Client:

M.A.S. Productions

 

Description:

I illustrated this dark detailed illustration of an epic battle between Freddy, Leatherface, Nosferatu, The Excorsist, Frankenstein, Kirk Hammet, Ozzy, Alice Cooper, Corey Taylor, and more for a documentary on the history of Metal and Horror.

I was hired by Producer Mike Schiff of M.A.S. Productions to create an illustration of some of the most iconic figures in horror and heavy metal engaging in an epic battle.  The image was used to promote a documentary they produced which explores the history of heavy metal music, horror films, and how the two genres have merged together over time.

The documentary features interviews with Alice Cooper, Kirk Hammett, Corey Taylor, plus a ton of other heavy metal stars, along with huge names in the horror industry.  It was so great getting the chance to illustrate these iconic figures, including Freddy, Leatherface, Nosferatu, Ozzy, Alice Cooper, Kirk Hammet, and more.  Pieces of the illustration were also used for an animation promoting the documentary.

 

Client Testimonial:

Incredible job on this. I knew you’d create something amazing , and holy crap is this good.

Angry militant skeleton mascot with army helmet for drag racing.

I created this mascot and logo design for a team of drag-racer’s new line of merchandise and apparel. The client wanted a tough, dark, militant mascot character that could later be drawn in other situations and shenanigans. We went through a few sketches at the beginning that were a bit too light, and eventually arrived at RAD, the skeletal, drag-racing warrior you see before you! The mascot and logo was prepared for both limited color silk-screening and full-color printing, to maximize the usage.

I was hired by an apparel brand creating a series of T-Shirts featuring the unofficial football mascot of Stanford, the Stanford Tree! I was asked to design the mascot sitting in a pose inspired by The Thinker, with the rock replaced by a crumpled Notre Dame mascot. If you want a drawing challenge, try making a tree look mean. It’s not easy! Trees are usually pretty pleasant.

All-over-print dye-sublimated wrestling singlet design I created for BlueChip wrestling. This design was inspired by futurustic combat like in Gears of War. We created this future soldier character standing in front of a ruined cityscape. I reached out to a talented digital painter named Luciano Fleitas to help me with the background because I was in a crunch. I’m really happy with how this came together.

I created this as part of a series of wrestling singlet designs for BlueChip’s summer catalog. The designs will also be available on fight shorts. I find it so enjoyable working with dye sublimation, because the color and detail reproduction is fantastic, and I don’t have to worry about the head-scratching that comes from working with silk-screen.

I created these concept illustrations of a steampunk family of adventurers for an educational publisher called Bogardpress. The character designs will be used to illustrate their educational materials and lessons. Each year the team uses a different theme and concept to tie their lessons together. I really enjoyed the whole process, from developing the characters in sketches, to coloring and rendering the final versions. I tried to add a bit of style into the characters to keep them from becoming generic. I especially enjoyed creating the robot character.

I really enjoyed the whole process, from developing the characters in sketches, to coloring and rendering the final versions. I tried to add a bit of style into the characters to keep them from becoming generic. I especially enjoyed creating the robot character.

The IAFF recently commissioned me to create a poster for an upcoming rally in Ottawa, IL, the location of the historical Lincoln v. Douglas debates. I thought it would be fun to draw Lincoln and Douglas speeding through time on two motorcycles swinging chains and pipes at each other. I’m a historian at heart. The IAFF Motorcycle Group mascot is seen far back in the historic streets of Ottawa.

I was thrilled to be hired to create artwork for a new line of apparel for Smith & Wesson, featuring silk-screen illustrations of big angry eagles. It was a really fun challenge drawing the eagles, which I’ve always found difficult. Need to invest in a pet eagle for reference. The designs all needed to stay under six colors, which is always a challenge as soon as you introduce an american flag into the design (which eats up three colors right away). I used halftones wherever I could to limit the total number of colors.

The designs will be available in Smith & Wesson’s catalog, as well as in many retailers, such as Cabela’s.

I was recently hired to conceptualize and illustrate a team of Superhero zombies to be laser-engraved into skateboards by Revenga. It was challenging to pump a ton of detail in the board, while making sure to keep the lines bold enough as to not cause much trouble in the engraving process.

While designing, I also had to structure the design so the layout could be changed to fit a T-Shirt as well. I made sure to keep the characters masked on separate layers, that way moving them around at the end was relatively easy.

We also created a silk-screen color version for boards and shirts, using around 6 colors.

They look just as amazing! Everyone is giving compliments about the graphic because it’s very cool!

Always a pleasure working with my friends at Listenable Records. For this year’s sampler featuring the labels best tracks, we chose to pay tribute to the classic Defenders of the Faith album cover from Judas Priest. I thought it would be cool to draw a samurai in the same art style and color scheme as that record, and really give it a nice retro theme, with bright primary colors. Really dig the way this came out – might make a great sticker.

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.

All-over-print dye-sublimated wrestling singlet design I created for BlueChip wrestling. This design is easily my favorite in the seires, and also the most time-consuming. I illustrated these giant skulls made up of probably a hundred smaller skulls, and lit the whole thing up by their glowing eyes. It was challenging, but I’m thrilled with how it turned out.

I created this as part of a series of wrestling singlet designs for BlueChip’s summer catalog. The designs will also be available on fight shorts. I find it so enjoyable working with dye sublimation, because the color and detail reproduction is fantastic, and I don’t have to worry about the head-scratching that comes from working with silk-screen.

This is a fun album cover illustration I created for a hard rock band called the Jokers for their new album, Hurricane. The idea was to have the band in a classic-looking car flying through the air to their next gig, and causing a hurricane behind them, destroying London below them. I tried to hide a lot of detail into the design swirling around them in the hurricane, like roadies, amps, guitars, and british artifacts. The band needed the album art in a really short amount of time, but we pulled it off in time, and they were quite happy with the result.

