I was recently hired to illustrate and design this eagle logo for a new apparel brand for gun-enthusiasts called Kick Brass. The logo was needed in a very short period of time to get it ready for a sales pitch, so we scrambled to come up with as many ideas as possible in the beginning. After looking over the sketches, we went in the direction of a bronze eagle with bullets for feathers. I wanted the emblem to look like a military badge of honor. I set up the logo in several different variations: one-color, limited-color silk-screening, and a full-color version.

Always a pleasure working with my friends at Listenable Records. For this years sampler featuring the labels best tracks we chose to pay tribute to the classic Defenders of the Faith album cover from Judas Priest. I thought it would be cool to draw a samurai in the same art style and color scheme as that record and really give it a nice retro theme with bright primary colors. Really dig the way this came out - might make a great sticker.

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).
