- Winter Market Highlights -

Pixel & Bristle was a great time, as I knew it would be. Getting together with a group of such talented people is always an awesome, inspiring, and humbling experience. Here I am, next to my collaborative project The C Word (check it out) and the greeting card series' creator, John.

Check out Pixel & Bristle's Instagram account for a little glimpse at yesterdays market (here).

- October Drawing & Season of the Bad Guys Club 2 -

[ originally posted November 12th, 2017 ]

If you followed Craig Gleason's popular drawing challenge, you already know about the mind-blowing number of drawings produced by a diverse group of artists, both established and up and coming. I followed a lot of artists through the month, seeing other people's progress was a great source of motivation, and inspiration. Unfortunately I won't be mentioning every artist, but here are three of my top picks:

The end of October means the end of another Season of the Bad Guys Club. This year was the second month-long drawing challenge put out by the club's founder Craig Gleason (find him on Instagram - @craig.gleason) and it brought out a hoard of returning fans and a wave of new artists looking to join in the debauchery.

This year, rather than keeping everything in a sketchbook, I chose to produce larger, single page originals in the hopes of stepping up details, improving my non-digital rendering, increasing productivity habits, and further supporting the idea that not everything I start ends up in my ever-growing "in-the-works" folder...

Stay tuned for more information on prints and originals for sale.

- Halfway Through, Looking Back -

I participated in the first Season of the Bad Guys Club at a time when my drawing habits were really starting to gain some momentum. A lot has contributed to the steps I've made with drawing the past two years, but drawing challenges like this have provided invaluable opportunities for practice and personal development. For your viewing pleasure, my drawings from last year scanned from my sketchbook:

The past two years have been busy and full of changes. One thing, however, remains unchanged; my inability to commit to and regularly update a single blog platform.

One of the main reasons I use social media is to build platforms which compliment my website by getting a little more personal about my work and creating a timeline that is more regularly updated.

So what does this mean? Well, I'm sure I will continue to flip-flop all over the internet, throwing secondary content in every place I can think of, but for now, I will keep updating Tumblr with more of my drawing, illustration, and photos, and this page will feature more 'news' and writings about current events involving me.

Enjoy!
