He has also done logo design as well as freelance illustration for various advertising agencies. Beavers worked as a storyboard artist for Warner Bros. Justice League Unlimited animated show on Cartoon Network. He illustrated the series N.E.R.D.S. by Michael Buckley and created comic art for George Lucas works such as Star Wars: Clone Wars Adventures and Indiana Jones.

Mutation In 2004, Beavers began working with writer George T. Singley on Mutation for Speakeasy Comics. Due to major complications with the now defunct Speakeasy Comics, neither writer nor artist received compensation for their work and the book was published months behind schedule. Several completed issues of the series were not published.

Mutation was picked up by Markosia and published (with the missing issues) in trade paperback format. Comics Bulletin commented on Beavers' work, stating:

N.E.R.D.S. In January 2009, author Michael Buckley walked into a Brooklyn New York comic shop to hand pick an illustrator for his new book series N.E.R.D.S. Buckley and creative director Chad Beckerman selected 10 candidates to submit to their editor as potential artists for the project. Out of that process, Beavers was selected as the illustrator for the N.E.R.D.S. book series. Four projects have been completed to date, N.E.R.D.S. (2009), M is for Mama's Boy (2010), The Cheerleaders of Doom (2011), and The Villain Virus (2012). Since the first installment, the N.E.R.D.S. series has gone on to become a New York Times best seller. Movie rights for the series were purchased by Elton John. Commenting about Beavers' illustrations in the N.E.R.D.S. series, Beckerman stated:

Influences Beavers' artistic influences include Jack Kirby, Darwyn Cooke, and Bruce Timm.
