Poinsettia Ornament, Inktense

Here’s another poinsettia illustration I did recently using Derwent Inktense Pencils on bristol. It was really just a doodle but I thought it would look cute on some Christmas ornaments. I think it works; it’s very handmade-looking, don’t you think? It originally had some ribbons curled at the top, as if the whole thing was […]

Ride Free Motorcycle and American Flag

This design is based on two older illustrations of mine. The motorcycle is modeled after my own Honda Shadow VLX, and the flag is another illustration I did as a background for a v-twin engine illustration. I combined the two, and added the gold metallic circle and the shiny gold type that reads “RIDE FREE”. […]

Living with the Throttle Wide Open

I wanted to create a design that relates the feeling of riding. When you open up that throttle, and feel the wind in your face and the warm sun on your arms, and spend a whole summer day out on the road. Riding truly is a way of life. It reminds me of when I […]
