Worked on a design with pretty different subject matter for me. Sometimes I have trouble blending a line-art style with things that are meant to be realistic.

Logo design I created for a Russebuss theme in Norway, as part of the Russefeiring tradition. Basically, this involves a month-long high school graduation party, where an entire class will rent or buy a buss, and spend every night traveling and partying. The classes decorate the busses by having every inch painted, and everyone in the class wears logos that fit their theme, for when they clash with rival classes. This design was meant to be a parody of the classic jungle book characters, as if they were thugs.

I was humbled recently to be invited to teach a class on SkillShare, a really great website that has a TON of very cheap tutorials. I found it through some of my favorite artists, Patrick Brown, and Chris Parks of Pale Horse Design who both taught really helpful classes there. Now I have to come up with something worth teaching. What would you like to learn from me? Any suggestions would be very helpful. Some options: 1. T-Shirt design and setup in Manga Studio and Photoshop 2. Illustrated Mascot/Logo design 3. How to act way cooler than you actually are #skillshare #photoshop #illustration

This illustration was for a private commission for a fan’s husband (I believe as an anniversary present). She needed a large illustration to fit on two facing panels in a hallway, and wanted it to be fun and creepy at the same time. We came up with this idea of drawing a giant killer bee wielding a chainsaw in a ruined city as bystanders flee in fear. I printed them out on two large 36 inch square panels. #killerbee #chainsaw #mangastudio #photoshop #illustration #tshirt #art #instaart #instaartist #picoftheday #igdaily #followme
