American Taxi Shirt

I like to think of American Taxi as the spin-off to Lucky Boys Confusion…except unlike a spinoff, they are as good as the original. I did a spec shirt design for them, feel free to leave a comment (especially if you like it)…it’s kind of a wip, but you get the idea…

Merch Design for The Get Go

I almost forgot to put this up…some of the guys from Allister (among other chicago punk-pop bands) formed a new band and, well, I just had to do a shirt for them…check it below!

Merch Design

Something I’ve gotten into recently has been merch design for bands, clubs at school, ect…it’s a fun way to express myself and know a lot of people will see my work (and my buddies will make a few dollars and pay for gas)…check out some of my new designs below:
