Every year my uncle asks for hand-made gifts about his "awesomeness". I whipped up a quick homage to our family tradition of playing super complicated games that inevitably end up in rule debates and many beers/wine. :)

A heavy WIP of my illustration based on the Broadway musical "HEATHERS" song, "Meant To Be Yours." When it comes to digital art, everything I've done has all been self taught. I began this piece when I first began on my I-pad and am still at it till I can make this piece what I envision it to be. I learned a lot of shadowing and effects on this piece, and I can't wait to complete it! What do you think thus far?

pen, gouach and water color on paper This has been one of the most spectacular falls I can ever remember in Paris, the golden leaves blowing gently in crisp clear blue skies really inspired me.

I've been getting questions about how I create my art here, so I figured I would upload some progress pieces. Here's the first one! I was listening to the Westworld season 2 soundtrack which always makes me want to draw Harvey (for some reason). I wasn't really practicing anything in particular, just doodling. It was fun to just let my hand wander, though I think the sketch was much better than the inking I did.

Controlling the mind has never been easy. It wanders away and getting it back on track to focus on our work is near to impossible.

Not a terribly good piece, but I had fun drawing it. It is a take on the Spirit of '76, originally painted by Archibald Willard. I did it upon request, but I did not charge anything. I think it would have been better in color.

I've been working on boring portrait studies in hopes to make my work better and hopefully at one point hire-able.

This illustration has been inspired on a placebo song. Meds.

Here are 5 #Inktober paintings. I've been painting every single night and loving it. I think that my high school art teacher might have been right when he said doing a daily painting was key to his being an artist.

Save the bees

It’s been a long since the last time I used only ink for drawing

Artists rarely have the opportunity to display their work. Modern people want to enjoy art, but they don't have time. What if there is an exhibition hall where anyone can exhibit their work and it is possible to view it anytime and anywhere? Artistrone is a google card board VR showroom where anyone can upload and share their work in their own virtual showroom. I made the inside of the showroom into a simply VR video.

Lopsided Girl is a new character I have been playing with. This piece is done with Gouache.

Drawing is my best friend ever. He helped me so much and still today he helps me to stay calm. He has always been there for me, good and bad. Drawing for life and never, I'll stop drawing rather die.

A large drawing ive been doodling on for around a month here and there whatcha people think?

I've been fascinated by ravens for a few years now and doodle and paint them constantly. Here's the latest version ...

Nero extra soft oil based pencil is a great doodling and sketching tool that I have been using for a couple of years. Not smudgy and delivers good lines.

I´ve been meaning to draw a graphic novel for some time. I just can´t decide on the style. :) Or is it just procrastination?

A project I’ve been working on for my brother.

I have been reading Seth Godin books lately and he believes we shouldn't wait around hoping to be picked. We need to pick ourselves.

A quick sketch of a man holding a cup of coffee. This was drawn from a reference photo. Lately I've been practicing portraits. Trying to limit myself to 20 mins or so and just draw the basic form as best I can. Otherwise I'll fiddle with the details and spend hours trying to adjust things. Sketching in ink helps also since I can't erase. Need to get more comfortable sketching faster, but I like the way this turned out.

Ive been trying to draw human faces as its something i dont do as much normally. Its something ive really been enjoying though, its fun adding silly details and different ideas that can form from it.

Time to retire it, it has been a good one.

Thinking of making this into a wall paper, have been drawing lots of trees as so many near me have been getting cut down lately.
