- Jeff's wrestling fandom
- Incorporating wrestling imagery, like Stone Cold Steve Austin, into band gig posters
- Licensed work for WWE and details on his official Heenan Family, Seth Rollins and Chris Jericho posters.
- The the handcuffs that official work will bring sometimes including the Mick Foley poster that never worked out 
- Working on lucha libre with Masked Republic and why lucha merchandise is more fun to create than "wrestling" merchandise.
- Working with Ring of Honor wrestler Dalton Castle
- His desire to raise the perception of lucha libre art to the level of what is seen as "real art" and winning a design competition for his Expo Lucha work. 
- Fictional IP vs. Real Life IP and creating an officially licensed poster for Stephen King's "It"
- How fans don't always understand the restrictions limits places on artists when works are official -- The blessing & the curse of unofficial official posters and the positives of fan art. 
- Creating a steelbook Bluray cover for Zombieland and being given more restrictions than more details to work with.
