Here is the cover to my brand new very first sketchbook! We did these as one of the rewards offered during last year’s Die Kitty Die Kickstarter event. I’d kicked around the idea of putting together one of these for a while but I never had the time or the means. The Kickstarter was

I posted the inked version of this one on Facebook and it proved pretty popular. This was another blank sketch cover commission done during my rained in sabbatical. This one is another Archie #1 blank sketch cover commission done as another Die Kitty Die Kickstarter reward. This one was also commissioned by the very
It’s been a while but I’m back from vacation now and loaded with lots of artwork I did while I was away. This past week has been my annual sabbatical away from the art table, but I can never leave the drawing pad completely behind and it was a good thing too because the
