Some line-art close-ups of the Breaking Bad pinball playfield retheme I worked on for Tim Fife. Easily one of my favorite shows of all time – it was fun rewatching the show as I worked on this – so many details you miss on the first watch-through.#breakingbadart #pinballart #pinballartwork #pinball #pinballmachine #playfield #backglass

The Bam Box
Description:
So excited to share this Game of Thrones illustration I created for Bam Box, featuring Daenerys Targaryen and the Night King and their dragons.
Every month, the geek loot box company, Bam Box, sends out awesome surprise packages to their subscribers featuring artwork and other merch from the latest pop culture obsessions. They gave me a ton of freedom with this commission. I thought it would be cool to draw the two characters and their dragons as opposing forces, and highlight the blue and red dicotomy of fire vs. ice. When I was finished, I signed close to a 1000 of the prints to be sent in their loot box.
Client:
Cavity Colors
Description:
Cavity Colors hired me to create this officially licensed t-shirt illustration of the Book of the Dead, the Necronomicon, from one of my favorite horror movies ever, Evil Dead 2.
I took great care to make the illustration look like the specific book from the movie (the books all look slightly different in all the other movies). I made sure to use limited colors so it would silk-screen nicely. Very happy with how this turned out!
Client Testimonial:
I’m so excited for this design. Looks so good!

Diamond Wraps
Description:
This wrap design I created using my tiki artwork won first place in a vehicle wrap competition 360 Carshow!
Diamond wraps did a hell of a great job printing this on vinyl and wrapping their beautiful truck in the design. They even customized an amazing bamboo truck bed that looks just beautiful. Using their photos and measurements, I created a template of the vehicle, and carefully designed the text and artwork layout to fill the unique shape of this low-rider truck. So proud to have won first place!
Client Testimonial:
Thanks again, Brian. I’ve been following you for a long time and have wanted to get this done through you forever, so it’s definitely and honor to have you be a part of this project.

Sabertooth tiger I illustrated for a client last year – don’t think I ever posted the final piece – I love working on projects like this, with a really simple concept, which allows me to just enjoy the lineart and details.#sabertoothtiger #animalart #vectorart #art #originalartwork #mangastudio #clipstudiopaint #illustration #hireanillustrator #freelanceartist #wacomcintiq
Client:
Tim Fife
Description:
A private collector hired me to completely redesign his pinball playfield with a custom Breaking Bad theme.
We started the process by photographing the original Judge Dredd pinball table, and scanning it into the computer. I then started carefully drawing the different Breaking Bad characters into positions that would make sense for the game. I tried to draw as many characters as I could fit, like Gus Fring, Hank, Jesse Pinman, Mike, Saul Goodman, Skyler, Tuco, and of course, Heisenberg. The client had a bunch of great ideas, such as adding in the pink teddy bear, and the fly that drove Walter White on a frantic quest around the lab to extinguish it.
After the illustrations were complete, I laid out all the text, arrows, and ramps.
The project was insanely time-consuming, but I’m very proud of it. It will now be carefully printed onto the wood. Can’t wait to see it as part of a the whole Breaking Bad custom pinball cabinet!
My friends at Bayside Pinball Club on the other side of the world commissioned me to create this t-shirt design for their new club shirts. These guys were a pleasure to work with!

Here’s the finished tribute alternative pinball backglass I created with Back Alley Creations that we are debuting at the Texas Pinball Festival this weekend! The whole piece took over 35 hours, and is a reimagining of the amazing classic Monster Bash artwork. We printed them on full-size acrylic backglasses – looks amazing in a lightbox or on the machine. Available in my shop now!I snuck in some of my favorite modern hovie monsters (Leatherface, Chucky, Freddy, etc) into the crowd.

Client:
Aunt Sal’s Custard
Description:
I illustrated this logo design for a desert brand in Australia called Aunt Sal’s Custard. We thought it would be fun to create a character for the brand that would personify it moving forward. The client wanted a chaotic, fun, and colorful cartoon character to be the face of the brand. I drew her in a kitchen of flying pots and slinging custard.
The logo design was created as a vector to ensure it would print crisp at any size.
Client Testimonial:
Thanks once again for the awesome drawing your work never ceases to amaze me! You pretty much drew exactly what I was thinking in my head but better haha!

