Wolfman's Got Rad!

Soon to be available from 410 BC

So there was one night when I just couldn't get to sleep. So I decided I would start working on my Halloween designs. So I popped in "The Monster Squad" and long story short I stayed up until 6am and worked on this guy. What a great movie "The Monster Squad" is!

Dead Shred!

Submitted to Threadless

I've always wondered what Mummies do when they come back from the dead and aren't trying to kill people? I like to think they like to shred the city streets, in between eating brains and striking revenge on those that have harmed them.

I Wrestled a Werewolf Once!

Soon to be available from I Wrestled A Bear Once

So after seeing my "Wolfman's Got Rad!" design, the band I Wrestled a Bear Once approached me because they wanted a shirt like that done. I decided to go all out on this one, basing it off of their "Tastes Like Kevin Bacon" music video. Yes that is a blow up guitar!

Slime Man!

Design is for Sale!

So I was watching Return of the Living Dead one night, and I got some inspiration from one of the coolest zombies in the world, Tarman! This is my homage to him, but a little more slime and a lot more color. The colors are heavily inspired by retro skateboard graphics.

Zombie Faith

Soon to be available from Creep Street!

I grew up as a religious kid in the Catholic Church. Went to Sunday school, did Confirmation and all that. That kind of stuff has died down a bit in my life, but I like to think that Zombies can have faith too! After all, Jesus is the most famous person to rise from the dead!

Beware of the Slime Monster!

Design is SOLD! (More Info Soon!)

I was watching some old cartoons one day; in one of the cartoons they had a Tar Monster on it. I thought that looked like a pretty good idea, so I made this little guy. I ditched the tar for slime, and the brown ugly colors for bright and unthreatening ones. Isn't he cute?

What's For Dinner?

Design is for Sale!

So this is the final (maybe) in a series that started out as something that I wanted to do when I was bored. Of course, as you can see, it has evolved into a series of designs. I kept on trying to see how gross and gruesome I could get. I think I got it, but there is always dessert!

What's For Lunch?

Submitted to Designs By Humans. VOTE for it!

The second installment in the "What's For...?" series. This was actually the first one I did, the one that started it all. It was inspired by Return of the Living Dead and the Garbage Pail Kids cards. This one is pretty gross, but things can always get a lot grosser!

What's For Breakfast?

Submitted to Desired Hearts. VOTE for it!

Ah breakfast! The most important meal of the day. I for one always miss breakfast because I sleep in way to late, but not this guy. This guy starts his day out with a nice helping of eyes, ears, fingers and other goop. He does look happy, even thought the stuff he is eating is gross!

Ectoplasm Cooler

Purchase Now! From Word! Apparel

So, if you know me, it's no secret that I LOVE Ghostbusters and the Real Ghostbusters cartoon. I also loved Ecto-Cooler from Hi-C. This is my homage to that drink. Hi-C, you NEED to bring this back for me, the imitations just aren't the same! Pretty pretty please?!?!

Marilyn DEADroe

Design is for Sale!

My friends have been bugging me because I use way too much color in my designs. So I decided to take that challenge and make a simple design of one of my favorite old actresses. The one and only Marilyn Monroe, interpret it how you will, I was just trying new things.

Pyk Vid

Rejected Design for Pyknic

So I was approached by Pyknic to do a t-shirt design, sort of a homage to the old Burger King Kids Club! Specifically Kid Vid. I was super excited about this, but unfortunately it didn't turn out the way we both hoped. Maybe I'll revise it in hopes that one day they'll like it and print it!

pteRADical!

Sale of Design Pending

So this was probably the design I have had the most fun making. My favorite dinosaur is, of course, the Pterodactyl. I wanted to make a design that reminded me of the kind of stuff I wore as a kid, with crazy designs and bright colors, and of course he has to be skateboarding.

Monster Cupcake

Design is for Sale!

So I did this with Johnny Cupcakes in mind. I sent this off to him, but no reply, oh well. Anyways, I wanted to try something a little bit different with this design. Only 4 colors were used, CMYK. Done with the use of different layer properties. I wanted to give it an offset printing look also.