The band needed the album art in a really short amount of time, but we pulled it off in time, and they were quite happy with the result.

Album cover illustration of The Jokers in a hurricane and rock and roll.

This is a fun album cover illustration I created for a hard rock band called the Jokers for their new album, Hurricane.

Description:
T-Shirt illustration I created of a crazed A-10 Thunderbolt warplane come to life in a dog-fight. This was done for a series of shirts celebrating different marijuana strains. The shirt is printed on 100% hemp, and available in a variety of groovy colors.

It was a pleasure working with the folks at #Bongjour. They gave me a lot of freedom with the design, and I’m really happy with how it turned out. Set up for direct-to-garment, full-color printing.

I created this mad scientist character for an auto-repair shop whose specialty is custom built choppers and hotrods. The brand wanted a dark but playful design that illustrated them as a blend of mechanic and mad scientist. I thought it would be cool to show a frankenstein-ed hotrod on the operating table behind the mad scientist, as he raises his creation up to the lightning. This design was created for direct-to-garment printing.

I designed and illustrated this angry gargoyle busting out of its stone skin for a line of ATV and sled wraps put out by 393 Components. It was a challenge to position everything and design it in a way to make the design look interesting on as many different vehicle types and shapes as possible. I kept all the elements in layers so that the design could be modified if necessary to fit different wraps. I needed to make it look as different as possible from a previous gargoyle design I had done, so I came up with the idea of having the gargoyle a green-skinned creature bursting from stone, as if it was coming to life.

It was really cool to be working with graphic decals again for ATVs, because my first full-time position as an artist was at a custom decal shop called XGX Racing.

This is a T-Shirt illustration I created for a new brand called The Reno Life, which celebrates and promotes the work of several DIY TV personalities. The illustration features caricatures of DIY celebrities Anitra Mecadon, Jason Cameron, Chris Grundy, Jeff Devlin, and Stephen Fanuka on the beach. It was a challenge to fit all of these characters into such a tight space, while still keeping them recognizable.

I wanted to create a an illustration as a sample to try to get work from young-adult fantasy book publishers, a market that I’d like to do more work in. I chose a scene with an adventurer in an Aztec-like jungle temple so I could draw some funny and creepy totems – and I even got to sneak a skull in there too! I like to try different styles and themes whenever I can – keeps things from getting stale. I’m happy with how this turned out, and would like to do more in this genre.

I was hired by Strange Kids Club Magazine to illustrated a promotional poster featuring characters from their upcoming magazine. I loved every second of working on this. If you’re strange like me, and born in the 80s, then I don’t need to explain what’s going on here. The concept revolved around a fictional character called Bronarr, Space Barbarian (!) – loosely based on 80s Saturday morning cartoons like Masters of the Universe, as well as camp classic 70s retro sci-fi/fantasy films like Hell Comes To Frogtown.

Album cover I illustrated for the Brazilian heavy metal band John Wayne (named after John Wayne Gacy – not the other guy). It was a great pleasure working on this with the band, as they gave me a lot of freedom, and I set upon the design without much planning, and tried to let it flow. This album cover is the first in a set of two albums, that when placed together will form one cohesive image. This album represents the dark side, while the following album will have a similar design, but mirrored, and “lighter.”

This illustration was for a private commission for a fan’s husband (I believe as an anniversary present). She needed a large illustration to fit on two facing panels in a hallway, and wanted it to be fun and creepy at the same time. We came up with this idea of drawing a giant killer bee wielding a chainsaw in a ruined city as bystanders flee in fear. I chose colors that would compliment the existing scheme in their home. She was thrilled with how it turned out. I printed them out on two large 36 inch square panels. I’m thinking about making stickers of the chainsaw-bee.

I created this mascot and logo design for a team of drag-racer’s new line of merchandise and apparel. The client wanted a tough, dark, militant mascot character that could later be drawn in other situations and shenanigans. We went through a few sketches at the beginning that were a bit too light, and eventually arrived at RAD, the skeletal, drag-racing warrior you see before you! The mascot and logo was prepared for both limited color silk-screening and full-color printing, to maximize the usage.

The mascot and logo was prepared for both limited color silk-screening and full-color printing, to maximize the usage.

I created this illustration of a skeleton with a sledgehammer for a new apparel brand showcasing the work of DIY television personalities, called The Reno Life. I tried to add a lot of my own style to the skeleton, and keep it tough while not scaring the kiddies away. We did a female version as well – and I found drawing skeletons to look female is a bit challenging when you don’t have many… parts…. to work with. This design was set up for full-color direct-to-garment printing.

This is a very detailed illustrated album cover I created for the heavy metal band called DemonHead. The idea was to have a troubled kid rolling a 12-sided die that causes catastrophe behind him. With each roll bring a different type of destruction. I tried to have fun with it and cram in as much chaos as I could.

Client Testimonial:
Thanks so much for the work I think it came out really well and will look awesome. It was a pleasure working with you. Couldn’t be happier with the end result!
-Dave Lowes, DemonHead

Revco, a welding apparel and supply company hired me to illustrate a new t-shirt for their catalog with the America cranked up to 11. Waving flag. Check. Giant screaming eagle. Check. The shirt was printed direct-to-garment, so I could really unleash the colors. Really happy with how this turned out, even though I struggled a bit at first to get the eagle right.

I was recently hired by Ring Thip to reinvent their packaging for their Thai Tea.  They wanted a bolder and more contemporary design, as they make a push to reach more retail markets.

I found this project to be very challenging, because the subject matter was so different, and I had limited space to make an impact.

Each flavor will have a different illustration emerging from the ring.
