Titan Niagara

A Comicon Erie T-Shirt Concept

I was bummed my Titan Niagara design wasn't selected for the 2024 Comicon Erie T-Shirt contest, but I loved it so much, I decided to make it a reality anyway.

Inspired by the awesome Brig Niagara, I wanted to create a cool, anime-style mech that represented Erie's maritime heritage. Titan Niagara is the result – a towering, robotic version of the ship, standing tall over Presque Isle Bay.

As a transplant who's called Erie home for over 30 years, I've always looked up to the Brig Niagara. It's a symbol of Erie's history and spirit. I hope Titan Niagara can become a new symbol for the city, a fun and imaginative way to celebrate our maritime heritage.

Total Eclypse: North American Tour Design

Gear Up for the Eclipse with Our Rock-Inspired, Personalized Apparel

There's something undeniably magical about an eclipse. It's one of those rare moments that make you stop and gaze in awe at the sky. That's exactly the feeling I wanted to capture in our Total Eclypse collection. It's not just about astronomy; it's about those moments that make us all look up in wonder.

I'm really excited about this collection, and I think you will be too. It's got t-shirts, hoodies, and tanks, each with a design that's a nod to this incredible event. And the cool part? You can personalize them! Add your city, mark a special date – make it a keepsake of where you were when the sky put on its show.

Available for Curbside Pick Up

Get This Fun Design to Help Curb Those Quarantine Cravings

I made this design to resemble chalk writing on a blackboard. The kind of thing you see outside a restaurant or cafe that might offer curb side pick up.

There is some intentional innuendo that perhaps YOU might be available for curbside pickup. Get his design on a variety of clothing, masks, and other items. They make great gifts for that thirsty friend who is always on the prowl.
