Art & Advocacy Auction 2: Electric Boogaloo

I was invited to return for the 3rd annual Art + Advocacy Auction for Safe & Sound, an organization that aids children who have been in abusive homes.

This year I drew caricatures instead of portraits and didn't take as many photos.

Geek Fallout Comics #44: Joker's Wild!

Jingle bells, Batman smells! Tis the season were we discuss comic's Clown Prince of Crime... The Joker!

Let it Snow!

It's December and time to welcome that seasonal snow!

Actually, this was supposed to be part of a series advent sketches, but I only made a handful before other projects swept in and took over. You'll likely see some of these other cards throughout the month. 

Hey, Sean Connery, what's your favorite Oscar-winning Disney song?

Penciled Packages 2: The Quickening

While I'm glad to have time to commit to long term projects, I'm also getting in the habit of sketching small and speedy.

Once again, I'm embellishing some Christmas packaging. This time around I wanted to make the drawings more dynamic, play to the shape of the box and not be so tied down to the material I was using for reference.

Color is magic!

Llama Llama Red Pajama. That's new to me.

"Miles from Tomorrowland" is also new to me.
What little I've seen looks better than the "Tomorrowland" movie.

Sophia the First, What's on second, I don't know is on third...

Ariel is "Under the C". Get it?

Brand New Me!

Since its nearly the end of the year its time to make some changes around here!

I designed this banner to work for my website, blog, Facebook and pretty much any other social media site I'm on. 

What I really wanted to do was show my work in a way that could be easily read, unlike the previous banner which was made up of thumbnails from my greatest hits. A self portrait featuring me drawing seemed like a much clearer way to show what I do. 

What a handsome fellow!

This is just one of many changes and simplifications I hope to be making towards my personal brand in the future.

Also, I made this zombie variant for Halloween! 

Geek Fallout Comics #43: Legacy Heroes

Geek Fallout: The Comic Book Episodes returns with a cornucopia of guest stars! 

Join Chris Lockhart, Calvin Heighton, Kevin Decent, Michael May and myself as we discuss legacy heroes, the Superman/Shaq crossover we always wanted, and talk one-on-one with "Princess Bride" star Cary Elwes!

Community Center Caricatures

No sooner had I stepped off of the caricature train from Cedar Point, I got right back into it for the Midland Community Center's Holiday Craft Bazaar. 

Cedar Point: Halloweekends!

My last month at Cedar Point yielded a lot of couples looking to get in the Halloween spirit with some cool Halloween themed bodies!

Happy Halloween!

Vampire Count

Another take on a common costume trend featuring the famed vampire count.

Cute Witch

Stepping away from famous faces and into everyday people to picture themselves in some crazy costumes fit for the season.

Vincent Price

Following Rod Serling, I conjured up another face from classic horror, Vincent Price, as seen here in the guise of a mad scientist.

The Twilight Zone

Presented for your consideration Rod Sterling, creator and host of... THE TWILIGHT ZONE, who became the first of my commissions at Cedar Point to show off the kinds of Halloween themes that we can do. 

Cal vs. The Cephalopod

During the recording of my return to Geek Fallout, Calvin commented on my recent work and suggested that he would like to see a drawing of him. Seizing the opportunity, I decided to revisit our previous artistic collaboration.

This project really kicked the doors open. Not only did Cal love this picture and use it for his Facebook profile picture, but my boss at Cedar Point saw it and commissioned me to draw some Halloween-centric caricatures for display at the stands that we'll see soon.

Geek Fallout 142: Mascots R Us!

I make my return to the Geek Fallout podcast! Together with Chris Giada and Calvin Heighton we discuss our favorite food mascots which leads to a series of antics down the line!

Cedar Point Caricatures: August Edition

Some days it feels like the whole world is against you...

You've just got to power on through.

A Few of my Favorite Themes: The Intruder

The Intruder

Here's where you can see the influence of classic suspense thrillers growing up, especially the works of Alfred Hitchcock.

You may also be able to detect my introverted personality in these illustrations of someone who just bursts onto the scene to spoil the tranquility of solitude. 

Sometimes its a foreboding omen of things to come.

Or maybe someone just doesn't understand personal boundaries

But it can also be an unexpected source of seasonal comfort and charity

I even made a whole Pinterest board of this theme for inspiration:

Now I want to hear from you! 

What's your favorite example of "The Intruder" be it in my work or other art?

What other themes would you like to see in this series?
