Vaping Sisters
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!
“We’ve been very impressed! We look forward to working with you again on our next line!”
Clayton
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.
Funland, Rehoboth Beach Delaware
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.

Listenable Records
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.
Ron Clark Academy
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.
Dark Horse Fightwear
I had the privilege of designing the new logo emblem for Dark Horse Fightwear. The client wanted a detailed image of a warrior and his horse, that would look great printed large on a T-Shirt, on banners, and signs. Designed for silk-screening, 4 colors.
T-Shirt Mockup
Concept Sketches
Darin Jones
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.
Gold Strike Chili Mix
Website template illustrations I created for Gold Strike Chili Mix in conjunction with Creative Pro Studio. For the company’s new website, the client wanted a design that was colorful, animated, and interactive. I created all the illustrations, and handed it off to the developers, who will animate certain features.

How do I describe this project? The NYC musicians, We Chief, hired me to create a simple animated image to advertise their new single. The concept was inspired from the title of the song, “Gyals From Brooklyn,” and they wanted the artwork to be minimalistic and colorful. Oh, and they also wanted three giant butts walking toward the Brooklyn bridge.
This was a lot of fun to illustrate, and even more fun to animate!
Hard Ride Saloon
Custom T-Shirt illustration for Hard Ride Saloon called “American Patriot.” The client wanted something patriotic and dark, so we came up with this image of a skeleton soldier holding a rifle. This design was set up for silk-screening, 4 colors.
Children’s book illustrations I created for Amazon’s CreateSpace, for a book entitled “The Very Lonely Suit” by Annette Miller.
T-Shirt illustration I created for Design By Humans of a Tiki Man holding a skull and a dead crow. I’ve been trying to make more time for fun personal products like this.

Marijuana Zombie
T-Shirt illustration I created for my friends at Marijuana Zombie celebrating the almighty Kush, and their forthcoming Marijuana Hall of Fame.
Hard Ride Saloon
Custom T-Shirt illustration I created for Hard Ride Saloon. The client came to me with an existing logo of a sketleton riding a motorcycle that needed a serious update. We came up with this design for T-Shirts and banners. Set up for silk-screening, 4 colors.
Pawsabilities
Mascot character design I created of a German Shepherd police dog for the clothing brand Pawsabilities. The brand features different pets illustrated as the anamorphic archetypes they represent. Had a lot of fun with this. Set up for silk-screening.
Bad Matchup
Custom t-shirt design illustration of two MMA fighters in a comic book style. The client was limited to only a few colors for silk-screening, so I had to find a way to create a very detailed design with only 3 colors. We’re both very pleased with how this turned out.
I was very satisfied with the final results. I will be working with Brian again very soon.
Mascot character design I created of a Zombie lacrosse player for Great Dane Graphics.
I had created a set of zombie sports characters before for these guys and they were a big hit. We decided to approach this batch in a different style – more of a digital painting than the previous comic book style. That was a bit different for me, but I’m pleased with how they turned out.

Hard Ride Clothing
T-Shirt illustration I created for Hard Ride Clothing. The client wanted something creepy that would appeal to truckers and oil workers in his market. I designed this zombie-infested Bakken oil field design for silk-screening, using four colors.
I was hired by a wrestling club to design a mascot for their apparel and website. Luckily, their mascot was one of the gnarliest creatures of the animal kingdom: the honey-badger. We explored a few different sketch variations, and came up with this view, with the Honey-Badger reaching toward the viewer. I provided a full-color version for direct-to-garment printing and web use, as well as a simplified version for silk-screening.
Professional Illustrator Brian Allen reviews the new Wacom Cintiq Pro 24″ (non-touch). I have been using the new Wacom Cintiq Pro 24″ extensively since early April 2018 and I love it!
