Portrait Commission




I have had a lot of interest in portraits recently. I feel honored that clients trust me to capture the look and personality of the subject. Many more to come.

Best Friends




I just finished this drawing for a belated birthday gift for one of my good friends. I am always honored to see how much these drawings mean to my friends and clients. It is such a pleasure to give something to someone that they can cherish for years to come.

Zamboni Transformer

Below are the first drafts for an illustration of a Zamboni Transformer. Since a kid I have always been amazed by the Zamboni, and growing up with the toys as well as the televison show I have always been a fan of Transformers. After watching the movie, I came up with this idea. I wanted the Zamboni to resemble a ice hockey goalie and have the parts of the zam appear like goalie equipment.



I still want to add some more detail and parts to this one. I will render and digitally paint it once I am happy with drawing.



This is the first attempt of the concept. With projects like this one I will do multiple drafts adding and subtracting aspects until I reach a drawing that I want to take to completion. I wanted to show a little of my process and how I like to work.

Ducks win the cup!





These are some quick gesture studies I did while watching the hockey playoffs. I missed the finals when I was out of the country, but the Ducks finally took home the cup! Go Ducks!

Back from Italy!






I just got back from the most amazing trip to Italy. I went with a great group of artists and friends. I am still in shock that I was there and saw such amazing art first hand. Many updates to come!
