original

Working on a tattoo for myself that's based on the Disney Magic Kingdom's Haunted Mansion. The Tightrope Girl is part of the expanding elevator in the beginning of the ride. I changed the shape of the original painting to a coffin; simplified everything down; and added some flourishing. I'm not great at flourishing yet.

I've started a new sketch book (one of many, lol), which I am dedicating to ink drawings only. No pencils, no watercolours, just pen and ink :) I drew this doodle today with a Uniball pen and a light ink wash for the space sky. No reference, totally made up. Mistakes and all! Available as stickers and other goodies on Red Bubble. Sketchbook is Stillman and Birn Alpha - I love, love, love the whiteness of its pages!

This image was drawn as part of a pattern piece for fabric in the Liberty style. Originally drawn in pen and ink.

Here is my submission to the 10th anniversary Plushform show at Rotofugi Gallery. I was invited by Shawn @shawnimals to participate in this fun show. He is the creator of the Plushform DIY plush figure being customized by 40 artists at Rotofugi, a designer toy store gallery in Chicago. The original Plushform show was in 2008. I was waiting for their official announcement before posting my final so I could link people to the site for more info. I was told they are working on it and will announce soon. This will be for sale at the show.

I can resist everything except for temptation - I mean, TACOS. Original quote by Oscar Wilde.

Mick Jagger ballpoint pen drawing on some old postcards, the original vinyl record below it was framed with my drawing.

Tabby Cat....commission for vets. He looks very proud of himself this young man! I am lucky enough to get to draw all these wonderful animals for a vet. He provides the families with an A5 portrait print of their pet as part of his VIP club. This means I have all the original A4 drawings which i am happy to sell.

I love drawing plants, flowers, and twintailed girl.

Original graphite drawing. 6x4 on bristol vellum.

(2B pencil on a 87mm x 139mm postcard) X-ray specs were an iconic mail order item in comics. It was one of the first things that kids bought that introduced them to the world of dubious adverts. I kept the image here simple, like the original advert.

One of my original pen and ink drawings. Drawn on nice cotton paper with a laid finish.. The piece measures 5" Wide X 8" Tall Signed and Titled.

Read an article that Gill's Ice Cream is closing, here's an old sketch in front of it at The Original Farmers Market. Los Angeles has a weird habit of destroying the real thing to put in a facsimile of the same thing, but without the tradition, charm or h

I intended to do quick little spot illustrations for Inktober this year, but nooooooo! Now Jimmy is drowning in digital ink and lots of doodle details. This was way too much fun to go simple. I also included the original sketch this time.

Here is the finished book. I wrote some of my own poetry on the pages and also some excerpts from the original book.

One of my original pen and ink drawings. Drawn on an antique piece of paper. The piece measures 3″ Wide X 6″ Tall Signed and Titled. Comes packaged with care and a tracking number.

Illustration from the song of Tuomari Nurmio a.k.a Judge Bone. Nurmio has been regarded one of the most original Finnish singer-songwriters

Went to see Billy Strings Band live in Philly. Music inspires me so much. Although you might not like bluegrass, it's worth checking these guys out. Great jamming, musicians and show. Anyway even if you hate bluegrass, I hope you like the art that came out of it. I also included the original sketch/doodle. Enjoy. BTW: the song is "While I'm Waiting Here".

This one really did not scan well. Seems like scanners and cameras have a really hard time with saturated reds.

From the soundtrack of my youth. RIP. 10” x 15” Original ink and watercolor illustration on Strathmore 500 Series 4-ply Bristol illustration paper. Signed by the artist. Unframed.

Gouache on Arches watercolor paper. I have been living overseas for 6 years now with my wife. (Originally from the states) We have lived in Seoul, South Korea, Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, Tel Aviv, Israel, and in the Summer we will move once again to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. So this is a painting is a sort of self-portrait.

Still not finished after almost two years. Originally for a card game idea I had. I still hope I'll get around making that game some day.

I watercolored Mathilda's Ms Trunchbull as well as Bride of Frankenstein. I originally painted Lady Frankenstein in green, but it turns out she's a human-skinned person, so I had to change that in Photoshop.

One of my original pen and ink drawings. Drawn on nice cotton paper with a laid finish.. The piece measures 4" Wide X 6 1/2" Tall Signed and Titled. Comes packaged with care and a tracking number.