Trump, Putin, Kim Jun Un hanging out as best friends drinking and smoking. 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.

Here’s another detail shot of the the latest pinball project I’m working on. As many have guessed, I’m creating a tribute illustration to the awesome Monster Bash machine.

I grabbed this awesome Eddie mask at @monstermaniacon this weekend! Powerslave was my first @ironmaiden album, loaned to me by my heavy metal dealer, Josh back in High School, so it has a special place in my heart, and now on my shelf!
Taking orders now on my Zombie Headphones March’s LE Artist Series disc. Printed on Metallic Foil, on high-quality Discraft discs. Only 50 will ever be made. Only the 10 I sell directly will have my signature. Hand numbered and signed COA included. I found a way to reduce the production costs, so I reduced the price to $32.99.

Check out the size of my Alien Pinball Backglass! Message me if you want one! A while back, I was commissioned to create a backglass for the official Alien pinball machine. But due to a gypsy curse, the company fell apart before these could be massively produced, and I never received the backglass I was promised (frowny face). But I ran into a company that produced one for me after all this time, and it’s so cool! It’s printed on 1/8" thick translucent acrylic, so light shines through it. I need to build a lightbox for it.We made a couple if anyone wants one.#alien #pinball #backglassart #alienpinball #translite

Here’s a snapshot of the finished pirate skull design I created for Harley Davidson – I experimented here with a process of penciling the artwork digitally, and then coloring and painting underneath, and then smoothing out the pencil lines until they become seamless.

You may remember me posting last year that I designed the LE Alien pinball backglass. It’s a long story, but the company fell apart before it was massively produced (due to a family curse), and I never received the backglass I was supposed to get :( But I found a company that produced one for me, and I just received it. It’s STUNNING! 26" square, 1/8" inch thick reverse-printed on acrylic translucent plastic. The colors are so vibrant when backlit!I have it in my window right now like a demented stain-glass window. Going to build a light box for it soon. If anyone is interested in getting one, PM me.#alienpinball #pinballart #pinballartwork #pinball #pinballmachine #playfield #backglass

Unlimited Off-Road
Description:
I was commissioned to illustrate these two detailed, accurate maps for two Unlimited Off-Road Expo events, as well as the t-shirt for this gathering of die-hard jeep and atv enthusiasts. The map was a really fun challenge, as we had to piece together satellite maps, floorpans, and previous event photos to map out the event. For the t-shirt, we wanted to create something that was very hand-drawn and grungy, in contrast to a lot of the clean, photo-driven car show designs.

Arctic FX
Description:
Grim Reaper gunslinger illustration I created for a vinyl graphic wrap for snowmobiles sold by Arctic FX for a new brand they are developing. I illustrated a skeleton gunslinger on the front, and a creepy western-styled Grim Reaper on the sides. I love designing for vehicles, because they are such oddly shaped canvases to fill. The new line of graphics will be branded “FlyLand Designs” in a partnership I was fortunate enough to work out with them. Feeling very privileged to be included in their stable of really skilled artists.

Logo for a gaming company called Tiki Tantrum I created of a tiki chief holding a shrunken head.
This job was perfect for me, since I love drawing tiki art so much. The client really dug the style of another tiki character I had created, so I tried my best to expand on that and make it the best one I’ve done so far. The logo is being used as the intro screen on several games and apps developed but he company.

Silver City Mobile Detailing
Description:
Vinyl boat wrap of a Sugar Skull girl with tentacles for hair and Medusa on a bed or roses I created for Silver City Mobile Detailing.
This might be the most complex vinyl wrap graphic I’ve ever worked on! So much time went into the detail of every snake, and every tentacle. To make things more complex, the size of the illustration was over 10 feet long! I created the line art in Clip Studio Paint, and then colored everything as a vector in Adobe Illustrator so everything would print nice and crisp.
