RaM finale was this seasons horror episode, one of my favorites. Felt like a modern twilight zone episode. This is a rough I did of the skin crawler monster seen in the cold open. I think originally it was a skin thief but ended up settling for a spleen.

RICK AND MORTY - Season 7 Skateboard Art
Ho ho ho, tis' the season 7 skateboard deck made exclusively for the RaM crew thanks to Welcome skateboards. It's a proud day when you see everyone receiving their deck at the holiday party and see their faces light up. The art is a riff on the Rick Prime episode, where Rick finally finds and kills his nemesis to wrap up seven seasons worth of story canon. This was an epic episode that was only accomplished by a village of folks dedicated to their craft, respect. Thank you to Welcome skateboards for doing another killer job once again top to bottom!

RICK AND MORTY - Unmorticken
Rick finally exacts revenge on his nemesis and somehow walks away unfulfilled and lost to what life means moving forward. Whats in store for Rick after this triumphant episode? This was one of the hardest episodes I've ever had the pleasure to Art Direct in keeping all the small details top of mind so the episode at large remained seamless. The crew crushed it as usual with their attention to detail knowing the importance of the episode to the overall series. This is a tentacle creature concept rough I did that breaks through a force field dome in Evil Morty's sci fi paradise, just pure cosmic killing machine.

RICK AND MORTY - Air Force Wong
Mr Stabby just came into this world this way, don't blame him. Following that is Onyx, a couple characters I did some concepts for that made the cut in season 7's third episode 'Air Force Wong'.

RICK AND MORTY - The Jerrick Trap
These are a couple alien mobster concepts from a vast vault of scrapped unused concepts from season 4 that didn't make the cut for the acid vat episode at the time. I'm thrilled they were able to find a home in season 7 - The Jerrick Trap. Great job to the crew, I loved this episode. One of my favorite all time RaM episodes.

KISS GREMLIN
Cool parenting moment unlocked! My boys came up with a funny character before bed, the Kiss Gremlin, he who steals kisses and is as tall as a pencil. I thought oooh I have to make that a sketch prompt for my work pals and did they deliver. The assortment of submissions ran the gamut. Sharing that gift of creativity with them and showing them the power of an idea and how it can be interpreted so differently was a joy for them and myself. Here is mine.

ADIDAS WORLD CUP SPOT - Rick and Morty
Rick and Morty find a new opponent on the field kicking the new Adidas Al Hilm ball like rockets at their heads. We wanted to create a dark horror set on the field, mixed with treating the balls like the egg room in Aliens. This was only for streamer platforms. The first world cup commercial aired on tv back in July promoting the first of two balls revealed for the 2022 World Cup. What an epic and exciting game, congratulations Argentina on their big win!
