Baseball Russ Logo

Client:

Herman Søberg

Description:

Russ logo design I illustrated of a pumped-up baseball player swinging his bat next to two attractive young ladies. 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

Marvel Superheroes Group Shot T-Shirt

Client:

C-Life Group Ltd.

Marvel

Description:

Talk about a dream job! I was fortunate enough to be hired to create an officially licensed t-shirt of Marvel superheroes to be sold in retail outlets.

The project was an immense challenge, as I tried to incorporate my style into the design, while also making sure to not deviate too much from the art direction from Marvel (which there was quite a lot of!). This was designed in full color, to be separated later for simulated process. Overall, I’m very pleased with how the design turned out, and awestruck that I had this opportunity.

I was thrilled recently to work with Boy Scouts of America illustrating their Bear, Wolf, and Tiger mascots for a catalog that went out to all troops nationwide.

The marketing team hired me to reinvent the existing mascot illustrations in my own style. I was a Cub Scout long ago, so it was a lot of fun to leave a little mark on the organization.

We like the concept of making the blowfish a punk rocker with a mohawk and piercings, including a big hook through his lip.

This isn’t the first time I’ve created turn-arounds for figurines, but it’s the first zombie series. I can’t wait to see how the final molded and painted models turn out. To make this as efficient as possible, I first sent sketches to the client for just the front view. Once approved, I used a 3D model in Manga Studio, positioned it close to the position of the front view, and then turned it to the side and back. I then drew the other angles using that model as reference. Pretty effective little trick!
