Army design for @GoodLuckSock. A guy I used to work with spent time at Mount Cheyenne for NORAD things, and my other co-workers would constantly pester him asking if Stargate Command was real and located in the basement there. #art #artprocess #sockart #apparelartist #sockartist

Box Wine socks for @GoodLuckSock. I never had boxed wine before I met my wife; I sort of knew about it's existence as being a joke. But now I've tried it, I gotta say I'm a fan. I not a sommelier, so your mileage may vary if you try it too. #art #sockart #illustration #sockartist #apparelartist

Battleships for @GoodLuckSock. Semi warship related; recently I watched The Philadelphia Experiment. What a cheesy movie. Main character forces girl to drive him around at gunpoint, then she falls in love with him for no reason except maybe Stockholm Syndrome. #art #artprocess #sockartist

Doe & Fawn made for @GoodLuckSock. I heard a fact: the most dangerous animal to people in north america are not bears, wolves, or sharks, but rather deer. Apparently during the rutting season, deer account for more animal attacks than all other animals. #art #artist #sockart #sockartist

Grizzley Bear pattern for @GoodLuckSock. One of my earliest memories of thinking 'hey, maybe I can draw' is from grade 2 when I was doing a science report on bears. My bear drawing actually looked like a bear, which is hard to do when you're 7. #art #artist #sockart #sockartist #illustration

Shit Storm for @GoodLuckSock. You know what's weird about the poop emoji? It's not the usual shape for a poo. But the usual shape never gets depicted (aside from Mr. Hankey). Is a coiler more aesthetically pleasing? Do people have aesthetic preferences for poop? #art #artist #sockart #sockartist

I'm excited I can share some more recent work I made for @GoodLuckSock!

For this one, I used my Velociraptors design success as a springboard. T-Rex is much bigger, I opted for some palm trees for him to peep out of.

Santa Claus T-Rex Design I created for @GoodLuckSock. It was fun figuring out how dinosaurs, with the materials available to them, could reproduce Santa's flight. Fun fact: there is a concept of this where the T-Rex has a beard. #christmas #sockart #sockartist #apparelartist #artist #illustrator

Jurassic Dinosaurs made for @GoodLuckSock. Yes, I was one of those total dinosaur nerd kids. Now I'm a dinosaur nerd adult, as many of you who are familiar with my portfolio are extra aware. #art #artist #sockartist #apparelartist #artprogress

Shark VS Kraken for @GoodLuckSock. Artwork originally created for boxers, and had to be redone for socks. Usually I cheat - have all the elements on separate layers and moving them around - but this one is too complex and had to be redrawn. #art #artwork #sockart #sockartist #apparelartist

Bl**dy Weap*ns design made for @GoodLuckSock. Title starred out because the algorithm is an overprotective nanny. Anyway, while I enjoy watching scary movies, I haven't actually seen all the Freddy/Jason/Myers/ etc slashers. #art #apparelartist #sockartist #artprocess #artist

Night of the Living Dead created for @GoodLuckSock. It's spooky season! My job gives me a lot of freedom in what I draw. I do have a to-do list given to me, but I am also allowed to insert my own ideas such as this one, inspired by the 1968 movie NOTLD. #art #artprocess #sockart #sockartist

Bats pattern made for @GoodLuckSock. Sometimes I mind map for my designs; visually my mind often already has preconceived ideas, but a mind map can sometimes force my mind to more far reaching and creative solutions. #art #artprocess #sockartist #sockart #artist

Storks & Babies pattern made for @GoodLuckSock. I'm not sure where the idea of storks delivering babies came from, but it is a fun visual. If you let your mind wander, you wonder if babies enjoy flight? How does a stork manage delivering triplets? #art #sockart #sockartist #artist #apparelartist

King Kong design made for @GoodLuckSock. My work has more premium line of socks that allows me use way more detail. Also while drawing this one, I was watching a lot of Dragonball, and decided to add a touch of Akira Toriyama to the style. IYKYK. #art #sockart #sockartist #artist #progresspics

Karate pattern for @GoodLuckSock. My direction was to make it karate. I didn't want to do people; skin tones for an inclusive pattern would use too many colours. But people love cats! Plus cats are agile and competent little scrappers. #art #artist #sockartist #wip #appareldesign

My brief for this project was Bigfoot & Alien camping. Designed originally for undies, later on the decision was to put it on a sock. Socks are long and vertical, and the elements couldn't move around enough to be reused, so I had to redraw. #art #artist #sockartist #illustration #bigfoot #aliens

Sock design for @GoodLuckSock. Had to get real nerdy with this one here. Not like arguing Kirk vs Picard nerdy (Picard). But rocket science, chemistry, engineer, bow tie wearing, super thick glasses nerdy. #art #artist #sockartist #socksdesign #appareldesign

Process pics for koala sock pattern I made for @GoodLuckSock. By drawing things, sometimes you learn new things about them. Like, I never knew koalas functionally have 2 thumbs per hand. Seems pretty handy. That's a koality hand right there. Ok ok, aussie my way out.

Medieval Knights design I made for my day job @GoodLuckSock. My preference for drawing is to draw lots of detail, but that makes for terrible embroidery. I have to boil down the details to the most essential, throwing the rest away. I think it turned out good this time. #sockartist #sockart #artwork
