This is a sweet doggy named spike who just took a Sunday poop. He is proud of his work. He likes to circle it a few times to inspect it and kick dirt on it to make sure the stank wafts toward his family members. He seems to say – look what I did as he smiles big and drools a little. Bark bark bark.

This is a shiny red crab who just got shiny metal braces. Chomp chomp. He likes to fiddle around in the sand making sand monsters and pretending he is a metal robot blasting through polka dotted nebulas in a bright red rocket ship. Snibeti Snab.

This mascot is a stubborn burro for the Boro with alert eyes and a mischievous smirk, dressed in casual shorts, a tank top, and a blue backpack.

I just created a mascot redesign for the Arkansas Razorbacks. He represents the down to earth determination and grit of Southern people.

The Big Bad Wolf is a notorious character often found in fairy tales, particularly known for his roles in stories like “The Three Little Pigs” and “Little Red Riding Hood.” He is typically portrayed as cunning and ruthless, using his wits to deceive and trap his prey. Despite his fearsome reputation, the Big Bad Wolf sometimes gets outsmarted by clever protagonists in these classic tales. I portrayed him with industrialist’s top hat with a louis vuitton pattern.

I like scissor-tailed flycatchers because of their long forked tails that flow very gracefully in flight, making them one of the most elegant birds. Their soft pastel colors, with a mix of pale gray, salmon pink, and black are beautiful. I also admire their agility as they effortlessly catch insects midair, showing their incredible precision and skill.

This is a painting of Hunter S. Thompson’s myna bird Edward. The bird’s piercing gaze and slightly ruffled feathers hint at its infamous foul-mouthed personality, embodying Thompson’s gonzo energy. His brain swirls with chaotic waves and his inner life bubbles and pops as his mind is caught in a fever dream of Fear and Loathing.

A massive grey shark glided silently through the deep, its shadow swallowing the sunlight above. Below, a tiny goldfish trembled, its bright scales flashing as it darted behind a swaying piece of coral. The shark’s cold black eyes lingered for a moment before it swam away, leaving the goldfish frozen in fear.

This is an angry green bug with a red frown­ing mouth and round white teeth stand­ing. He scur­ries around in his retro sneak­ers bit­ing peo­ple and leav­ing itchy red bumps on their skin.

A quirky blue fish named Benny swims through the coral reef with a shiny set of braces, glinting like treasure in the sunlight. Rubber bands crisscross his tiny fishy teeth, making his grin both comical and endearing to the other sea creatures. Despite his unique look, Benny proudly flashes his metallic smile, proving that confidence can make waves anywhere!

This is an illustration of a blue mosquito that I did a long time ago. I updated it using my iPad Pro. The changes seem insubstantial but they add much character to the design. I added thicker and more detailed legs and added hairs to his thorax and antenna. I also updated his wing detail and changed his buggy eyes. The thing that the iPad does so well is let me pull freehand lines like I would with a pen or brush. This is far faster and easier than drawing them with the curve tool in photoshop or trying to draw them on a wacom intuos in photoshop with brush smoothing turned on.

This is Hairy Dawg. He is the beloved jacked sideline mascot of the Georgia Bulldogs. He walks around getting the crowd hyped up holding up the number one sign and doing pushups.

This is a happy toucan high up in the rainforest canopy. He likes to eat sweet fruits and talk to his lantern bug bro Paco. He usually makes a mess when he eats and lits to scream and screech. He sometimes flies around his neighborhood but he mainly sits in one place and chills and listens to music.

A mighty blue bull, radiating with fierce energy, stomps through the vibrant meadow, his eyes blazing with determination. Perched delicately on his towering horns are two tiny yellow birds, a stark contrast to his intense demeanor. Despite the bull’s powerful presence, the birds remain undisturbed, chirping softly as if calming the storm within him.

I have many years of experience designing t-shirts. As soon as I got out of college I got a job working at places that printed apparel because – let’s face it – finding an art related job in South Georgia is not easy. Most of my school mates who fought so hard to get accepted into Graphic Design at UGA ended up in sales with a comfortable life. Me on the other hand – I struggled for 20 years trying to support myself using art skills and it wasn’t easy. One thing it did is make me incredibly good at treading water and using Adobe apps better than pretty much anybody. This is a t-shirt of GUS I designed for Georgia Southern. I got a job in Statesboro a long time ago and I always liked it there.

The spam fish, adorned with oversized nerd glasses and a snug beanie hat, made an oddly charming sight as it bobbed along in its underwater world. Its quirky accessories seemed to amplify its already peculiar demeanor, giving it an air of intellectual curiosity. Despite its canned origins, the fish’s fashion-forward ensemble suggested a playful personality beneath the surface.

I took UGA’s new bulldog mascot and painted him to have more depth and form. I also redrew to give him an attitude so he looks a little angry. One of the main drawbacks of their vector logo is he seems too blank. He is lacking that junkyard dog spirit.

The plump pigeon, strutting with a casual air, sported a dapper porkpie hat perched jauntily atop its head while wearing pigeon dunks. A roach dangled from its beak, the smoke curling lazily in the air as it gave off an effortlessly cool vibe. The combination of its stylish headgear, indulgent treat, and laid-back smoking made the pigeon an unmistakable urban legend of avian swagger.

A tepid red bass with an intriguing twist—a set of vibrant purple lips and fins—swims with a peculiar flair. Its striking color combination creates a bold contrast, making it stand out in the aquatic world. The purple accents give it a unique, almost whimsical character that’s hard to ignore.
