Industry Experience

Consumer Goods, Manufacturing, Retail, Wholesale & Distribution
    uniE621 I Don't Need Glasses
    Private label t-shirt design with fun typography mixing an eye chart with a wine or beer bottle.
    uniE621 AC/DC Griffin Tee
    Licensed AC/DC t-shirt with a hand drawn Affliction art style.
    uniE621 AC/DC Filigruitar Tee
    Licensed AC/DC t-shirt design in an Affliction brand art style with a guitar fret board incorportated within the filigree.
    uniE621 AC/DC Highway To Hell
    Licensed AC/DC vintage t-shirt design. A remix of a standard vintage AC/DC tee, but with reduced colors and distress for greater authenticity as a "vintage" t-shirt.
    uniE621 Vintage Aerosmith Tee
    Licensed Aerosmith vintage T-shirt design. This one is my solution to a long going trend of creating a "vintage" look by simply adding distress. While I did add distress, I also stylized and reduced the amount of colors needed to print this design to be more accurate to how t-shirts would have actually been printed during the vintage era.
    uniE621 Browning Camp Badge
    Licensed t-shirt design for Browning Firearms inspired by summer camp and/or travel badges.
    uniE621 Browning Neon Buckmark
    Licensed t-shirt design for Browning Firearms. I used the flat vector buckmark logo to build out this "Neon Sign".
    uniE621 Birds of Paradise
    Private label t-shirt design with photo of Birds of Paradise flowers and custom typography.
    uniE621 Pacific Paradise Apparel
    This is a graphic created for a local screen printing shop mixing Southern California culture and screen printing. Intended for a promotional t-shirt, but ended up on a bag.
    uniE621 Poison Every Rose Has It's Thorn
    Licensed t-shirt design for the band Poison in the Affliction brand art style.
    uniE621 Rad-itude T-shirt
    Fun, retro, private label design with a positive message for boys and young men.
