Smiley Kid w/ a Flashlight

I was just messing around with this. I used a few textures for it. One was a scan of some old paper and the other was a photo of a screen on a window (for the wallpaper stuff.) My wife says that she is creeped out by his smile and the gun. I guess there is some implied craziness/menace there. I think it gives it more character.

I also wanted to thank everyone for the printing suggestions. I am looking into it.

Any pieces that you would be interested in buying?

Good place for printing Artwork?

I have had a few requests for art prints lately. Does anybody that reads this know a good (relatively cheap) place that does prints? The best would be a place that works like cafe-press, (print per order) but is a bit higher quality. Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you.

The Pitch KISSes and kicks my butt. Also SkullBoy

So here are two images I did for "The Pitch" (a newspaper in KC if you didn't know.)

This first one was the header to a calendar thing. One of the events was a KISS convention. I only have two regrets here, not taking the time to make them "shiny" and not putting Gene Simmons' tongue out. I do like his pigtail though.


This second one was a cover idea that didn't end up working. I think a big part of the problem was the crazy orange color that evidently looked like puke when printed on newsprint. I hope to do another cover sometime in the future.


This last image is a Tee shirt design I'm working on. You can check out a few color variations here. You can also comment if you see any ways I can improve it.

Magical Threadless tee and Shakespeare's donkey

This is my newest Threadless submission. I'm trying out mixing my cartoony stuff with more "realistic" people. Plus I inked this one and kept most of the lines. I'm very happy with the result. Please click below, then comment and vote on it.


I assigned my digital painting class to do a Shakespeare play poster and I decided to do the assignment with them. I just went with the CMYK colors so this could be a 4 color print + the white or black of the paper (it would look better on black.)

I also found out that an image of mine was used as reference on a German language blog. The article is about some artists sharing their process with others and some keeping it secret. Here is the blog: Computerlove

Easter "Pitch" Calendar Header

Here's a piece I did for an Easter calendar thing for "The Pitch". I stuck with CMYK and Orange. Super fun and I was given free reign to do what I wanted. Zach Trover is an awesome art director.

Jock Style

I'm still working on making my style more adult. I'm liking some of the stuff I am doing.
