It’s always so humbling to see total strangers with my artwork tattooed on their flesh! @artist_dennis_lehmann Dennis Lehmann did an incredible job recreating my tiki guy mascot. I also really appreciate when tattoo artists like this ask my permission first – so many do. I’m planning on designing something similar for myself.#tikiart #tikitattoo #tatoo #tiki
Just had these pop-up banners made, and I’m so happy with how they turned out. I’m finally going to get away from my desk and start attending conventions – I’ve got a few at the end of the year – a mix of comic conventions, horror conventions, and a cannabis convention in Las Vegas I’ll be attending. Nervous and excited to see how that all goes. Anyone have a reccommendation for conventions near Pennsylvania? #conventionartist #mangastudio #clipstudiopaint #illustration #tshirtdesign #tshirtart #hireanillustrator #freelanceartist #wacomcintiq

Pacman late for work. I’ve been drawing a lot more in my sketchbook lately, partly because of the local Drink and Draw I helped organize. I love it! Makes me feel kind of silly for buying a $1000 digital sketchbook (talking about you, iPad Pro). #pacman #art #originalartwork #mangastudio #clipstudiopaint #illustration #tshirtdesign #tshirtart #hireanillustrator #freelanceartist #pentelbrushpen
I drew up this friendly creature for my protmotional mailers and sticker packs. Printed them out on some nice parchment-style envelopes I grabbed in my laser printer. Turned out great! the original envelope drawn with a @Pentelbrushpen ! #creatureart #promotionalart #evnelopeart #illustration #art #instaart #instaartist #hire

Look Ma! It’s my hand and artwork on the Tee-Vee! Here’s an excerpt of the nationally-televised commercial that my artwork and adorable little raptor claws were in (shown here drawing). I’m so lucky and humbled to be a part of this awesome project. Did anyone see the commercial? It would have aired November 2017. #chickfila #rivalrestuarant #auburntigers #georgiabulldogs #mascotdesign
Just got this skull t-shirt design I created for @takeabreakclothing and it turned out perfect! They did an amazing job printing this thing. It’s always satisfying to see that my attempt at separating colors was helpful. #skullart #fishingart #t-shirtdesign #fishingtshirt #silkscreenart
What should we draw tonight at the Drink and Draw in State College PA at Champs? I was thinking Robots might make a good theme. Please share your ideas! If you’re in the area, please come join us! #drinkanddrawsc #drinkanddraw #drawing

Illustration I created in @clipstudiopaints of some Greek Gods. As a kid, I was always fascinated by greek mythology – I’d love to see a Netflix series retell the different stories but in a gritty, dark way. #mascot #characterdesign #clipstudiopaint #mangastudio #illustration #hire
#Witchdoctor #Shaman #character I created for a team #logo – any suggestions on the coloring? I’m not sure if the green fire works.

My friend’s at #HalfTimeBrewing Company recently hired me to illustrate this detailed single-color t-shirt design for a huge #beer festival they were attending featuring two drunk #pirates floating in a growler bottle on the open sea.

My new logo! After beating my head against my desk for months trying to refurbish my logo, I reached out to my friend and super talented artist @absorb81 to create this awesome hand-drawn text style for my brand. I then updated the floating island (Fly-Land, get it now?) mark, and here we have our new logo! I really needed something that worked better as a watermark and was more condensed and bold. Craig did an amazing job, thanks buddy. I’m SO EXCITED about where things are headed over here. Each new year brings some crazy new adventure and chance to prove myself. Any thoughts on the new logo? #freelanceart #freelanceartist #logodesign

Custom #TShirtdesign I created for the #HotRod Power Tour #KansasCity 2017. Always a fun challenge to draw cars, which can be very hard to get right.
