    For the 2022 midterm elections I spontaneously offered friends on social media to draw the animal of their choice if they voted. It started as a way to keep me from doom scrolling the fate of our democracy but ended up being pretty fun. These are the drawings redone digitally.

    Here’s some artwork for a story that I’ve put on the back-burner.  The comic would be based around a mysterious old prisoner that spends 23 hours a day in solitary confinement for an unknown crime and then for his one hour of exercise a day, he dances nonstop.  All the drawings were done in pencil…

    Ink Drawing on Vellum, 12″x9″ I did this ink drawing a couple of years back to work on my hatching.  I wasn’t very consistent, but the sloppiness adds some character to the overall feel of the piece.  I recently tried re-drawing it with a more uniform hatching look which turned out looking cleaner but a…

    Charcoal on Paper, 8″x10″ I went to St. Petersburg, Russia a couple of years ago on my honeymoon.  We did a lot of tourist stuff (including a marathon tour of the Hermitage) but also had a couple of days to relax and lounge about in our favorite places.   This sketch is of one of the…

    Pastel on Paper, 18″x 24″ Since so much of cartooning is straight line drawing, I was trying to break my habit of doing mostly line drawings of live figure models.  This style, which I made by smearing my finger with pastel and then smudging the paper accordingly, is sort of the antithesis of line art. …
