New Contest Illustrations

Logo Design for A$AP MOB contest on Creative Allies. Wanted a simple and readable design and headphones resonates hip-hop for me. You can see the design and vote, show me support here!


This one was for a t-shirt and toy design contest on Threadless. Threadless and Mighty Jaxx collaborated together to put together this contest. The winners recieve cash prizes and their design made into toys! How badass is that?! I had to enter just for the facts that I haven’t learned how to 3-D model yet (at least this kind of detail) and I have always been interested in toy design. 3-D printing can also be rather expensive! I created robot #27, the first robot to be made with a synthetic and robotic heart. I can design robots forever so expect more of these in the future perhaps and maybe I’ll end up printing them myself on shirts, as toys, or maybe stickers… hmmm stickers sounds like a plan! This contest and my Threadless profile can be found HERE.

Wearing Converse

 Some new character designs I did in Sketchbook Pro. First time ever using it and so far so good, I like it for drawing and its brushes. These two are the first of many designs I'm doing the next is a space girl. (the sketch is at the bottom of the post) I am also screen printing these onto shirts. Two colors: converse and shadows.

I love Enviros

Here's a quick group of 6 environment paintings I worked on all at the same time. They were easy to work on because if one got frustrating I would just paint another. If I couldn't figure out a tree in one, I'd paint a building or a moon in a different painting.(ADD painting technique) All 6 took me about 18 hrs and some I detailed more than others so I don't know how long each took by themselves.

This first one started as me just scribbling with complimentary colors and then I started to watch kung-fu movies, so you can see where that went.


This next one was influenced by these rock structures in Thailand, then became villages built on their cliffs. And I always wanted to paint a destroyed moon.


Next one was the hardest for me to figure out, all I knew was that I wanted a mountain peak. This one changed and frustrated me the most, but it came out okay.


This one was painted with the sunset beach prompt from one of my friends. I like to surf so I was down to try it. The tree fort also seemed like a cool spot to check out the waves from. I think I'm going to take this one back into Photoshop and make some changes on it and fix some things I don't like.


Magma Temple... that is all


Last but not least, Chasing Fireflies, this one was my favorite and the fastest. I definitely am going to do more with it and fix some stuff, but I liked the idea and colors.

Here's a master study of a painting from Brother Bear, I stopped after 2hrs of work, it was definitely tough trying to match colors and brush strokes but I'm happy with it.
