This was a design that I did for Bob Seger that was not approved;0( I thought I hit the nail on the head with this one. He wanted a classic pinup style girl (not trashy) playing guitar and this is what I came up with. I thought it totaly looked like a classic Seger shirt but I guess he was looking for something a little different. I did two slightly different text treatments as you'll see reflected in the mockup.

This is another design that I did for Alice Cooper that was unfortunately not approved. This design was inspired by the old exploitation movie posters as well as Hitchcock. I wanted it to have a classic Hitchcok kind of feel but just a little more sleazy.

Sorry for the resubmission but i do a fair amount of rework on this and wanted to get some eyes on it. I started out with this being 3 color on a dark and it just wasn't working as well as I would have liked. This is a 5 color design bassed off some of that good ol' Tennessee FIRE WATER!

This is the second design that I plan to offer in my Oktoberfest booth this year. This design is based on German folklore of St. Hubert, He was honored in the Middle Ages as the patron of huntsmen, and the healer of hydrophobia. When hunting, remember to honor the death of the wild animal and utilize the meat with respect. It died so that you might live.

This is a design that I did for John over at Endgame clothing, which is a chess based brand. He wanted, kinda like an old school fight poster design where chess pieces, the Bishop and the Knight are facing off. I loved the concept as I actually do love the game so this is what I came up with. Hope you dig! I can't wait to see this printed! I want one!

Designed for the ShirtFight tattoo design contest. This is a play on traditional Americana tattoo design. Historically sailors going off to see would get tattooed to document their travels and experiences, some of those sailors would not make it back home. This is a tattoo based design using a traditional diving helm to honor that tradition. <a href="http://www.shirtfight.com/vote/entry/death_of_a_sailor/">Click on this bitch to vote!</a>

This is an approved design that I did for Van Halen. The direction was pretty wide open, they just wanted something that would apeal to their target audience of around 30-40 year olds. They wanted something "classic" without being "Vintage" So I went with this bomber art style design.

This is an Approved KISS design that should be released in places like Target and Kohls. The direction for this design was pretty broad but I choose to do something like this because its a pretty popular kind of look for designs that you see in target. Keeping in mind the audience I really wanted to have this design approved. Its not my typical style but I thought it would work for this project and it turned out well.

This is an approved design for Def Leppard. The direction for this was pretty specific, that they wanted a girls Chinese Dragon design colored kind of like water colors. I've never actually done a Chinese Dragon before so this was cool. This was also the first time I've done water color type coloring so I had to do a little research. They originally wanted the design on a light colored tee but then decided they'd like to see it on dark as well so bellow I'll show the two color variations. Both colors should be available on their next tour;0)

This is an approved design for Poison. The creative direction was to just do something that was kind of Americana Tattoo style which is perfect for me... I love that stuff. I decided to go a little retro 80's with the color scheme because after all, it is poison! These shoild be available on their latest tour.

I have a booth for our Nashville based Oktoberfest and I am coming up with a couple of German specific design along with the rest of my line. This is the first design I have come up with. Being a big fan of Halloween, I wanted to work in elements of that... so what better way to do it, but with the classic German monster FRANKENSTEIN! My audience is pretty much drunk collage kids but I did want to do something cool, so its a mock German beer FRANKENSTOUT

This is a design that I completed for Split Reason Clothing Company. The idea behind this design was to create something that was reminiscent of "The Death Knight" that appears in a lot of MMO's and RPG's like World of Warcraft, Dungeons and Dragons, and Magic the Gathering. They wanted something that was dark and magical and would also appeal to their gaming audience. This is a 5 color design.
