Wanted to share this – one of the highlights for me last year was having my artwork published in the Showcase 100 book, which featured artwork from 99 amazing artists, and me! And by the divine powers of alphabetically order, I'm on the first page! Always works great (except when I was in gym class and always had to go first).Illustrated by Brian Allen, FlylandDesigns.com#mangastudio #showcase100 #littlechimpsociety #tshirt #art #instaart #instaartist #picoftheday #igdaily #followme Work in progress from the desk of illustrator Brian Allen

Worked on a design with pretty different subject matter for me. Sometimes I have trouble blending a line-art style with things that are meant to be realistic.

I'm so excited to be sharing this – some of my work was published in Black and White Volume 2 by Out of Step Books, a collection of artwork from some of my favorite artists, like Freak City and Ben Kwok (Bioworkz).

Here's a new piece of artwork I created in Manga Studio 5 for a t-shirt design. Long story, but the client who commissioned this ended up being a Die Hard movie villain – so this design won't get printed.

One of my inspirations for inking is the artist Steve Becker, who refers to himself as a "killustrator." I just got this awesome book he put together with a one-of-a-kind original ink sketch on the cover. The whole book is over a hundred pages of his realistic dinosaur ink drawings, which he has become known for. Please check him out – the dude is just exploding with talent.Illustrated by Brian Allen, FlylandDesigns.com#stevebecker #ink #shark#mangastudio #photoshop #illustration #tshirt #art #instaart #instaartist #picoftheday #igdaily #followme Work in progress from the desk of illustrator Brian Allen

What's the secret to illustration? Cigars. A big fat cigar works every time. This is a character design I created for a game I've been working on with a client on and off.

This is an older design, but I don't think I shared it on Instagram. Had the idea of Kermit and Miss Piggy as a pimp and ho, because my brain never graduated from the 6th grade.

Here's something really bizarre I created a while back for the musicians #WeChief. This is a character they created called Booty Clap Soldier – we thought it would be funny to use my children's book style to render such a strange character. Work in progress from the desk of illustrator Brian Allen

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 printed them out on two large 36 inch square panels. #killerbee #chainsaw #mangastudio #photoshop #illustration #tshirt #art #instaart #instaartist #picoftheday #igdaily #followme Work in progress from the desk of illustrator Brian Allen
