Here is a detail shot of a t-shirt I designed for Bongjour, called Jet Fuel. Inking here on a Wacom 24HD in Manga Studio. I love projects like this where I'm encouraged to just go nuts.

I created this mad scientist character for an auto-repair shop whose specialty is custom built choppers and hotrods. The brand wanted a dark but playful design that illustrated them as a blend of mechanic and mad scientist. I thought it would be cool to show a frankenstein-ed hotrod on the operating table behind the mad scientist, as he raises his creation up to the lightning. This design was created for direct-to-garment printing.

My new friend at Happy Valley Custom, Andrew Marzka was kind enough to show me some silk screening tricks in his shop - along with the most impressive Star Wars toy collection the world had ever known. Every inch of the walls is covered with hundreds of these toys. So awesome #silkscreen #starwars #happyvalleycustom

I designed and illustrated this angry gargoyle busting out of its stone skin for a line of ATV and sled wraps put out by 393 Components. It was a challenge to position everything and design it in a way to make the design look interesting on as many different vehicle types and shapes as possible. I kept all the elements in layers so that the design could be modified if necessary to fit different wraps. I needed to make it look as different as possible from a previous gargoyle design I had done, so I came up with the idea of having the gargoyle a green-skinned creature bursting from stone, as if it was coming to life. It was really cool to be working with graphic decals again for ATVs, because my first full-time position as an artist was at a custom decal shop called XGX Racing. This design is available for licensing for uses other than vehcicle graphics - message me if interested

I was hired to design this angel and devil logo for apparel and a vehicle wrap for the russefeiring tradition. If you haven’t heard of it, basically russefeiring involves an entire class of Norwegian students renting a bus (a Russebuss), painting every inch of it with really cool street art, and then partying in it night and day for an entire month during graduation. The different classes wear their designs ever where they go as they clash with rival classes. I’ve done a bunch of these now, and really enjoy it.

Okay - this probably is going to get me in trouble. This is a detail shot of a logo design I worked on for another Russ team last year. If this offends you, remember that I just draw what people tell me, and I deny all resposibility. Unless you think this is funny - in which case: I know, right?

Wanted to share this - one of the highlights for me last year was having my artwork published in the Showcase 100 book, which featured artwork from 99 amazing artists, and me! And by the divine powers of alphabetically order, I'm on the first page! Always works great (except when I was in gym class and always had to go first).

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

I'm so excited to be sharing this - some of my work was published in Black and White Volume 2 by Out of Step Books, a collection of artwork from some of my favorite artists, like Freak City and Ben Kwok (Bioworkz). Words can't describe how flattered I am. Seems like I must be doing something right! Can't wait to pick up my copy at OutOfStepBooks

Here's the finished logo design created for a gym's new line of apparel. Thrilled with how this turned out. If you're interested in using this imagery for a logo (for any other business than a gym), please contact me for info about licensing. I think it could have a lot of uses.

Here's a new piece of artwork I created in Manga Studio 5 for a t-shirt design. Long story, but the client who commissioned this ended up being a Die Hard movie villain - so this design won't get printed.

Just got a package of cool stuff from Strange Kids Club - a really unique comic parody of 80s Saturday Morning cartoons called Bronar, written by Rondal Scott III, and illustrated by a ton of talented artists, including one of my favorites, Michael Anderson. I was tasked with illustrating the poster, which is now proudly hanging in my studio!

Here's the finished packaging design I did for Yellow Dog Pet ID tags. It's a die-cut cardboard point-of-purchase display, that advertises these cool laser-cut id tags.

It's always freakin awesome to see people getting my artwork tattooed on their bodies - makes me pretty embarrassed that I don't have any of my own artwork as a tattoo yet.

One of my inspirations for inking is the artist Steve Becker, who refers to himself as a "killustrator." I just got this awesome book he put together with a one-of-a-kind original ink sketch on the cover. The whole book is over a hundred pages of his realistic dinosaur ink drawings, which he has become known for. Please check him out - the dude is just exploding with talent.

What's the secret to illustration? Cigars. A big fat cigar works every time. This is a character design I created for a game I've been working on with a client on and off.
