Sometimes you feel like you’re throwing spaghetti at the wall to see if it sticks. Other times you have a thought out idea that absolutely needs to come into being. Its a guessing game at times, but it takes both ends to really make something which can stir the senses and the mind along with it. So to all who want to or need to flex those creative muscles, never
The month has come and gone and with that, I have sketched quite a lot. It feels good to get back in the saddle again and put my time and energy into something I’m passionate about, art. Some of my favorite pieces from the month are posted here. Some of these will make their way to a final version, others will stay in sketch form. I do want to take
Did a quick and rough digital sketch while sitting down for coffee this afternoon. Even if its a little messy, its good to see what you can do with a limited amount of time. Time: 1 hourTools: Autodesk Sketchbook on Galaxy Note9
This is the first full digital painting I’ve done in some time. It really inspired me to push my knowledge of how to execute a painting inside of Photoshop in addition to more traditional painting techniques. I’m still not sure how the idea came about, probably some mashup of thoughts fusing different shapes together. In the end, I’m very glad it did. All that is left to do is to

It always feels like I have a lot of sketches and unfinished artwork on my desktop. There are so many things I want to put out there, many of which are in the process of being redrafted, colored, rendered or rough doodles. So I always feel a bit shaky posting things that aren’t “done”. As viewers, I feel like you all are robbed from much of my work. I’m drawing
Working with standup comedian and podcaster Ron Placone, we bring a loud and rebellious voice to his feline companion, Lucy, in the web comic, “Lucy & Ron”. Lending his talents as a writer and humorist, Ron crafted the scripts for every panel and page. With my skills as an illustrator, we brought the revolutionary animal to the masses. Running from 2019 to 2020, the series in full can be found
I’ve been mulling over the idea of doing a regular post of random stuff from my digital “sketchbook” to show everyone what I’m working on or tossing around the studio. Here’s some of my favorites from the last month.
These two guys, comedians Graham Elwood and Ron Placone, I’ve been following for a few years now, discovering them when I was on the prowl for some new voices to laugh with. I made these because I wanted to show my appreciation in my own way for all the laughs they’ve brought me over the years.
