SUPER excited to see Little Demon air tonight and stream on Hulu tomorrow!! Check it out if you can, I had the honor of storyboarding some of the weirdest stuff in my career so far for this show, and the whole team was absolutely amazing to work with. Plus, Danny DeVito plays Satan... do I need to say more?

Congrats to everyone involved creating this beautiful nightmare~

Some figure drawing practice I've been trying to keep up with every week! Thanks to Bento Box for hosting these costumed sessions-- I'm learning a lot and just trying to work more fast and loose, as well as keep up the good habit of live drawing!

Some more cat drawings to celebrate International Cat Day! It could be the toxoplasmosis talking, but I love these little house gremlins. <3

HAPPY INTERNATIONAL CAT DAY EVERYONE... Solidarity to anyone who has a chatty catty screamin all hours of the day 24/7. Our ears are bleeding but it's worth it... :smiling_face_with_tear:

A while back I had the honor of illustrating chapters of a very talented friend and colleague of mine’s podcast series called 20 Sided Stories!

Nostalgic for Fall! (Old Halloween Art Prompts)

I’m currently sitting in 90 degree LA weather and dreaming of pumpkins, warm drinks, cooler weather, and spooky prompts on the horizon... so here, take some old Halloween drawing prompts from last year’s Drawloween challenge! I can’t wait to give it another solid try next year, it’s always a great exercise for storytelling images! Enjoy!

“Ghouls Just want to Have Fun”

“Zombie Juice” 

“Area 52 Pickup”

“Sasquatch Watch”

“Creature of the Black Legume”

Updating the ol’ Art Blog!

Hi there, it’s been a while! A lot has happened since I last posted... I moved to LA.... got married... have been working from home for almost 3 years thanks to a worldwide pandemic, where I’ve worked on a number of little animated cartoons while our country slips into madness... fun times! Hope you’ve all tried to stay happy, healthy and safe over the last few years! Besides this lil’ recap, I’m gonna try to keep this blog positive and art only! So expect a gigantic pile of art while I update this blog with my more current stuff, and try to stay active on here once again! Thanks all, and cheers! Excited to be tumblin’ again!
