Wildland Fighter


Land Fire Fighter - another tattoo design i drew up for a friend who is a Wildland Fire Fighter. He was pretty specific on what he wanted, so i didn't have too much freedom with drawing the design up other then the writing, the initials "MD", and the fire. But other then that i think it turned out really well, and my friend loved it. I just can't wait to see after he gets it on his skin!

Jesus Face


Jesus Face - tattoo design i made this semester for one of my friends. all he said was that he wanted a design of Jesus, so this is what i came up with; a pixelated Jesus face.

Free Like Feet Want To Be


Free Like Feet Want To Be - this drawing is from a Nike Free Running advertisement in a Runners World magazine. the true reason why i did this was actually for an art 107 assignment; but after i completed the assignment i felt like i would include it in my art portfolio. the running shoes become a symbol to the saying "Free Like Feet Want To Be." but whats funny is how the advertisements lead the viewers so strongly into what their selling, that they lead you away without thinking about the bad outcomes of the object being sold. for example, how much is this running shoe, how comfortable is it truly, does it tear easily, how long will it last? all these questions become unanswered to those who don't have a lot of experience in the running field; which makes this advertisement very deadly into making a great profit.
