I had fun creating the characters from the Purple Gang for this Russ Logo. 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 can FINALLY post this! Official Alien illustration I created for the backglass of the new Limited Edition Pinball Machine licensed from 20th Century Fox and built by Heighway Pinball!!! Exclamation points!!⠀We had to turn this around on a super quick deadline, racing to release the artwork on Alien Day in 2017. HR Giger, the genius behind the Alien creature concept, was one of my very first artistic inspirations when I was a kid, so it was a great compliment to be able to play around in his shadow a little.#pinballart #pinball #alienpinball #alien #giger #backglass #heighway New Artwork From Instagram

Description:
Weird and fun commission poster I illustrated of a Venus Fly Trap emerging from a toilet in a decrepit bathroom chomping on a guitar.
The artwork was done on request for a private collector who packed this piece with symbolism that probably only makes sense to him, haha. But sometimes, that can be the most fun, to just draw and explore, and not be so pinned down to reality. This was created completely in Manga Studio, and I published a live digital painting demonstration on YouTube as I worked.

#License my #art as a #tattoo, it will change your life! A lot of fine people have been getting my #artwork tattooed on their bodies, and man, what a huge compliment that is! But a lot of the images they’ve been using as reference were low-resolution, which doesn’t always produce the best result. SO – I’ve set up a product in my shop that will grant you permission to tattoo my artwork for a small $35 USD fee – I’ll also send a high-res version of the artwork so that the tattoo will look as sweet as possible. I shamelessly stole this idea from two fantastic artists, Absorb 81 and Chris Ryniak https://www.flylanddesigns.com/shop/⠀#tattoo #flash #lineart #art New Artwork From Instagram

Client:
Activision, Call of Duty
Description:
I was hired to create a series of illustrations for Activision’s Call of Duty Zombies video game used during a promotional campaign they ran on social media during the game’s launch.
One of my favorite projects ever, for a series I’ve been a huge fan of. The clients wanted their different 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.
I’m going to be coloring this illustration LIVE on my YouTube and Twitch channels in about 20 minutes today. #art #mangastudio #psychedlic New Artwork From Instagram

We cycled through several different compositions and angles until we got it just right.
