I was commissioned to redesign a shirt for Tell Steel. TS is a Long Beach based company founded in 1959 by Tell Tuffli. Their mascot features William Tell, the dude who’s famous for shooting the apple on that kid’s head. In the redesign I still used the William Tell but omitted the kid (maybe the apple was the one that survived that day….) I drew up William Tell in an etched Albrecht Dürer style that has that pre renaissance look and reappropriated the background to look a more current LB. More about Tell Steel here

This is my desert inspired artwork print that was also featured on a Juneshine can last summer.

I had the opportunity to work with the good people over at DC shoes to create a vertical illustration of historical and notable moments of DC snowboarding. A main theme that we wanted to wrap this concept around was La Folie Douce. It’s a lodge 2,400m up in the French Alps. Starting at noon skiers can take the gondola up to the lodge at the ski bar and indulge in world class DJ’s flown in from around the world, ingest magnums of champagne and experience all around buffoonery in its purest form until 4pm. Then it’s time to get out and ski or tumble down the mountain.

For this piece I was asked to tie elements of DC’s past like old snowboards, events like rail sliding on a missile and cars jumping off snow ramps to designs and patterns used from snowboarding gear and jackets. Oh and also Renee Renee with a wizard staff of beers.

Stance is releasing a couple sock sets next year- The first one is Ahsoka (Rosario Dawson) from the Mandalorian and Ahsoka live action series. And the second set will be 4 notable characters from the Clone Wars animated series. Anakin Skywalker, Ahsoka Tano, Darth Maul and Captain Rex.

Complex and First We Feast’s show Hot Ones teamed up with the LA Kings to produce a capsule collection that will debut at Kings games this season. The idea was to get the fan experience of eating hot wings in front of a crowd while attending games. A cross promotion where there’s a stand off between fire and ice. I collaborated with Complex and the Kings to design some gear that will be available at Kings games and online.

I had the pleasure of illustrating the can art for JuneShine’s “Prickly Pear Margarita.” Whitney Cummings for this particular flavor was the brand ambassador. She and JS had a direction in flavor but needed the visuals. Over a month or two last summer I worked with Whitney and JuneShine’s design team creating art that paid homage to the best of the southwest. I illustrated and array of desert elements—rolling pastel hills, casual coyotes, lurking lizards, a cheeky horse, and a little green man from Area 51 hiding behind a cactus . Their flavor goal was something citrusy, slightly smokey, with the right pinch of sweetness. I think can art matched up alright.

Redondo’s finest “FartBarf” graced Long Beach back in Nov. 19th. I design the shirts and fliers for the show for FB and the Bamboo Club. If you haven’t been, check it out. The Bamboo Club is a super awesome joint with great food and killer strong tiki drinks. It’s pretty easy to ripped there after a couple :)

During the span of 2007-2018 I was in RVCA’s ANP program. I designed and created shirt graphics, capsules and collections, I did art installation, art shows and murals while I was represented by the company. These are a examples of what I did while I was working at RVCA.

Vivamus massa tortor, tincidunt porta hendrerit vel, feugiat sed massa. In nec convallis sem, ac mollis massa. Duis dolor magna, rhoncus at purus ut, efficitur tincidunt velit. Donec quis nulla diam. Nullam ipsum ante, molestie in enim et, maximus sollicitudin odio. Integer consectetur, nisi eu aliquam blandit, justo purus maximus est, in tincidunt nisl nulla sit amet mauris. Vestibulum feugiat sollicitudin leo et interdum. Proin porttitor laoreet consequat. Mauris nibh felis, tincidunt at dapibus ac, mollis at arcu.

This mural has a couple titles we ran with. “The Ramp of Death” and “The Death of Lisa Frank”. We couldn’t decide one or the other so both are used. Gary Musgrave and myself work under the mural team name The Draculas. We were commissioned to paint a mural for a company called The Brand Amp, they are a marketing and communications agency down in Costa Mesa. The owner Marc Altieri is an Indian Motorcycle enthusiast and collaborator. He was interested in having a mural reflect motorcycles, demons, grim reapers- more or less a snapshot of hell. So we went for it…. It was kind of dream job to have then opportunity to work along side with Marc and having him come in everyday stoked!

