Here's the latest illustration I created for a documentary about horror and heavy metal - Regan from the Exorcist. If you have some time to kill, go google the behind the scenes history behind the Exorcist films - it's like the whole series was cursed. #horror #monster #excorcist #art #digital #mangastudio #illustration #instaart #instaartwork #instaartist #instaartpop #artist #artshow #creative #artwork #followme

Just a couple days away from the end of the #Inktober challenge, and it looks like I'm going to make it (and not miss a day). Here's a nice drawing of a guy who looks like Abe Lincoln for absolutely no reason at all. #inktober #ink #sketch #brush #blackandwhite #art #instaartist #brianallen

(shoot forgot to post this last night) Back to back #tiki ink drawings for #Inktober ! This was a concept I had sketched out a while ago and always wanted to bring it to life. I really dig this idea - I might take this further and make it into a t-shirt design at some point. #inktober #tiki #ink #sketch #brush #blackandwhite #art #instaartist #brianallen

This drawing I did for #Inktober Day 15 shows another one of my early sources of inspiration - Todd McFarlane from Spawn. This wasn't meant to look like the Violator character when I started drawing, but it turned out that way. Pro Drawing Tip: If your character isn't looking great, stick a cigar in his mouth.

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.

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.

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

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

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?
