Today is another poster anniversary!

Two years ago I got to create this one for Primus at Grind City Amphitheater in Memphis, and it’s still one of my favorites.

The idea of a completely unhinged redneck Skunk Ape just cracked me up, and I had an absolute blast bringing this guy to life. Sometimes an idea hits and you know immediately that it’s going to be fun to draw—this was definitely one of those.

The print did pretty well when it dropped, but I still have a handful of artist copies hanging around for anyone who missed it the first time.

Happy anniversary to this absolute legend and thanks again, Primus.

Dulce Veneno

Two takes on the same sting. 🦂

I had a lot of fun developing these two scorpion designs—one built around a darker, fully rendered red/black/gray palette, and the other stripped back to a clean red-and-black line treatment on white.
Same artwork. Completely different feel.

It’s been a while since I’ve done some Día de los Muertos-inspired art, and a scorpion seemed like a fun subject to draw.

Sketched in Procreate, then painted and rendered in Photoshop.

Which one are you picking: BLACK or WHITE? 🦂🌹

August 16th is always a special day for me.

First and most importantly, it’s my brother Logan’s birthday. Love you, Logan!

It also marks two years since I got my first opportunity to create artwork for Metallica—something I’m still incredibly grateful for.

This diptych remains one of my favorite pieces I’ve ever created, and I’m especially thankful for all the opportunities that have come from it since.

Pretty cool to look back and realize how much can change in two years.

Trick Or Tweet is now available on my website.

Available in 3 colors and with 2 unique designs.

“Living in Arizona, we see these little guys running around everywhere, usually in a line with the whole family in tow. So naturally, I had to imagine what they’d look like heading out for Halloween night.

The result is Trick or Tweet—a little quail family dressed up and ready to score some candy. A fun mix of Halloween, family, and a little bit of the desert we call home.”

I sketched up some more quail chicks. What to do like? The mixed costumes or the 3 little Ghost?

I got some pretty positive feedback from yesterday's post and Inthink I'm going to make some shirts and stickers.

I wanted to take another stab at the style. I simplified it a bit and pushed it a little in the Disney direction style wise.

I'll do some more baby quail in costumes :)

I can't take any credit for this, even though I wish I could. This was all my wife's @lpasieka idea.

I'm lucky to have her.

Sorry for the lack of posts lately. I’ve been slammed.

As most of you know, I work a day job, do freelance work, and on top of all that, I try my best to be a good husband and dad. And apparently, being an illustrator now also means I’m supposed to be a “content creator,” and it's rough to keep up with all the stupid nonsense that comes with that. 😂

All that to say—stuff is cooking.
I’ve got two more posters that I’ll finally be able to share this fall, which is a huge blessing and something I’m really excited about.

And as a few of you know, I’ve also been fortunate enough to collaborate with State Forty Eight since last October. Here’s a slew of designs I’ve worked on with them recently.

It’s definitely more design than illustration work, but it’s been a fun challenge, a chance to stretch some different creative muscles, and I’m incredibly thankful for the opportunity.

Anyway, I’m still here. Still making stuff. Just terrible at remembering to post about it.

I hope you all are having a great weekend, and God Bless.
