Angry Angler Fish Logo Design

The anti-phishing and computer technicians at Phishlure hired me to create their new logo. They wanted to use an evil-looking anglerfish as their mascot, symbolizing the nasty habits hackers use to lure in their innocent customers. I really wanted to color this in a non-traditional way and use a pretty wild color scheme, and wanted to really add a lot of nastiness to the angler. I provided the logo in several different color schemes – all the way from a simple one-color logo, to a vibrant full-color version.

Ring Thip Thai Tea Packaging

I was recently hired by Ring Thip to reinvent their packaging for their Thai Tea. They wanted a bolder and more contemporary design, as they make a push to reach more retail markets.

I found this project to be very challenging, because the subject matter was so different, and I had limited space to make an impact.

Each flavor will have a different illustration emerging from the ring.

Hockey Themed Website Background Illustration

I was hired to illustrated this custom website background for a sports review outlet called 2BC. The client wanted a detailed illustration of a huge hockey fight in an arena. The illustration was set up so that the different hockey players and refs in the brawl could move along with the content of the site, independently of the background. I created the artwork in Manga Studio, and colored it in Adobe Photoshop.

Skull T-Shirt Design for MMA Apparel Brand

I was hired to illustrate this T-Shirt design for one of my favorite clients, Darkhorse Fightwear, for their new line of MMA apparel. The design was set up for silk-screen using three colors, and illustrated in Manga Studio and Adobe Photoshop. The design was inspired by a previous illustration I created a few years ago – it was fun to revisit it and test out some new skills while illustrating it. The design features a skull in the center with wings and chains surrounding.

Evil Gargoyle Illustration for Dye-Sublimated Uniform

Bluechip Athletics hired me to design and illustrate graphics for their Aggression apparel line for wrestlers. The first design was this evil gargoyle perched on a rooftop in a storm. Since the wrestling singlets are printed with dye-sublimation, I could design in full-color, and cover every inch of the fabric.

Comic Book Vehicle Wrap

I created this full graphic wrap for a company that manufactures office scanning equipment in conjunction with Twist Creative Parners. The client wanted to wrap their hummer in a design that would attract attention, and make their product look cool. We came up with the idea of having an alien invastion blasting a hole through an office cubicle, with the office scanners sitting in a pile of wreckage, perfectly in tact. I drew up two comic book style office characters to tie everything together.

The finished graphics were printed on vinyl and will be wrapped to cover every inch of the black humvee. It was a pleasure working on this!

Superhero Bar Poster

Custom illustration I created for a bar in the UK called The Parish. We designed their superhero mascot to be present on all their advertising, posters, and signage at the bar. In this poster advertising their food selection, I illustrated the hero lifting a large tray of food for an attractive waitress. It was a lot of fun to draw all the details for the pile of food.

Drawn and inked in Manga Studio, and colored in Adobe Photoshop.

Comic Book Zombie Splash Page

Custom illustration I created for a website splash page and fantasy game. I was asked to draw the game’s heroes, who are infected with a mutating virus, along with their sidekicks: a zombie jaguar and a zombie bear. The client and I invisioned a world where not even the plant-life has escaped being mutated by the zombie virus.
I created this in Manga Studio and Adobe Photoshop.

Tiki Man Motocross Rider T-Shirt Illustration

This is a fun illustration I created of a tiki man riding a dirtbike for the brand Accidental Broadcast. The brand centers around a popular Youtube personality, Kalani Prince, who films the island of Hawaii from the back of his dirtbike.

Kalani gave me a lot of freedom with the design. Since this was the brand’s first design, I thought it would be a good idea to introduce his personality as this Tiki character, with an attractive hula girl hanging tight.

I also designed the a logo to match the design for his brand.

Chess Medieval Themed Vaping eJuice Labels

I was hired to illustrate and design this new line of eJuice vaping flavors for Valgous. The client approached me with the idea of having each flavor represented by six different chess pieces. I thought it would be cool to illustrate the labels as if the characters were from a dark, fantasy kingdom.

In addition, I also designed the logo for the series, Valgous: Slayer, and even designed the point-of-purchase display. The series will be distributed and sold to vaping outlets around the country.

We are also planning a line of t-shirts featuring the characters to help promote the new line.

Evil Superhero T-Shirt Illustrat

Evil Superhero T-Shirt Illustration

I was recently hired to design a new T-Shirt for the Yellow Stripe Records brand in Portugal. After working with a couple of concepts, we decided on the idea of having a Superhero has gone mad, and destroyed the city he once he protected. Deep! He’s crouched on a pile of wrecked keyboards, speakers, and dj equipment.

This t-shirt was set up for silk-screening, using three colors.

Hip-Hop Zombie Gangsta Digital Painting

Digital painting of a zombie I was commissioned to create for the author Danny King as an avatar and branding identity for his sports blog. I really enjoy making things look creepy and funny at the same time – I tried to pump a lot of personality into the character. I seem to really like drawing people and zombies smoking cigars – not sure why that is. This zombie painting was created in Manga Studio 5, with color adjustments and effects handled in Adobe Photoshop.

Website Background Illustration for e-commerce site

I was hired to illustrate and design a series of characters and backgrounds for an e-commerce website. The characters were all cartoon “blockheads” that interact with the hand-drawn user-interface we designed for the website. It was a fun challenge to come up with interesting layouts that didn’t compete with the functionality of the website. This website is still under development – I’ll post the link soon.

