The Pinball Expo in Chicago was kind enough to hire me to create the t-shirt for this year – HERE IT IS! There are some things I would fix, but generally very pleased with this. Limited Edition prints available on my website and at my booth at Expo. This piece explores the history of pinball that we all know, when Pinball was accidentally created during an epic battle between the ancient Merlin and a cosmic Quasar Dragon.#pinballexpo #pinballart #pinballartwork #pinball #pinballmachine #playfield #backglass
Very proud of this piece! Put a ton of hours into it. This is my Attack From Mars pinball backglass remake, officially licensed from Williams/Bally. I’m producing these as limited edition Acrylic Backglasses and flexible Translites for use in pinball machines and lightboxes. I filled it full of homages and Easter eggs calling back to some of my favorite Alien properties. Can you find any of them? I will have a batch of these with me at Pinball Expo this week in Chicago. Thanks for all the support on this so far!

Inspired by the iconic movie Vanishing Point’s vintage styled poster, this piece takes the drama further with attack helicopters and chasing police!The design was for apparel and a vehicle wrap for the russefeiring tradition.
