New Souls inspired merch design for Imperial Triumphant, which will be available exclusively on their upcoming tour. As a big Fromsoft fan this is some of the most fun I’ve ever had making merch. There’s so many little details and Easter eggs in here, see if you can catch them! 2025, digital.

“RELIQUARY” new official merch design for Ghost 😈 My lucky number 13th Ghost design revealed thus far is the tarnished idolatry of Papa V Perpetua’s unholy remains.

“Spiderlord” design for Ghost last year. I had worked on this as part of a Halloween collection with a few others, but this one wound up coming out much earlier. One of my favorites, real proud of that spider ghoul! 2024, digital.

I somehow wound up with so many Curta’n Wall patches that I had no choice but to make an entirely Curta’n Wall battle vest. Peep the gold stud castle trim 🏰

Two-handed sword

“Woven Blasphemy” Plughead & Patchie portraits for Pull The Plug Patches ads/merch! 🔌🪡 2024, mixed media & digital.

“Mouth of Hell” for Pull The Plug Patches. Full page magazine ad and long sleeve design. These guys were incredibly cool to work with. I love how their brand is basically world building shaped by all the artists they commission within the metal art sphere. So sick! 2024, mixed media & digital.

“Gargoyle” loungewear set I made for Ghost last year. Hoodie back and sweatpants hip/leg designs. Perhaps my favorite Ghost art I’ve done thus far, and also the merch I wear the most often! Wanted to go hard on vibes from The Crow & Dracula ‘92. 2023, digital.

“Earthworks” album cover for Mortalis. Based on long term nuclear waste sites. Been thinking about this one again after seeing The Brutalist. 2024, mixed media & digital.

And it’s such a ride! “Coaster” merch design for Ghost. I got a bunch of these so I’m trying to pepper them in. After my annual trip to Horror Nights Orlando I was inspired by all the wacky theme park shirts in the gift shops, on top of being a lifelong RCT head. 2022, digital.

“God Is Illustrated” Anyone else think Andrew WK’s “God is Partying” is a masterpiece like I do? When it came out (and when had time to make art for fun), I was obsessed and drew all these tribute pieces of my favorite tracks. I miss this guy, long live the party! 2021, mixed media & digital.

“Corvian Curse,” my second stout label art for Brujos Brewing 🐦‍⬛ 2024, mixed media & digital.

“Spitalfields Nemesis,” my second design for Ghost that was released alongside the MOAC cover in 2022. Based on Impera’s finale track “Respite on the Spitalfields,” this piece was a tribute to John Tenniel’s 1888 editorial illustration portraying Jack the Ripper. 2022, mixed media & digital.

“Malicide” series for Molten’s 2nd LP. Follows the story of a Templar knight who arrives at the doors of Hell instead of Heaven upon death for the bloodshed he caused. Released from Transylvanian Recordings last year. Great SF thrashing death, and great buds ⚔️ 2022, mixed media & digital.

“Mary On A Cross” reissue single / “Message From The Clergy” compilation cover art for Ghost. This cover was my debut artwork for Ghost back in 2022 and I’m grateful to say they’ve kept me quite busy ever since! Also an homage to one of my favorite movies, Caligula! 2022, mixed media & digital.

“Red Communion” stout label for Brujos Brewing. One of the coolest things of last year was beginning my ongoing collaboration with Brujos. We’ve worked together pretty constantly since this first release, so expect much more. So grateful for these buds 🔥 2024, mixed media & digital.

One of my biggest inspos that fed into my mixed media process. Although a bit different in how we do it, I can absolutely pinpoint specifically Grady’s work giving me the push to incorporate the monoprint technique into illustration years ago. Nobody does it like him, a real master of the form 🔥
