hi

This was painted shortly after the peregrine painting. The peregrine was given to a raffle, and the winner of that painting purchased this one when it was finished.

A recent piece that was commissioned from me for a mother's day gift. Loved creating this colorful goldfinch and sunflower

This painting was derived from a collage of my own photos. The location is just south of Wawa Ontario Canada

My first horse study in acrylic medium. I love the tossed main, it looks so anthropomorphic!

This is an original acrylic painting. This is a collage of information meant to maximize the intensity of the calmness of the animal.

Always ready! #currentmood

Continuing my soccer-themed pieces with a heavy slant towards Arsenal (COYG!). Overall happy with how this one came out.

First upload! Quick sketch; trying to get back into this.

This is inspired by Marvel’s Cloak and Dagger! Lemme know what you think!

Sketch

One of my favorite things about being a parent is listening to the stories my daughter makes up and really trying to encourage her imagination. She has named a bunch of the cacti which line our windowsills, while our cacti are very accustomed to their suburban lives they also like a bit of adventure, this is a group of them taking a family vacation to the desert.

Graphite drawing I did a long time ago.

Pen & Ink on vintage paper.

In an attempt to be much more consistent with my drawing practice (and to tackle my insecurities about showing people my drawings) I am hoping that posting some of my sketches online will help keep me accountable. So day 1 sketch, I managed to find a very cheap used college set of Rotring Rapidograph pens online, when they arrived today I was delighted to see that they had NEVER been used! After a bit of a happy dance I got a couple of the pens assembled and started to figure out how they work. This is a quick sketch on tracing paper not that I was tracing anything I just need to invest in better paper with less tooth to be able to use these pens without having ink flow issues.

March 26 is Purple Day for Epilepsy Awareness. This is one of many of my Sandwich Bags I’ve been doing since 2008.

This art is linked to my previous work. The protogonist has entered the other side of the world. A weird place but it seems familiar as this world is nothing but his consciousness and diary is just a portal which let him in here

Done on gray toned paper with grayscale pastels

I had this black cardboard lying around for quite some time so I finally decided to make something out of it. Went for a intense lighting on a horse silhouette because the cardboard is dark and well, because I really like horses. Hope you like it.

i had become so bored of reading the articles in this hate-mongering newspaper that i decided it was a better use of my time to start doodling over the pictures.

Digital drawing

Started as a huge splat, turned into this.

My take on #Japicasso 's #DrawThisInYourStyle challenge of her beautiful roaring 20's girl. Totally inspired and happy to keep practicing my digital art skills.

This drawing is from a Mark Crilley how-to video.
