Here’s some newer designs I have worked on recently. Things have been very busy getting merch designs for all the summer tours and whatnot.

This Brokencyde design was a collaboration between myself and Julian, the lead singer of the band. He sketched out the band name artwork on the lower half of the design, and I did the top. When we were both happy w/ the rough ideas, I turned it into this design you see here.

The skull design for The Devil Wears Prada will be in Hot Topics shortly. I haven’t done alot of skull designs in the past, so I wanted to give one a shot and this is what I came up with.

Lastly I was hired to create 2 different shirts for the band The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus. They wanted to see something more photorealistic, so I changed up the style I normally work with and created these ideas.

I’ve been so busy recently that I haven’t even had time to update my site. But, I’m making it up to you by posting a ton of work, including the snowboards I did for Rome.

romesnowboardsHere’s the line of snowboards I did for Rome. They’re called the Artifact Rocker series, and will be out this Fall. The type of snowboard is used for trick riding.

mysticelephant2testThis elephant is a new shirt design I did for Dot Dot Curve. I was hired to create four new designs for them.

Lastly, my good friend’s band needed a logo and some merchandise fast. I was able to create three shirts and the logo for his band MARA. It was fun to make this stuff because it’s outside the stuff I’m normally asked to make. Hopefully in the future, I’ll get to create more designs like this!

skulleye2testAs I mentioned, I’ve been working w/ Outerloop management on a run of designs for their up and coming bands. Here’s one of the newer ones I did for the band Structures. It’s a skeleton throwing up some eyeballs.

skincaretest On the other end of the spectrum, here’s a design I did to promote Skin Care for Skate 4 Cancer. In the end, I came up with a design involving a dude w/ a hat and sunglasses on playing his guitar out in the sun. I made sure he had his bottle of suntan lotion at his side to keep off the harmful rays!

king-kongtestThe band Caliban recently hired me to complete three new designs. One of their ideas was a zombie King Kong. I’ve worked with this band a few times before and always did designs for black shirts, so I decided I’d try out a white shirt design this time.

I’ve also been working w/ Outerloop management on knocking out some designs for some up and coming bands. The first of these is for a band by the name of We Are Danger. Here’s the design I came up with for them. A huge yellow space pirate.

I showed them some of my shirt designs, and talked about how to deal with clients and get work and all of that good stuff.

Thanks again guys for having me!

Get a Clue you Angry Muffin

getaclueI recently wrapped up the album artwork for a band called Exit Cleveland. Their album is called Get a Clue, so I designed the artwork around the board game Clue. The inside cover is made to look like the game board, but the locations were replaced with places that a band would fine themselves.

Also, the band Goodbye Blue Skies contacted me to design a shirt with some muffins fighting. Here’s what I came up with! shirtmockI really like how this design lays out on a shirt, so instead of the regular image of the design, here’s a mock up.

Statues and Goo

Pretty excited this week  to get to work with some more high profile clients. Story of the Year and From First to Last.

namortestThis story of the year design is based on a photo I took while I was in Rome Italy. It’s essentially what was going through my head while I was looking at the actual statue. It’s for the ShirtsForaCure.com foundation so it’ll be available there eventually. While I was making this design, I shot a video showing in detail how I create my typical designs. I’ll post a link to the video when I have the time to edit it all together!

gootestfftlThis second design, for From First to Last, was a last minute project they requested before leaving on tour. It’s one of two designs I created for them. Slimy Letters!
