Last night I was going through an old sketchbook. I needed to start up a new one so I was ripping out pages of some notes I don’t need any longer and there were a few sketches in there too.

These were a worthy selection to share. Old ones from 2013!

Through a darkened gateway…

⛓️🏰⛓️

As always with my artwork, there is symbolism & meaning. Nothing new here. A gateway could mean a lot of different things. This illustration to me references the beginning of a new era once more happening in my life.

Today means I’m 36!

Let me tell ya there are a lot of hardships, my feet hurt, I definitely feel older than I was last year…
Instead, let’s focus on this edit from when I was sitting near a stream in WY in ‘22 feeling a chill breeze on a midsummer day.
Being surrounded by everyone of you reading this post, new & old friends, the family, my beautiful girlfriend…gives me the same feeling I was when I was sitting next to that stream.

Thanks for being apart of it.

Since I never really share my face on here, I kind of have to share these portraits with my mothers dog, Ozzy

Sketches from Florida Dungeon Fest II

Two nights of live performances held at the end of January once again left me with inspiring motivation, new friends and memories.

Some of these may be more sketchy due to being drawn completely from memory as well as some of these I’ve decided to spend more time with and used photos I took from the event as a reference.

Still more there are yet some I still have not found a way to transcend their performances to a sketch.

I’ve intentionally not tagged anyone as I think it’s more fun to try to recognize such characters. But please feel free to share or tag yourselves!
