Teodoru Badiu and I have been trying to work together for a few months now, and apparently within the last week or so, was just the right time. We reviewed a few designs to render in 3D, designs that would show off my style but also give Teodoru enough artistic freedom ... continue

This was a very exciting project for me . Scott from ShinBone Creative and I started chatting awhile back about working on a toy project together. We mulled over a few ideas, and decided that "Kyle" my bomb mascot would be a good option. Kyle has been a staple in my branding ... continue

One of my favorite parts of the design process is the shading and detailing pre-color. And although I love color, I always enjoy that point when a design is complete and in it's black and white/greyscale phase. This is a collection of branding and textile work I've done around 2011 and ... continue

This is for the upcoming Crative Zodiac release by Soyu. The idea was to have an artwork based on a specific animal. I love dogs and have never actually used one in any of my design/illustration work, so it seemed fitting. I tried to combine a number of different cultural ... continue

Those of you who know me, know I'm pretty easy going when it comes to artistic freedoms, even when it comes to my own work. So I'm one of the last artists in the world to openly object to people ripping my work for their own personal gain, truly it happens ... continue

Maleficent is easily one of my favorite movie villains, and since I almost never do fan art, I figured I'd give it a go. This piece is of course based on Disney's Maleficent character and a mixture of The Last Vampire Astronaut and Go To Sleep Citizen. I also envisioned Maleficent as some ... continue

This piece will mark my first personal work of 2011 and is directly/indirectly inspired by classic "Sci-Fi B movies". I'm very happy with how this turned out in the end. Tired a few different techniques on this one as well as starting my whole creative process differently, and I think ... continue
