Hockey Jersey Designs
One thing that I’ve wanted to add to my shop for many years are hockey jerseys showcasing my various works. As a huge hockey fanatic, designing hockey jerseys is something I’ve wanted to add to my portfolio for a while. Well, now I finally can!
Point, Texas — Life On The Road
On January 1st, 2023, Bailey and I hit the road for the next nine months. Our first stop of the year was at Thousand Trails Lake Tawakoni in Point, Texas. This stop was just an hour east of Dallas. From here, we visited Dallas multiple times and we made a visit to Arkansas and Louisiana too.

Mackinac Island, Michigan 2021
Mackinac Island, Michigan is a unique island. This island in Lake Huron has outlawed motorized vehicles in an effort to keep the natural environment intact and healthy. Though we visited during the offseason and nothing but a bike rental business was open, we still truly enjoyed our time, maybe even more so than we would have during the busy season.
Tahquamenon Falls, Upper Peninsula, Michigan
An unexpected detour on our way to Sault Saint Marie from the Lower Peninsula of Michigan, Tahquamenon Falls is a beautiful outdoor experience in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. The beauty of the landscape and the natural sound of the falls and nature is something to truly love.
Visiting Alabama In The Winter
It may not be the most common time of year for someone to visit Alabama, but this was the time of year that fit Bailey and me the most. We were definitely surprised in a lot of ways with what the state had to offer and as you might expect, I took a few photographs of the experience. Here’s the story.
Happy Accident — Digital Painting
One of my favorite programs to watch is The Joy of Painting with Bob Ross. A few years ago I came across the Bob Ross Twitch channel where they stream The Joy of Painting non-stop all weekend long, every weekend. I would watch it whenever I was home and during the weekdays, I would just watch the full-length episodes on YouTube. I’ve wanted to give the painting method that Bob taught so many people a shot, but haven’t had the chance yet. So, I went with the next best thing, I tried it digitally…sort of. Using my iPad, I made this.
Dead Circus — Graphic Art
This artwork stems from my love of Halloween and Horror. It’s a design that began with what used to formerly be my logo when I first graduated college with my degree in Graphic Design | Media Arts. Over the years, I have since updated my logo in an effort to fit my wide array of works, but still love my old logo, so I repurposed it. It was around the time of the first It movie release that I decided to use the Pennywise face paint as inspiration, mostly the smile. Since then, this design has certainly been one of my favorites and I’ve added it to a lot of products now available in my online store.

Across the water is the state of New York and the Adirondack Mountains. This photo gallery features photographs from my first visit to this unique city.
The Damned — Book Cover Design
The Damned is a book written by Algernon Blackwood back in 1914. Blackwood was a well-respected and well-known horror story writer of his time. The book is in the open-source age of its life, so I decided to create a cover design as a school project while working towards my degree. Book cover design is something that I would love to get more work in.

Immortal Phalcon was my gaming brand for a few years. It’s no secret that a few years ago, video game content creators began proving that they’re capable of making money with gaming.

While I was better at the marketing and design materials to this venture than the actual gaming content, I still am proud of the work I did with Immortal Phalcon.
