Godzilla vs King Kong

I had been working on this for a long time. I am happy with how it turned out. I made a few color variations. You can see them on my society6 page.

Trailhead guide book art

I did the cover design and 60+ illustrations in Trailhead: The Dirt on All Things Trail Running, a witty new guide book on trail running. It was a lot of work and a lot of fun. I am really happy with it. Most of the illustrations are pretty humorous too. If you're interested, you can see more here:

Derby Poster!

2014 Roller Derby Poster! I really like how this one turned out.

TZNT

Some Nuclear Ninja Turtles. I've wanted to make this for a long time and illustrating it was way more fun than I was expecting. I haven't committed to my favorite color scheme. But there are shirts and prints already available!

Glow in the Dark Zombie Rex Shirt!

DSF Clothing made a glow in the dark version of this shirt! Hooray!

Legacy of the Slayer

My friend and gaming connoisseur Jay Treat made a card roll playing game about monster hunters. I helped do the artwork for the box! Check it out here: Legacy of the Slayer

Godzilla vs King Kong

I've been wanting to draw this for a long time. Brush pen and Ink pen on Bristol.

Earthworm Jim

I'll grow up when I'm good and ready.

I have been using these custom photoshop brushes made by this nice guy named Kyle. They are really fun and awesome and I don't know if I'll ever go back to the defaults again. Get them here:

I redesign and updated my online portfolio. And it only took me ten thousand years. Check out the style guide.

Super Bar

I've had this scene in my head for a long time. Wanted to capture the uncomfortable moments before a brawl, rather than a typical action scene. Planning on doing a villain version. One day.

Zombie Rex

step 1: take a class on illustrating the skeletal and muscular anatomy of prehistoric creatures at the natural history museum. 

step 2: realize you just learned how to draw zombie dinosaurs. 

step 3: refuse to grow up.
