Bored Teenager, the clothing brand founded by Blake Anderson of the show "Workaholics", held a drawing contest for the best reptoid art. I won and they sent me a package of shirts, socks and stickers that I'm still rockin' to this day.

In 2016 I was the featured artist on an episode of The Attic in Buffalo , a locally produced Youtube show that showcased artists in the Buffalo area. Click the image below to watch that episode!

Our local radio station had a drawing contest for the best Grateful Dead themed envelope. I won tickets to the show, a signed book of concert photography and an interview the next morning on the radio about my experience.

Tweedle Farms held a drawing contest to create an Earth Day themed sticker design using their logo. I won and they printed my design to go with each order for that month and also sent me a care package of CBD products & a box of stickers!

In 2022 I entered MJBizCon's first t-shirt design contest to be the official shirt for the event. I ended up coming in 3rd place and was featured in the cannabis artists' collection at the merch booth! I was also able to join the Niagara Label sales team on the expo floor as well as checking out the sights and sounds of Vegas! 

I went solo to a Gene Ween show in Rochester and hung around after the show to make catch a glimpse of the man himself. I never met him that night but I did meet his guitarist Elijah who was kind enough to take my lighter in the back and have Gener sign it for me, who said it was "pretty damn cool lookin". Hell yes. That's like winning a contest to me!

In 2016 a bunch of Ween loving creatives came together and started what would become a series of zines devoted to the band Ween. I have been honored to contribute artwork for the zine and stickers to go with each issue. Each edition has become larger and jam packed with more Ween art, stories and everything in between.

We decided to watch the movie "Big Time Adolescence" starring Pete Davidson on Hulu when my girlfriend Gara started yelling and pointing at the screen.. and sure enough one of my prints is on the wall in one of the scenes for a good 15 seconds! Wild. Totally mind-blown. Still feels cool.

In 2021 & 2022 I entered Natural Cannabis Co.'s HIGH ART contest and I placed in the Top 150 both times! They printed my art in their annual coffee table book and those pieces are now for sale on their website on various products.
