Illustration

I put together a series of proposals for a local business to choose from. Pulling from influences of old Hollywood architecture, the previous history of the building as a dance studio, and how it houses many creative professionals still. I wanted to combine these elements into an illustration, and color palette that would better accentuate the space.

These series of illustrations are friends of mine and combine images with original skateboard, and or product graphics. I wanted to represent them in a way that was unique and spoke to there personality. Also done with a large dose of humor, I had a lot of fun making these :)

Who doesn’t love food? I found that my appetite inspired this piece, and was inspired by some of the amazing foods of Brazil.

The Church series is based around my adventures in Brazil and trying to document the beautiful architecture. Lovely large works of stone, these buildings captivated me and inspired me by there presence.

Bold actions and repetition are the hallmarks of skateboarding, so inspired by these aspects I created these illustrations inspired by my love of skateboarding.

Trying to develop my skills with digital watercolors, I started this piece trying to combine my linework techniques and combine it with watercolors over digital photos.

Inspired by my love of heavy metal music I wanted to challenge myself to create artwork that focused on the intersection between music and dark imagery.

Trying to expand my creative styles, I decided to try to do some children’s book style illustration. The happy blob is trying to tackle the intersection between simple colors and imagery, to come off light, and fun.

A client reached out to me for a climbing based illustration for a book, and I was happy for the challenge! Trying to tackle the composition in a way that promoted depth was a challenge, but I had a fun time coming up with a solution.

Inspired by 60’s psychedelic artwork, I tried to combine my efforts of studying the human hand in a digital way that was interesting and full of color.

I love Aqua Teen Hunger Force. So I decided to redraw some of my favorite characters from the series, for the challenge. Personally I love drawing Carl passed out.

This food truck concept was put together by myself and a class partner. We focused on blending concepts that were true to the business’s identity and the type of food they served. We had a great time making this project look amazing, and even got good feedback from the truck owners themselves :)

I love the band Cannibal Corpse. Inspired by there the first album Eaten Back to Life, I redrew the cover off there artwork by Vincent Locke.

The client requested artwork for a party invitation donating to the ACLU. This illustration I put together for them to reference some of the main reasons for the party, and what the ACLU stands for.

This logo was another concept for my website, working with some darker imagery I put this together.

I love my cat, and I have to make some artwork about how cute she is :)

Sketching some of the most used items when I travel, is the inspiration behind this series. Simple colors and shapes, I tried to create illustrations that showed some of the emotions behind these items.

In trying to focus my abilities on photorealism, I challenged myself to draw from a photo of my pocketknife.

Trying to work on linework abilities, I decided to sketch an idol of mine Jim Croce.

I love working with forms and shapes. This is a photo of just some of the thousands of pencil and ink drawings I have done working on my studies of line and shape.

Tattoo concept I put together for a friend of mine. Still not sure if they ever got it done :)
