Summer’s 2nd Birthday
The main reason I haven’t been posting things as often is that I’m now a stay-at-home dad taking care of a rambunctious little girl. I decided that when one of my daughter’s playmates has a birthday, I would do a quick illustration of something they were really in to at that point in life. My…

The New Black
Here’s an ultimately unused illustration I did for a friend’s band, The New Black. The instructions were to draw the band members as kids in a cartoony style for a gig poster and masthead for their YouTube page.

Storm Gets Rained On
This was originally going to be my donation to this year’s Woman of Wonder benefit auction, but I didn’t finish it in time. In fact, I’m not entirely sure it’s finished yet. I’ve already re-drawn it a couple of times, but the pose just feels stiff. At this point, I’m ready to move on to…

Matt and Krystal’s Wedding Invitation
I was honored that my life-long friend Matt asked me to draw the invitation for his wedding with his wife-to-be Krystal. They wanted something laid-back and somewhat cartoony depicting their entire family including their son Will and two dogs (the cats did not make the cut!) I ended up doing this in water color all fancy-like so…

Fantasy Football Logo
I created a new name and logo for my Fantasy Football team. I’m not that great when it comes to following the NFL, so I expected to be beaten often. Thus, I named myself The Redheaded Step-kin.

Jerusalem: The Processes Behind Making A 380 Page Graphic Novel
It’s been over a year since we finished work on the graphic novel Jerusalem! The book was recently released, and I was reminded that I have yet to document all the work that went into the creation of the epic 380 page story. Since this book was more than three times the length of a…

Happy Holidays
Here’s a piece I did for a “Dirty Santa” gift exchange for a friend’s holiday party last weekend. I just may turn it into a Christmas card! 12″ x 9″ Ink and Oil Pastel on Vellum

Filmed with a Flip Mino HD and Casio Exilim in Turks and Caicos, November 2012. Time-lapse images were captured with a Canon G10. Music is “Get Free” by Major Lazer.

Warm-up Sketch: An Imagined Friendship #4
Dwyane Wade and Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson. Yes, I thought of this solely because they both are named Dwayne — only to discover Mr. Wade spells his name differently. If this pose seems familiar, you must have been alive in the early 90s.

Warm-up Sketch: An Imagined Friendship #3
Today’s warm-up sketch subjects, Rachel Weisz and Kate Winslet, might well already be friends for all I know. One thing that is certain, I get the confused with each other. I was tempted to draw Kate Beckinsale off standing in the corner but that would just be cruel.

Warm-up Sketch: An Imagined Friendship #2
Another pair that I imagine would make a good tag team on screen and off (but probably not in the ring): Andre the Giant and Jason Segel
