#Inktober Day 6! I brushed out this witch broom-surfing on a wave - witches rarely get to show off their beach bodies. #witch #ink #sketch #brush #blackandwhite #art #mangastudio #photoshop #illustration #tshirt #art #instaart #instaartist #picoftheday #igdaily #followme

Day 5 of #Inktober! This is a little throwback to a clown face I used to draw a lot when i didn't know what else to draw. I did a painting of it too a long time ago, which was quite terrible. #ink #sketch #brush #blackandwhite #art #clown #mangastudio #photoshop #illustration #tshirt #art #instaart #instaartist #picoftheday #igdaily #followme

Third day of #InkTober! I'm really enjoying forcing myself to just have some quick sketching fun on paper again - I need to make this part of my daily routine when October is over. I came up with this idea of alien bug serving sushi. Genius? Ridiculous? Perhaps we'll never know. #inktober #ink #sketch #brush #blackandwhite #art #sushi #conceptart #instaartist #brianallen

Day 2 of #InkTober! So here's a pen and ink sketch of Man-Worm (or Worm-Man, still deciding). I wish I had a clever artistic reasoning to explain why this image exists, but I've got nothing. Thanks for all the love on my first sketch - I'm really excited about this - I haven't been this motivated to create my own stuff in a while. #inktober #worm #ink #sketch #brush #blackandwhite #art #instaartist #brianallen

I'm going to be participating in #InkTober this year, which is an artist challenge started by Jake Parker where we have to draw and post a new ink drawing (traditional, no digital!) every day of the month of October. I'm really excited about it, because I really need to force myself to spend more time drawing just for me (no offense, Mr. Client). Here is the first drawing in the series. Thanks for your support! #inktober #tribal #ink #sketch #brush #blackandwhite #art #instaartist #brianallen

Thanks for all the recent followers and comments - I really appreciate it. I wanted to share this alligator I painted in photoshop for a t-shirt pitch to the documentary show Swamp People.

So I've been wanting to produce and sell my own stickers for a while now, and finally had some time to do it. The plan is to release a new 3-pack every couple months. Here is volume 1 - featuring my artwork on die-cut 4" vinyl produced by #VinylDisorder. Only $5 for the set (plus shipping). Hope you guys like them! http://ow.ly/SGEA5 #vinyl #stickers #spongeBob #HelloKitty #muppets #diecut

I just released this set of 100 Manga Studio brushes I created, available in my shop: http://ift.tt/1ET3ZWX for $2.99. I'm really excited about how many people have already downloaded them, and I'm getting great feedback. That means a lot to me, because I put a ridculous amount of work into these, and use them every day.

Just got this incredible letterpress in the mail from the Great @godmachine today. I'm trying to purchase something from every one of my favorite artists each month to fill up the studio. His work is so inspirational. He was also just on @aidpodcast - such a humble dude. There's so much to learn from artists like this. If you're not familiar with his work (you are), go check it out. #godmachine #letterpress #art

Had the pleasure yesterday of teaching a bunch of my kid's classmates how to draw monsters. I had the kids take turns telling me what each body part should look like, and this is what we ended up with. The creativity of seven-year-olds trumps mine anyday. Fun little break! Got to use those scented markers for the first time in more than a decade! #monster #drawing #teaching

Can I get your opinion? Do you like this color scheme, or is the pink character throwing it off? I tried to go a little outside my comfort zone with this and choose pretty wild colors (started off even wilder, but I chickened out). Any other suggestions?

Here's a whacky illustration I did for a band's album cover a while back - almost forgot about this. Sort of a tongue-in-cheek holy war going on here.

This is a detail shot of a silk screen t shirt I created for fit-out apparel. Had a ton of fun with this one drawing a nerd zombie. We went pretty crazy with the halftone and colors. I think it came down to five colors on a teal shirt.
