Yay for IPAs!




Here's three like 'magazine style' ads for three different IPA's that I suggest you get your hands on.

Homebrew Beer


Here's some, homebrew labels and an ad that I did after my second batch of homebrew beer which in my opinion turn out exceptionally well, hopefully brewing some more beer within the next few weeks..

Some Old Tech Signatures


Here we go, Macho! Starting FS for the Philadelphia Eagles now, let's see how he does.





This was done when Tech had the best linebacker duo in a while, Adibi and Hall. Adibi has made an impact down in Houston. As far as I know Hall was signed by some team after the draft and then cut not too long after. But anyways, they enforced the D back in Blacksburg.

The Showdown We've Been Waiting For...


WEEK THREE WILL BE UPON US SOON ENOUGH BITCHES!! Let's see it Mike Vick cause I know Bentley doesn't mess around. Some may call it bandwagon, but let's go Eagles!

Insane Bolt..


Usain on the inside lane; inspired from recent weeks ago, Usain Bolt's unbelievable breaking of his own world records....I thought, who is the fastest in history? Speedy Gonzalez, Superman,....nope...... Meep, Meep! Damn straight, the Road Runner. Done pretty quick minus painting the background with too small of a brush, oh well, let me know what you think.

MONEY, CARS, HOES!!




I'm whiter than coke, eyes always bloodshot and I smell like smoke, some bitches take this rap game serious, bitch I just joke, try me and I'll crack ya egg lookin' for ya yolk. There's a little demo of the sick shit that Mr. OZ spits on the mic. Check it, here's a few pieces of artwork for my rap alter-ego, Don CRoZMaN, aka CC Smooth, C-Money, Mr.O-Z!

The new covers of XXL from the 3700 Crew!

The Strength, The Respect, The Tears


This is a digital remake of an idea that I had originally painted on canvas. I really think it turned out well for an idea of a tattoo that I hope to someday bear on my own body(- minus the background colors.) But, as for my motivation for this particular piece, I wanted something artistically symbolic of how I perceive myself as an individual, as well as include things that I respect and appreciate. First off, the background colors were picked simply because I thought it went well with the mood of the piece and helped the artwork pop. The text crazy fool is taken from a biography written about Sublime's lead singer, Brad Nowell. I have grown up a Sublime fan and ever since I heard 'What I Got' on a Matt Hoffman BMX video game in the mid-90's. I have that influence as well, I have also grown up filming stupid, 'Jackass' inspired stunts in my spare time with my friends, thus, helped to boast my claim of being a crazy fool. The lion is a symbol a strength and power. The roar is symbolic of my short and combustible temper. Another detail that I want to add to the lion is a few dreads within the lion's mane cause I think it will look sweet. The wave coming from behind the text is a symbol for the power of the ocean, and it being the universal symbol of life. The tear in the lion's eye is symbolic of the struggles in my life (both, big and small) and is supposed to illustrate the desire to fight through the difficult times in life. Let me know what you think of the artwork, or even, my inspiration for individual components of the piece.

Fresh Ink!



I have wanted to get a tattoo for years now, but I have always been timid and danced around the reality of actually getting one done. I've have justified my delay by beliefs such that; I want something permanently on my body, but I want it to really mean something to me and be symbolic and artistic to others as well. I consider myself relatively artistic and creative and have continued to keep the believe that I would only want my artwork on my body, at least at this point in my life.

I have one idea that I am satisfied with for a tattoo, but there are some rough edges that still need to be ironed out before I would get it done all over my chest. But, other than that I have a lot of artwork that I appreciate, but I need to continue to attempt to paint, draw, and create original ideas and pieces of artwork that not only I enjoy and respect, but maybe someday my work can find its way to a human canvas. But, until that day, I vow to flood the web with my mind and how I perceive the outside. Please let me know what you think; the good, the bad, and the ugly, and feel free to leave any ideas for any artwork you want me to attempt to complete.
