Returns & Refunds – Drink the Paint Water

It is my honor to work with you to make your experience a wonderful one and to make sure you are happy with your new art! If the artwork is damaged in any way during shipping, please contact me right away (and send along photos so that I can file an insurance claim). You may choose a new piece or I can issue you a refund (less shipping charges).

If you are simply unhappy with your painting, you may return it within 7 business days. You must package the painting in exactly the same fashion as it was when it arrived to you (you may reuse the packaging). I will email you my mailing address to return the painting. Return shipping fees, like all shipping charges, are the customer’s responsibility. Once I have the painting in perfect condition, we can proceed with a refund (less shipping charges) or with choosing a new piece (of equal or lesser value). If you would like to see how a painting might look in your space before purchasing feel free to take a nice photo of the space straight-on and email it to me. I will need the measurements of the wall as well. I will Photoshop the painting in so you can see how it would look.

If your piece was a custom commission, there are no refunds or exchanges. All sales of commissions are final. You are given many chances to make changes during the development of the piece.

If you have questions about this returns policy, please contact me.

COMMERCIAL & EDITORIAL
ILLUSTRATION GALLERIES

Over the course of several decades I've had several opportunities to create fun and artistic solutions for a thriving menagerie of commercial and municipal clients.

In 2024, I was honored to win an APEX Award for Excellence in Design & Illustration for an illustration appearing in Concealed Carry Magazine.

Case Study: Wein & Saengerfest

The New Braunfels, Texas, Parks & Rec Dept. holds a lively annual street festival called Wein & Saengerfest. From 2008-2012, I was honored to produce original artwork for their official event posters. (Click images to expand.)

Case Study: Wurstfest

Driven by the success and popularity of my Wein & Saengerfest poster series, I was hired to create a similar series of original paintings for the Wurstfest festival. Wurstfest began in 1961 as a way for the city of New Braunfels, Texas, to celebrate its German heritage. I created the artwork for the festival's limited-edition souvenir posters from 2013-2017.

Case Study: Lancer/Hoshizaki

While employed as a staff designer for Lancer Corporation, I was tasked with creating goofy, flavor-based characters for their frozen slushie machines. Lancer was later acquired by Hoshizaki, an international manufacturer of ice and beverage machines. (Click images to expand.)

Case Study: Concealed Carry Magazine

For the past several years, I have provided a wide range of illustration styles for the U.S. Concealed Carry Association and their flagship publication, Concealed Carry Magazine (circulation > 850k). Below is a tiny smattering of my cover, editorial and spot illustrations that have appeared in the periodical. (Click images to expand.)

Skill Focus: Event Posters

In addition to my extensive custom poster work for Wein & Saengerfest and Wurstfest, I have created posters for other events ranging from theatrical productions to charity bike rides. (Click images to expand.)

Skill Focus: Spot Illustrations

Sometimes, a project calls for a small, yet lively illustration to fill a gap in the manuscript. I am well-versed in producing spot illustrations in a variety of styles. (Click images to expand.)

Skill Focus: Mascot Design

Over the course of my career I have created dozens of kooky characters. Some who merely exist as pixels and others who spring to fuzzy life in all three dimensions! (Click images to expand.)

Personal Project: "ABCs of the Apocalypse"

I recently completed the artwork for a fun personal project tentatively titled "ABCs of the Apocalypse." When completed, it will be an adult coloring book with a tongue-in-cheek post-apocalyptic theme.

Over the course of several months, I held weekly YouTube livestreams where viewers could watch me draw each letter's coloring page in Adobe Fresco on my iPad Pro. I chose to restrict myself to using Fresco as I was unfamiliar with the software. I usually create digital drawings in Procreate.

The compiled book will be available this fall, but for now each page is available as a high-res PDF download for personal use and enjoyment. (Click images to expand and download.)
