My mom was a painter, she taught me so much about art in my lifetime.  Before she got sick, she started this painting of the Red Canyon (here in Wyoming), but never got past painting the sky.  After she passed away, I vowed to finish it.  I have never really painted a landscape before, but I have to say, I am pretty pleased with how it turned out!

The Lincoln Theater in Cheyenne, Wyoming commissioned me to create this promo art for Ice Cube's concert at their venue.

Back in 2017, I was commissioned by filmmaker Kevin Smith to do a poster to be sold his live event in Boulder, Colorado. Unfortunately, do to some logistical errors, it didn't get used for the gig.  I thought after all these years I can share it.

These are some of the guitar history illustrations I created for Norman's Rare Guitars in Tarzana, California.

These are various custom comic book themed commissions I have done recently.

This is a banner illustration I created for the Wyoming Department of Health for their annual conference. 

During the summer of 2023, working with Cheyenne based advertising firm RMI, I designed a new logo for Cheyene Regional Airport.
