Defy Extreme Air Sports Parks and Fluid Studios asked me to illustrate three detailed illustrations for their 2023 campaign. The campaign centered around getting children off screens and into activities. Catering to adults and kids, their parks are stretched out across the USA with 61 locations! They offer a range of attractions from Trampolines, Battle beams, extreme dodge ball, basketball, air tracks, kid specific jump areas, Ninja courses, parkour courses, stunt falls, trapeze and aerial silks, wall tramp and zip lines! The illustrations were placed over existing photography to create a funny and unique approach to attract customers into the parks. I created three detailed doodle style illustrations and three hand drawn lettering pieces to go with them.

Defy extended the campaign to their sister companies Rockin’ Jump and Sky Zone too. The campaign consisted of emails, digital ads, banner ads, animated gifs, homepage banners and social media assets. The final art work can be seen here. It was great to work with this team again. I worked on another campaign in the previous year, it’s always nice to be asked back!

Seal Jewelry based in Norway, let me run wild with one of their rings. Filling such a small space was challenging but super fun. Their rings are hand crafted and laser etched for precision. I really didn’t know if they could achieve the level of detail in the art but the final product came out amazing. Seal gave me a lot of creative freedom and I’m super appreciative of this opportunity. They also did a short interview which was also a great experience. You can read the interview here and purchase the ring here.

What an incredible project. Through Instagram I was introduced to Time Engraver, a watch craftsman who makes one of a kind engraved watches and jewelry. Time Engraver took a Maurice LaCroix watch and hand engraved the entire thing with my doodles. The level of detail and painstaking work this took blows my mind. It is a one of a kind piece that was truly a labor of love. I am both flattered and humbled that Time Engraver wanted to embark on this project with my art. The final piece is nothing short of incredible. A truly unique piece. Click to see more photos of the incredible details. I doodled the hell out of every millimeter of this thing. An amazing opportunity and a truly amazing final product.

Drop Clothing are a street wear brand hailing from the North of the UK. They reached out to do a collaboration. Their attitude and creative energy instantly drew me to work with them. I was given an open canvas and an opportunity to do some fun street wear related art. I created three key pieces of art that could be printed on different garments and accessories. Drop requested my signature doodle style in limited color. I created smooth vector lines and a logo lock up for the collection. The designs were printed on tees, sweaters, bags, hoodies and some limited edition shoes. The final product had some very nice detailing and they even printed a pizza style delivery box to send the items out to customers. Custom boxes, free buttons and a beautifully executed product made this collaboration really great. You can see the collection here.

This year I partnered with Strumace, a UK based mousepad manufacturer specializing in gaming mousepads. I was drawn to the large formats they sold and was intrigued by their offer to collaborate. They sent me a sample and I am typing this from a keyboard sitting on the pad. It is very high quality and the print is awesome. The detail and color is sharp so it’s a perfect platform for my doodles. I designed several designs and all are available for purchase here.

This commission has been one of my favorites this year. One because it was a fun subject matter – baked goods packaging doodle. Two because the internet and our global connectivity allows me to work with an independently ran bakery in Korea! The Korean bakery Scone Ccllim commissioned me to make a doodle for their packaged goods. The doodle includes their signature scones and other baked goodies. We were two people, both unable to speak the other persons language on the opposite sides of the globe. Using the Google translate app we were able to communicate just sufficiently enough to make this project happen! I love these times we live in. Such a fun project. Check out all the details, there are many!
