art for an animated series pitch called Adam Bravery. It was fun and challenging to work with a simpler, flatter coloring and lineart style (to make it easier to animate). Can’t wait to see these characters come to life!
Happy to share the third and final illustration for my totem skate deck series. Thanks so much for all the positive feedback on the others!

Honey Badger illustration I created for an archery club in Australia called the “Van Diemen Archers.” If you don’t like this, Honey Badger don’t care.
Last week I posted a Union General – here’s the Confederate version. I don’t explore digital painting very much, so it’s a struggle for me. But I’m pretty happy with how this turned out. Any suggestions? #art #mangastudio #clipstudiopaint #illustration #civilwarart #freelance #hire #skull

Had a lot of fun drawing this tribute to some of my favorite cartoon characters growing up: Popeye, Stimpy, Homer, Beavis, and Bugs. I wanted to draw them all melting together and loose. I drew this on paper with pencil, scanned it in, and colored it in Clip Studio Paint – completely skipping the ink stage. Really happy with the result.

Character drawing I created of a gang members looking tough and brandishing weapons on the street. Trying to work on a style to draw people in that still captures some attitude and wackiness.

#Festival #poster I designed for Squatchfest this Saturday in Kane, PA featuring the most famous #Sasquatch #BigFoot himself coming out of hiding and playing with a lot of great bands. Had a ton of fun with this – great to give back to my once temporary home-town.⠀
Here’s a digital painting I created last year in CLIP STUDIO PAINT that I’m pretty happy with of a Union General – I created a Confederate Genearl too, thought it be cool to hang them side by side in a faceoff. #art #mangastudio #clipstudiopaint #illustration #freelance #hire #skull #civilwarart #union
Hey folks, I’ll be broadcasting live today comparing the iPad Pro to the Wacom Mobile Studio Pro around 3pm EST on YouTube and Facebook – please join and ask questions!
Ok, last post on this, I’m just excited about this one. Here’s a shot of one of the ways my artwork was used in the #Activision social media campaign for the launch of#CallofDuty #Zombies in Spaceland. Each day, another #zombie appeared in the countdown. Fans were given an app that put a zombie in their selfie, encouraging them to look like they were being eaten by the zombie. My job is cooler than yours.Illustrated by Brian Allen, https://www.flylanddesigns.com/#mangastudio #photoshop #illustration #tshirt #art #instaart #instaartist #picoftheday #igdaily #followme

Seed-grower and packager Death Row Seeds hired me to illustrate this logo design for their website and packaging, of a friendly escaped convict proudly showing off his horticulture skills.
Here’s another #zombie I illustrated for the #CallofDuty #Zombies in Spaceland marketing campaign. Such a fantastic feeling to be asked to illustrate a property I love in my own style. That deal with the devil I made is really paying off!Illustrated by Brian Allen, https://www.flylanddesigns.com/#characterdesign #mangastudio #photoshop #illustration #art #instaart #instaartist #picoftheday #igdaily #followme
One of my favorite projects ever for #Activision, for a series I’ve been a huge fan of. The clients wanted their different #CallofDuty 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.

Vinyl wrapped zombie helmet I illustrated for Blaze Artworks’ new line of monster themed motorcycle helmets.
It was a fun challenge to try to figure out how to illustrate something in two dimensions that would ultimately wrap around a spherical 3D object. The client was kind enough to send me a helmet that I was able to physically trace and photograph to create a template, using some tricks I learned at my first professional art job at XGX Racing more than a decade ago. Thrilled with how this turned out!
Client:
Hogan’s Beach Shop
Description:
Super humbling to be able to work for one of my childhood heroes, Hulk Hogan. He owns a beach shop down in Florida, and liked my colorful beach graphics. We created a few designs for his shop that involves their Shark mascot punking the Hulkster in different ways. Very easy guy to work with, and tons of fun, BROTHER!
Client:
Fumeine
Description:
Pleasure to work with this vaping company in the UK, to design their new labels for a line of vaping ejuice. I thought it would be cool to create this slightly creepy monk character – graphics were set up to fit both wide and tall labels, leaving room for a gazillion disclaimers and warning text that is required in that area.

Seed cultivator Hammerhead Genetics hired me recently to design a new logo and mascot for their marijuana seed growing business.
We experimented with a few different looks and poses for the shark, and landed on this happier fella you see here.
Merry Christmas to my friends, family, clients, and even my bitter enemies! This was something I drew with the new iPad Pro 12.9 using the new Clip Studio Paint app. At first I wasn’t a big fan of it, but I’m starting to come around. Trying to decide if I should keep this or the Wacom Mobile Studio pro, got another week to tinker.
This is one of my favorite #albumcovers I’ve ever illustrated – I did this for the band #Neverdawn – and relax, this was done before the recent election, so no political statements here.

Hey guys, if you missed it, I did a review on why I didn’t like the iPad Pro – I’m actually giving it another shot now, since Clip Studio Paint was released for the iPad – still unsure, but I’ll let you know how that turns out https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yDsalLCa2ZY&t=27s

I illustrated the marketing poster and t-shirt for this 50’s inspired diner called Anne’s Family Diner, owned and operated by a husband and wife team whose likenesses are illustrated here.
They were a pleasure to work with, and were really happy with how it turned out.
Hey everyone, I am going to be going live and reviewing Clip Studio Paint for the ipad pro at 2:30 pm eastern
Tis the season for buying stuff – it’s patriotic. It’s your DUTY. So I’ve marked everything down 15% in my art shop this month – makes a great gift for all the demented and sick people on your list! https://www.flylanddesigns.com/shop/

New line of e-juice from Adrenaline Vapors that I illustrated the labels for, featuring a has-been 80’s headbanger screaming into his microphone and dropping his gut.
When we were finished, I provided the labels in a variety of different colors to be used for each flavor in the line.

#Album cover called “Turn People Into Food” I illustrated for the #heavymetal #band #CrustyOldToad featuring the first giant toad monk holding a plate of body parts that I’ve ever drawn!The band and I didn’t take the art too seriously – we wanted something dark but still funny and absurd. I had more fun drawing the uppity aristocrat characters puking their guts out than anything else I think. Check out their music:https://crustyoldtoad.bandcamp.com/
