4 Horsemen



















Sometimes when I want to break away from designing for corporate advertising, I find it soothing to draw something from the bible. This particular piece has horses and even an angel.

Art Club












I am in an art club with my friends. We basically drink beer and play obscure drawing games. We also have bi-monthly projects for fun. This project was to take someone's scribble and turn it into something else. I took Olivia's scribble and turned into some sort of demented french spy.

Massive Awesome


















This is a variant cover for a comic book called Massive Awesome. It's published by 215ink. I am penciling and inking the 3rd issue as you are reading this. It will be out sometime soon. The book is literally about a talking piece of bacon and a pickle that fight robots and ninjas and robot ninjas. It's pretty insane. Very fun to draw.

More Derby work!




































This is the latest Derby poster I've done. The Red one is shirt design. I've been getting a lot of positive feed back on this design. Lets hope the next one doesn't suck!

Poster to Tattoo.













This is a Derby poster that I did back in February. One Derby girl in particular liked it so much she got it tattooed on her arm. She sent me a photo of it an it looks amazing. Thanks to lil' orphan fannie #888 of the Wicked Pissahs for the greatest compliment an illustrator can get.

shameless promotion













this is going to be a mailer/postcard which will hopefully get me more projects. its supposed to express my ability to draw in different styles. it also showcases my abundance of free time and dismal social life.

don't judge me.
