The Great Robin Williams
I never thought I could have a deep connection with someone who've I have never met but their was something different about the late great entertainer, Robin Williams. His life effected many in different ways and personally he effected me with joy and laughter.
My greatest memory of him, was when my family and I would sit around our television watching his films and be highly impressed with the energy he put into his performance. Most importantly, he taught me how passionate he was about his craft, making him a one of a kind unique individual.
Here is my contribution, remembering the late great Robin Williams.
For, Robin Williams,

For Brandy
Around last year for my birthday, I decided to treat myself to something I always wanted as a child. I bought a 1979, Honda motorcycle that was in pieces and was in no where near running condition. I learned a lot about mechanical engineering, and electronics to help put it back together and make it run better than it use to and converting the simple street bike, into a vintage cafe racer.
I knew after hearing it start up for the first time I wanted to name my bike after one of my best friends and dearest family member that past away early 2012. Brandy was more than a family pet and I always wanted to make an art project to honor her life and to always remind me of our good times.
What started off as a simple logo to be the theme of my motorcycle build turned into something a lot more detailed than what I expected. The logo it self started off as simple sketch inspired by old school motorcycle badges you would see on denim vests, and posters. The logo it self was made to be put on my helmet, gas tank, and made into stickers and badges. Everything was pretty much done in illustrator and the display picture was done in photoshop with a few high res photos from the internet.
Stayed tuned for final results of finished products from stickers, badges and helmet.
Thanks for reading,
In loving memory of Brandy, 1995-2012

Bear Girl Skate Deck
Over the holidays I was doodling in my sketchbook and was practicing a certain style similar to a tattoo artists I came across on instagram. I came up with a girl wearing a bear head piece and thought it would look good on a skateboard deck. I turned the doodle into a vector image using Adobe illustrator and added a Mexican sugar skull to the image. The background for the Skateboard deck was also done in illustrator with multiple wood texture images. The skateboard is set to print, and will post images as soon as it arrives.