News, Recent Artwork

Barrel Of Evil Monkeys T-Shirt Illustration

I was hired to create a T-Shirt design for a new apparel brand called Saltopus. I was given only the direction that it had to include angry monkeys. I illustrated a few concept sketches, and the client chose this concept, of evil monkeys emerging from an innocent looking Barrel of Monkeys toy. The shirt was designed to be just one-color, which always poses a challenge. Since I have no highlight or shading color, I really have to pack a lot of detail into the lineart and make sure it reads well from a distance. We are both very happy with how this turned out.

Mud Run Rock Drill Sergeant Mascot Design

I created this mascot design of a drill sergeant made of rock and mud for Hardcore Muddrun, one of the leading obstacle training courses. The client needed a mascot for their website, apparel, and other branding. We are also working on several different poses, along with an animation in the future. This is probably as close as I will ever get to an actual mud run!

Football Tailgate Cartoon Characters

I created this detailed cartoon scene of football fans, cheerleaders, and players in a stadium parking lot for Coolbone It, a company that creates really cool looking customized coolers. The coolers wrap full-color graphics around the entire surface of the cooler, making it a piece of artwork. This design was an incredible challenge, because there were so many characters to draw, and I had to create the design in a way that could be repeated seamlessly on each end, so it could wrap around he cooler. I’m very pleased with how this turned out.

Brochure Illustrations for Elsevier

Classroom illustrations I created for a brochure for Elsevier, the leading provider of informational publications for medical and scientific audiences. The client needed a series of illustraitons showing how a new book they were publishing can help teachers engage their students more effectively. The illustration was set up in a way that left a lot of empty areas for text and call-outs to be placed without interfereing with the illustration. Digitally drawn and colored in Manga Studio 5.

T-Shirt illustration I created for Spiral Direct of a warrior confronting an evil dragon. I digitally painted this illustration in Adobe Photoshop and Manga Studio 5. This piece was very challenging for me, because of the complex lighting. The client and I went through several revisions, which in the end really improved on the piece. Available from Spiral Direct.

Jaguar Cartoon Sports Mascot

Custom illustration I created of an angry Jaguar head for sports mascots provided by Great Dane Graphics. Since much of my artwork is lineart driven, it’s fun to sometimes deviate from that style and explore digital painting a bit more. It can be tricky to translate my style into digital painting, but I tried my best by giving this jaguar a lot of character and attitude. This design was created in Adobe Photoshop and Manga Studio 5, and will be used for T-Shirts and uniforms. Available for licensing from Great Dane Graphics.

I provided the client with signed prints, and animated gifs showing the process of the illustration as material to help them promote the brand and gain interest on social media.

Zombie label illustrations I created for Vaping Sisters’ new line of eJuice flavors.

The labels themselves are only about 2.5 inches tall, so I had to design the characters with a lot of contrast and bright colors so they could be legible at such a small size. The flavors are sold online and in their shop.

Comic Book Album Cover Illustration

Client:

ZodoMan, Royal Zone Records
 

Description:

Album cover illustration I created for Royal Zone Records artist Zachary Martinez (ZodoMan). He asked me to create an image of him transforming into his mascot character, the monkey, in a style similar to Carnage from the Spiderman Comics. Spiderman was all I read as a kid, so I was very excited about this project. We were both very happy with how this turned out – record releasing soon!

Vaping E-Juice Custom Labels With Mafia Theme

Client:

Vaping Sisters

Description:

Package design illustrations I created for a new line of vaping e-juice flavors by Vaping Sisters. The labels were all mafia themed. Watching Scarface 15 times has finally paid off! I was required to conceptualize and illustrate 10 different labels, based on different mafia archetypes. Can’t wait to start the next series!

Testimonial:

“We’ve been very impressed! We look forward to working with you again on our next line!”

Custom Hockey Helmet decals

Custom decal set I created for Shaft ID, a company that creates decals for hockey helmets and wraps. This set was made to look like the helmet was being peeled away and showing a zombie underneath.

Graphic Wrap for Amusement Park Ride

Client:

Funland, Rehoboth Beach Delaware

Description:

A graphic wrap I illustrated for a ride at an amusement park. It’s always a privilege to work for Funland in Rehoboth Beach, because I’ve been going there every summer since I was two years old! The ride was an old motion simulator they picked up from an arcade, and it was showing its age. So they hired me to create a giant illustration that transformed the ride into a beach buggy. Illustrations of kids are in the windows on each side of the vehicle. I imagine this will be one of the most unique jobs of my career.

Iron Maiden Killers Tribute Illustration

Client:

Listenable Records

Description:

Iron Maiden, and the artist behind their amazing artwork, Derek Riggs, have always been a huge inspiration for everything that I do. So I was super excited when I was hired by Listenable Records to create an illustration tribute to Iron Maiden’s first album, “Killers,” for an upcomming sampler that would be given out at Iron Maiden concerts in Europe. I tried to cram in as much of my own style as I could.

Dragon Logo Design for School

Client:

Ron Clark Academy
 

Description:

Custom mascot illustration of a dragon I designed for the Ron Clark Academy. We started with a few thumbnail sketches, and initially started off with the dragon looking more cartoonish, but decided instead to make the mascot fierce and intimidating. The logo was designed in several different variations, from simple to complex, so it could be used for many different types of applications.

Stanford Tree Mascot T-Shirt Illustration

Client:

Darin Jones

Description:

I was hired by an apparel brand creating a series of T-Shirts featuring the unofficial mascot of Stanford, the Stanford Tree! I was asked to design a tough, rampaging tree stomping on its rival mascots. If you want a drawing challenge, try making a tree look mean. It’s not easy! Trees are usually pretty pleasant.
