GAME OF THRONES SPOILERS!!! This piece features everyone still alive at the end of season 7 of Game of Thrones – I fit in 30 little portraits of named characters. There are a few minor characters that I wasn’t able to fit – the biggest omission being Hot Pie – but 30 characters was the best fit. Other than the first row being the main characters, there isn’t too much of a rhyme or reason to how I ordered the […]

I’ll admit it – I have never watched any of the old monster movies, including Dracula with Bela Lugosi – but I do know who Bela Lugosi is. When I was younger, I had a serious case of Tim Burton fever – it affected my day-to-day life greatly. Symptoms included me watching every Tim Burton movie way too many times, including the very awesome film Ed Wood, about a failed director in the 50’s. Ed Wood is responsible for what […]

MST3K is one of my all-time favorite shows. Nothing has produced quite the amount of obnoxious laughter from me as this show. I feel like a bad fan because I haven’t finished the Netflix revival yet, but I can tell you my favorites of the classics, in no particular order: The Final Sacrifice Time Chasers Merlin’s Shop of Mystical Wonders The Screaming Skull “Manos” The Hands of Fate Mitchell Teenage Strangler The Pumaman If you need a laugh, I absolutely […]

Playing around with different styles is so much fun – as long as you accept the fact that you’ll mess things up a bunch of times before you get it right. Honestly, in this case I didn’t really even “get it right.” But I got close! I’ve been a huge Simpsons fan for a very long time – I first started trying to mimic the Simpsons style in middle school, and every few years I find new characters or people […]

This is an old one, but it’s always held a special place in my heart just because it’s… weird. It’s just drawn very differently than what I usually draw. I made this for a magazine design class in college – we had an assignment to create a magazine cover for a fake magazine, so I invented the magazine “Philaddict” about the city of Philadelphia, and teased to the main feature – an imaginary interview with the cast of It’s Always […]

This guy is pretty good at music. Mumford & Sons may not be for everyone, and that’s ok. Mumford & Sons is for me, though. I first started listening to them back in 2009-2010ish, when I was in college. And for a good while, everything I drew was Mumford & Sons-related. I actually joined tumblr exclusively as a way to share my Mumford & Sons fan art. Was it weird of me? Yes. Yes, it was. But I loved their […]

Sir Patrick here is my latest piece of art! I’m preparing for this thing called Blobfest happening in my town on July 15. It’s a festival celebrating sci-fi and horror, named after the old horror movie The Blob which was filmed in town and features a giant red blob oozing out of a movie theater. So yeah, it’s pretty impressive. I got a booth to sell my art (!!), so I’ve been drawing all the sci-fi, fantasy, etc. stuff I […]

This here is probably the oldest drawing you will see on my website – circa 2009. This drawing was all about texture – I hadn’t used colored pencils much before trying this, and I wanted to see what I could do with them. It was a lot of fun – and it’s what made me obsessed with colored pencils. I use them constantly now, to the point where I know I need to start branching out and trying other things. […]
