Pugs, Puns, and Punk: This Is Somehow My Job

I often will spend a lot of time on a piece really perfecting it. Sometimes I look at the finished product and think, How the hell is this your job? Luckily, it's in the best possible way one could wonder such a thing.

I did this shirt design for Fat Sandwich Records in Birmingham, Alabama. They are a badass label/store with a stage and full-service barber shop inside. 

This shirt design was art directed by the owner, Daniel Drinkard. It's a parody of Minor Threat’s Out of Step album art. You can buy the shirt here!

Holtermonster x Live From Memphis

My first t-shirt for Live From Memphis! These bad boys are discharge printed (bleached & dyed into the fabric rather than printed with ink on top) and EDITIONED! That's right, there's only 100 and each one is numbered.

A Sobering Look at the Drunkest Street in Memphis

I’ve been working on a series of pen & ink illustrations of Beale Street—a tourist trap where I bartend. Specifically focusing on bartenders and musicians that work on the street, and their perspectives.
