My first real step into digital art was when I was approached by Youtuber & Pro BMX rider Anthony Panza from NYC. He wanted to have his own T-shirt available for the launch of his new website. And with the following that this guy has, I knew this design had to be on point!

First I sent a rough sketch (left) which Panza loved! Then I began to work in the details. Everything was drawn by hand before re-drawing into Adobe photoshop and adding the colour.

Since then, we have continued to work on further designs.

In this video (below) Panza reveals the first ever T-shirt. I'm truly grateful for the kind words he said about me and my artwork in this video. It has helped introduce my work to the bmx community in USA and I'm proud to say that I'm helping new clothing brands with design work from overseas. It's almost a dream come true!
