I’m very excited to show you something I put a lot of work into and thoroughly enjoyed working on. I have been working with Scholastic and amazingly talented, award winning author Pamela Butchart illustrating a new children’s book called “Diary of a Future Billionaire”. The book released a few days ago in the UK and is available now! The Telegraph wrote a review and the book is popping up on bookshelves all over the UK.

The book follows the adventures of Ben (and his best friend Bilal) as he goes through several hilarious money making ventures to become a 10 year old billionaire!
I drew over a 400 illustrations for the inside of this book and a double full color illustration for the cover! I really appreciate the creative freedom Pamela and Scholastic gave me when bringing these amazing characters to life. I’m especially fond of Bilal and his willingness to always be there for Ben.

Go buy the book. It’s great.

My two previous designs for Gaidama work out wear created in 2024 were a hit with their consumers. I was asked to return and design more, which is always awesome. This time I was tasked with designing a trippy, psychedelic pattern to cover the popular rash guard sets Gaidama offer and a USA themed limited edition pattern design to celebrate the 4th July. Both sets boasted super detailed repeat patterns with everything but the kitchen sink packed in.

The trippy one had mushrooms, planets, weird skulls, symbols and words galore. Using a neon colored palette with a black base made this one pop! The second design was all American with symbols, flags, icons and characters that sum up that good ol’ USA pride. This was fun design with a traditional red, white and blue color choice. Both designs have been received well and only limited sizes are available. If your looking for workout gear or Jiu Jitsu wear, Gaidama is the place.

Golf Envy is an indoor golf simulator that provides members with a country club-like experience. With a membership, you can reserve simulator time, receive professional instruction, and participate in exclusive events and tournaments. Their HQ is based in California and I was tasked with designing and painting a large mural for their new space. They wanted my unique style with a golf twist and I was happy to oblige.

The design was centered around, characters, sayings, relevant words and personal easter egss from the five founders. They gave me a lot of creative freedom and soon the final design was approved to start painting. The 18′ x 13′ wall took 5 days and really made a unique centerpiece to the building. It’s used for the backdrop for videos, part of the brand score branding and encapsulates the core values of the club houses.

Golf Envy is growing and with each new venue comes a custome version of the original mural. This project was a lot of fun and I met some really awesome people through this experience. As Golf Envy grow, so will the mural walls and hopefully other unique branding opportunities too.

Club Batard is a members’ wine and dining club based in Pedder Street, Hong Kong. This gorgeous location (check out their website) now has a whisky bar called OBE which showcases some of the best whisky in the world.

I am very proud to present the bottle label I designed for one of their special limited edition whisky releases. This Laphroaig 1998 25-year-old single cask whisky is covered in my art.

This is Club Batard’s first exclusive bottling of 2025. I was tasked with designing a label that represents the home of OBE, Pedder Building. The label is covered with many of Hong Kong sightseeing and traditional cultural icons. It is sprinkled with some of Club Batard’s very own signature food and icons that have been presented as dynamic, playful characters.

This Laphroaig 1998 25-year-old is a very limited release of just 198 bottles. It will be exclusively available from OBE Whisky Bar at Club Batard. Thank you for this amazing opportunity @obewhisky @clubbatard Cheers!

I have joined forces with Trexii again, but this time for a good cause. This blind box set of toy figures supports the National Kidney Foundation (Singapore). It’s a Blind Box Series including 12 artists, me being one of them! My toy consists of a big foot character on one half and a skeleton on the other. The final toy is approved and is in full production. The set will be available for purchase in early January 2025!

Cayce recently released this design I created for their awesome golf club covers. Cayce bring fresh and artistic approaches to traditional golfing gear. This cover was a mix of golf signature items and my distinctive illustrative style. The print quality is really nice and the product is very durable. Both sizes sold out already which is an amazing feeling. Projects like this are creatively fun, unique and bring my art to a new audience.