The Brand Amp produced two episodes documenting the making of the mural. Both episodes feature behind the scene footage, and interviews. Also the progress of the mural form the initial sketches to the final piece.

The Draculas created a 30 day drawing challenge titled Drawculas 30 for 30. Thirty random open ended prompts where put together and anyone was free to hop on for a day or two or contribute to the whole 30 day challenge. The results were amazing and there were so many incredible entries form all over the place.

I selected a few of my prompts in order viewed in the gallery-

Day 1- Sewer Dweller, Day 2- Moonwalk, Day 3- Carpet Crawlers, Day 7- Uranus Attacks, Day 11- Catholic Girls, Day 22- Jungle Cruise, Day 25 Doom, Day 29- Hitchhiker, Day 30 The Captain

The San Jose Sharks have made a reputation of being the team with the unique giveaway items. Last season, the team wanted to stay true to that reputation, while also trying to incorporate more artistic flavor and panache.

The Sharks wanted to take it a step further and work with local- and world-renowned artists to create even more artistic giveaways. The Sharks commissioned a group of artists with diverse styles and backgrounds, giving them creative freedom to reinterpret the Sharks crest in their own style to represent the different perspectives of different fans.

I was commissioned by TDE to design and create a throwback 90’s style Big Head (Celtics, Lakers Bulls inspired group) group shot of the players in the Championship Tour. The Championship Tour was a co-headlining concert tour by the independent record label, Top Dawg Entertainment. The tour featured artists Kendrick Lamar, SZA, ScHoolboy Q, Jay Rock, Ab-Soul, Sir, and Lance Skiiiwalker.

The Draculas are a Southern California-based artist team specializing primarily in illustration-based projects that find inspiration in narrative. Their work has been featured in galleries, videos, murals and on apparel. They officially formed the group in 2015.

I worked with Stance in collaboration with Walt Disney's Fantasia. Released in 1940, it’s an ode to classical music paired up with Disney’s groundbreaking exploration in experimental animation. Fantasia wasn't originally well received when it first premiered but over time it’s been hailed as masterpiece and completely ahead of it’s time. Stance and I worked and developed art from this Disney classic in this special edition Fantasia box set complete with 3 pairs of socks featuring characters and iconic imagery from the film.

Once considered the most popular sport in America, Prigus captured the hearts of Americans for many years. It was a sport than combined pure athleticism and brilliant strategy, and provided towns and cities with pride, hope, and entertainment during a time they needed it most.

We’re here to guide you through the almost lost sport of Prigus. Our objective at the Prigus Sport Historical Society is to preserve the rich history and amazing stories that this sport generated over so many years. Please visit our site and learn about Prigus Sport

18 cities across the United States were selected for Prigus teams starting in the East and slowly making their way across the country. The teams originally were established outside the main cities in the smaller market towns because of the size, advertising disputes and zoning restrictions. As the sport grew in popularity so did the towns, Not only did they did grow in population, but more importantly became hotspots and brought attention to the areas. The colleges' academic and sport programs grew and quickly became desirable schools to attend. There were plans to move the teams to the bigger cities, but the pride of ownership and sometimes the backbone of the towns petitioned them to stay. The legal battles continue but there hasn't been any real threat of a team leaving their city anytime soon.

Each Team in the league has their own specially designed game paddle. The regulation Prigus Paddle is a hand crafted piece of pine wood that measures 22 inches long by 5 inches wide and 3/4 of an inch thick. The playable part of the paddle is 15 inches and the handle is seven making up the 22 inches. The factory that produces all of the paddles since 1922 is in Clayton county Georgia about 10 miles from Rabun Gap. Each Player has their own paddle with their number on it and is equipped with around three to four paddles per game. They get beat up, splintered and sometimes broken in half. Some players drill speed holes in their paddles for faster movement and a lighter feel. Unfortunately their paddles become more fragile and sometimes they run the risk of going through several in a game. Speed holing paddles is not encouragement but overlooked most of the time, it depends mainly on the officials and what kind of mood they are in during game day.
