I used to hate that my art style isn’t consistent and that most of my pieces look like a different artist made them. Now I’m thrilled because l can be like “YOUR MOVE AI! Take your best shot! Try making sense of THIS”

I haven’t posted on here in a while! Here’s a recent poster I did for this is rad! It’s inspired by printed paper trick or treat bags from the 50s and 60s.

I haven't got it in me to do inktober this year but I had some free time at work for a doodle.

I designed this poster because This Is Rad!, the podcast I design for and guest host on, is combining forces with The Goods from the Woods and mean boys to put on a benefit show at NerdMelt September 8th at 9pm! And the best part? All the proceeds will go to the Southern Poverty Law Center to help fight bad guys! Go here for tickets: http://holdmyticket.com/event/290147 If you for any reason wanted to meet me this is how to do it.

Credit to Billy Perkins for the poster inspiration.

Just wanted to share another animation I did for shut eye! I had a lot of fun doing this one.

Here's a pixel animation I did for shut eye on hulu.

I haven't had much time for personal drawing but after seeing fantastic beasts I had to draw a niffler. I've loved nifflers since the books and the movie captured what I had imagined pretty well.

I haven't had a lot of time to do personal work but today between tasks at work I found some time to draw this piggy.

Here are some old sketchbook drawings. Everything I've done recently is protected by NDA so I am not legally able to post anything to this blog until it is public. I'm incredibly proud of all the work I've done recently and I'm very excited to share it with all of you.

I’m particularly proud of this 50-60s b movie inspired poster I made for this is rad!

This is a 45 foot long mural I did for Escape nails & bar. It’s a nail salon wine bar in Rancho Peñasquitos in San Diego. Over all it was very satisfying to create something so large when previously the biggest thing I had ever painted was 4 feet by 4 feet.

Hey everyone! I’m sorry for the lack of art, but I am working on a high profile animated commercial and have signed an NDA. Expect a bunch of art in about a month when the spot airs! I will post some pictures of a mural I worked on in august soon though!

I've been commissioned to do a mural of a sea side so I'm trying to make a few images of beaches in different styles to prepare.

I’ve lately been feeling a little down on myself. I’ve been feeling like I don't have a strong enough will and discouraged in my own abilities. I want to see myself for my potential. So I painted a self portrait where look like what I really am, powerful.
