Quick freelance commission for Captain Marvel Posters. I don't usually draw superheroes, but this was a SUPER fun assignment!

Have been trying to improve the way I draw faces :)

Kind of a style experiment. Took the elements from my 70's sci-fi book cover homage and remixed them in a more stylized, painterly way.

An homage to 1970's pulp sci-fi book covers.

Done with graphite on a pad of paper from a hotel

3 months of doodling on an 11x17 sheet.

I was travelling two weeks ago, the train moved fast, so the only thing outside the train stable enough to be sketched was the sky.

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.

I've been inspired by my mother's smoking, one of my best friends' obsession over the rose ash color and the magic spirit of October.

A wee sketch of a feather I found, painted with watercolours on Stillman & Birn Zeta paper.

This piece is from my online comic @ doodletowncomic.com and was inspired by Free Comic Book Day in Philly!

To many I know a hibiscus flower might represent endless tropical summers. Up north where I live, hibiscus is the often the last flower to bloom while fall is setting in. While vibrant, I wanted it to feel lonely as seasonal changes are very introspective times in my life.

In July of 2022, Brianna Grier died falling out of a moving police car while having a mental health breakdown. Since Brianna passed, I have been heartbroken for her twins and family but also reflecting on my struggle with mental health. Mental health needs compassion and empathy, not police and punishment. The brunch strokes are purposeful, but I completed them with empathy in mind. I want to keep the composition simple but filled with meaning. The color theme represents vastness and loneliness, but also kinetic energy found in warm orange tones.

Vampire Cat. Green is actually my favorite color, but it’s the only colored marker I have in my house.

Folktale Week Day1: Home. This is a folktale about the ghost of a woman who lived at Heceta Head Lighthouse Her baby died when she fell off the cliff outside their home. Tragic!

Brainstorm. I decided the color of intelligence is green. This can be backed with science and a random internet article or two.

I don't just draw animal portraits! Although it seems tat way at the moment! I did one and it kind of snowballed!!! This one is part of a series of illustrations that tell the story of Hansel & Gretel.
