I drew this horrifying clown for West Coast Pitbull’s new apparel series. This was a digital painting created in Adobe Photoshop - I decided to leave out all the line art in the design and try to go for a more realistic look.

So excited to share this Game of Thrones illustration I created for Bam Box, featuring Daenerys Targaryen and the Night King and their dragons. Every month, the geek loot box company, Bam Box, sends out awesome surprise packages to their subscribers featuring artwork and other merch from the latest pop culture obsessions. They gave me a ton of freedom with this commission. I thought it would be cool to draw the two characters and their dragons as opposing forces, and highlight the blue and red dicotomy of fire vs. ice. When I was finished, I signed close to a 1000 of the prints to be sent in their loot box. To see more of my work, or hire me for freelance projects, please visit my website: www.flylanddesigns.com

Cavity Colors hired me to create this officially licensed t-shirt illustration of the Book of the Dead, the Necronomicon, from one of my favorite horror movies ever, Evil Dead 2. I took great care to make the illustration look like the specific book from the movie (the books all look slightly different in all the other movies). I made sure to use limited colors so it would silk-screen nicely. Very happy with how this turned out! Client Testimonial: I’m so excited for this design. Looks so good! -Aaron Crawford Art Director, Cavity Colors To see more of my work, or hire me for freelance projects, please visit my website: www.flylanddesigns.com

The artist Chogrin invited me to participate in a Spawn tribute book to celebrate the 25th anniversary, that would be presented to Spawn creator, Todd McFarlane. I create the entire artwork on the iPad Pro in Clip Studio Paint. The screen is so bright I can work outside in my backyard - it's great to take a break from the big screen every once in a while and stare at a little screen instead.

I was lucky to work with the band Moonshine Bandits on their new t-shirt design. I had fun creating the band members as rad skeletons driving a limo monster truck.

I wanted to create a an illustration as a sample to try to get work from young-adult fantasy book publishers, a market that I’d like to do more work in. I chose a scene with an adventurer in an Aztec-like jungle temple so I could draw some funny and creepy totems - and I even got to sneak a skull in there too! I like to try different styles and themes whenever I can - keeps things from getting stale. I’m happy with how this turned out, and would like to do more in this genre.

T-Shirt illustration I created of an evil Tiki man surrounded by smoke and pot leaves for the **** apparel brand Bongjour. The shirt is printed on 100% ****, and available in a variety of groovy colors. It was a pleasure working with the folks at #Bongjour. They gave me a lot of freedom with the design, and I’m really happy with how it turned out. Set up for direct-to-garment, full-color printing. You can purchase the shirt here: http://www.bongjour.com/product/****-native-apparel/ To see a process video of me inking this design, visit my YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TrslISXXeBU To see a process video of how I colored this design, please visit: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fvRHCw_SaHw

All-over-print dye-sublimated wrestling singlet design I created for BlueChip wrestling. This design is easily my favorite in the seires, and also the most time-consuming. I illustrated these giant skulls made up of probably a hundred smaller skulls, and lit the whole thing up by their glowing eyes. It was challenging, but I’m thrilled with how it turned out. I created this as part of a series of wrestling singlet designs for BlueChip’s summer catalog. The designs will also be available on fight shorts. I find it so enjoyable working with dye sublimation, because the color and detail reproduction is fantastic, and I don’t have to worry about the head-scratching that comes from working with silk-screen.

Album cover I illustrated for the Brazilian heavy metal band John Wayne (named after John Wayne Gacy - not the other guy). It was a great pleasure working on this with the band, as they gave me a lot of freedom, and I set upon the design without much planning, and tried to let it flow. This album cover is the first in a set of two albums, that when placed together will form one cohesive image. This album represents the dark side, while the following album will have a similar design, but mirrored, and “lighter.”

I was hired by Strange Kids Club Magazine to illustrated a promotional poster featuring characters from their upcoming magazine. I loved every second of working on this. If you're strange like me, and born in the 80s, then I don't need to explain what's going on here. The concept revolved around a fictional character called Bronarr, Space Barbarian (!) - loosely based on 80s Saturday morning cartoons like Masters of the Universe, as well as camp classic 70s retro sci-fi/fantasy films like Hell Comes To Frogtown.

This is a fun illustration I created of a tiki man riding a dirtbike for the brand Accidental Broadcast. The brand centers around a popular Youtube personality, Kalani Prince, who films the island of Hawaii from the back of his dirtbike. Kalani gave me a lot of freedom with the design. Since this was the brand's first design, I thought it would be a good idea to introduce his personality as this Tiki character, with an attractive hula girl hanging tight. I also designed the a logo to match the design for his brand.

Zombie T-Shirt I created for Spiral Direct, depicting a pile of zombie hands in the moonlight. It was an immense privilege to work among the talent powerhouse that is Spiral Direct. The design was quite complex, due to all the different hands, and the requirement that it be highly rendered. Drawing hands has always been a challenge for me, so I compiled a mockup of photos of my own hands for reference. Luckily I have skinny little claws for hands!

Custom caricature characters I illustrated for Tree View Designs, a web development company that specializes in website templates for Doctors. I was tasked with creating a line of characters and simply colored backgrounds that their clients can use to decorate their websites. I was flattered that they invited me to join their team in cartoon form!

Album cover I illustrated for the young and very talented guitarist Tyler Morris, featuring Tyler fighting off an alien invasion with his rock. The graphics from the album cover were also used on the musicians website design, and will eventually become a mini-comic to distribute with the album.

Illustration of a gator leaping out of a swamp I created for Great Dane Graphics, in a pitch for the contract for Swamp People, the TV series about people living and working in the swamps of Louisiana. This was the first time I was tasked with drawing a fully rendered alligator, and it proved to be more challenging than I thought to find the right pose.

Logo design I created for a paintball course in New York called Zombie Survival Paintball. This is a really cool twist on paintball. The course is actually set up with waves of attacking zombies that you have to shoot down to survive. The client hired me to create the logo for the course. I had a lot of fun with this.

Logo design I created for the professional gaming shop SoPro Gaming, featuring an alien mascot character jamming on his keyboard. The client wanted a mascot that was a bit unusual and help make his brand more recognizeable. We tried out several different mascot sketches before landing on this one with an alien

T-Shirt illustration I created for my friends at Fit-Out Apparel of a zombie nerd wearing suspenders and learning how to "Get Brain." I experimented a little with a new style for this piece, and I'm really happy with how it turned out. This design was set up for silk screen, with around 5 colors.
