Bongzilla, “Dab City”

Services Rendered: Character Development, Graphic Design, Illustration and Layout


I had the rad opportunity to work with Bongzilla, the legendary stoner metal band from Wisconsin that’s been delivering heavy, fuzzed-out riffs since 1995. Collaborating with the band, I helped design and illustrate the album art for their release, Dab City, capturing the raw energy and vibe that fans have loved for decades.
