Below is my submission to the BlizzCon Original Art Contest. The contest asks for submissions of original art based on any of the Blizzard Entertainment game franchises. As a fan of Warcraft in particular, I wanted to do something based on the World of Warcraft franchise.

Below is an illustration I knocked up fairly quickly for a drink label.
The label is for my dad’s home-brew “Dragon’s Breath” which is butterscotch schnapps with a spicy twist. The aim was to have it look like a fairly authentic label so I made an additional little “distillery” logo; Doc Fubsy is one of his nicknames and 1955 is the year he was born. Read More
Below are a two illustrations from a series of Christmas cards I planned to get printed this year. I was working on these around October when I noticed Christmas merchandise had already hit the shelves (!).
