Why my job is great...

First of all I'm sorry for the lack of posts here. I hit an artistic rut for a while. In an effort to get out of said rut, I started working on my comic strip. I started a new blog for it called Code 11. Check it out! I do have new stuff to post here, but I haven't scanned it in yet, due to laziness. (big surprise, i know)

I DO have a special treat. A friend of mine happened upon this little gem. Click here. If you scroll down a bit, you'll see a little story with pictures about me at work. I don't know if something is wrong with me, but this makes me so happy. When I first saw it, it made me laugh so hard, so I just had to share it. Notice my super awesome shirt too. Actual art to come soon.

Random sketches

I don't really have any reason for these. They all look very different from each other, so I suppose thats interesting.


This is a sketch done just like others in previous posts, where I draw someone i see and the scan the sketch and then Photoshop it using the lasso and paint bucket tools. I don't really do many of those anymore.


I've been toying with the idea of doing a little comic strip about me at work, just for the fun of it. I did this today to try and see what it would look like on a blog. I've never been good at writing, so I've had a really hard time writing my work experiences that would be readable normal (non-artist) people. Part of why I want to do it is the good practice. Flexing some unused art muscles, such as visual storytelling, drawing emotion, cartooning emotion, inking, and minimalism. And writing I suppose.


This is a Woody Harrelson sketch done in pencil, and then Photoshopped a bit for fun. I think he's a really scary looking guy.

The Hoff

I'm not exactly done with it, but I've kind of hit a wall. I might set it aside and look at it with fresh eye's later on. The coloring is very much inspired by Cheeks.

Update: I changed the colors a little and tweaked some other stuff. i guess i'm done.

Sorry for the long absence!

Wow I know its been a loong time. Its no excuse, but for a while I had been distracting myself away from drawing with a few home improvement projects that I had been putting off. I tiled my kitchen, which i'm pretty proud of, thankyouverymuch! I've never really tiled before, so it was kinda rough starting, but I think it came out pretty good. Stuff like that is more in my father's realm, but I try to learn what I can from him. Every once in a while its really satisfying to just work with my hands and build something or fix something.

Then working spring break at a theme park is kind of artistically draining, so after those long hours, the last thing I want to do is draw. Also lately I've had some personal family issues come up. But I promise that I'm back and I'm starting to draw again, and it feels good. Unfortunately I don't have much to show except some pretty rough sketches. Tho all my sketches are pretty rough I guess. Some of it is working out ideas for a more finished project I've been doing just for fun that I'm almost done with. I'll post that up soon for you to see. Thanks for being patient with me (if anyone still checks this thing, that is).




Knight Rider was THE show to watch as a kid, in my opinion. Look for more of this soon!


This is supposed to be Sarah Michelle Gellar, but I think the likeness is pretty bad.


I was doing some reference searching and came across a photo of this guy and I couldn't not draw it. I also couldn't not laugh.

More one-a-days

Some more life sketches inspired by the blog of the great Dan Hay. Sketched, scanned, then done in photoshop.

Figure Drawing

I haven't posted anything up in a while. To my shame, I haven't really drawn anything worthwhile in a long time. Bad habits and all. But recently I went to a figure drawing session that my friend and boss, Dino Casterline put together. These are some of the results. These are done on cheap old 8 x 10 printer paper with a semi-dry Dixon Markette and a ballpoint pen. Enjoy and check back soon because there are a few more fun things in the works that will be posted soon.

More fun

Here are some more one-a-days I've been saving up.

Some chick I saw in the park today.

One-a-days

I've enjoyed the blog of Dan Hay so much that I decided I wanted to do the same thing he does. He finds one person every day that looks interesting, and keeps a mental image of that person, and later on tries to make an interesting design out of it. He pointed out to me that its a good way of exercising the brain by always thinking about drawing. I could use a bit of that. I dont know if I'll post a new one every day like Dan, but I would like to try and draw one every day.

These are done with a ball point pen and Prismacolor markers with a little bit of art stix in there for good measure.

Something new

I did these today. Just trying something new. Micheal Jackson was done for Diluc's website. It was a scan of some line work and colored in photoshop. The second one was done from a photo my friend Dan took while on vacation. It was done in photoshop using only the lasso and paint bucket tools. Both are kind of a departure, just trying some new things I guess. Enjoy!
