Keep Putting Pencil To Paper.

Why would I finish one of the many things I’ve been working on for weeks when I can draw @taylorswift again from the #youneedtocalmdown video!? In love with this song, video, outfit and color scheme. This was more of a prelim for what will be a more involved piece one day. #keepputtingpenciltopaper #taylorswift #taylornation #ts7 #lover #yntcd #yntcdmusicvideo #taylorswiftlover #tslover #snakesandstonesneverbrokemybones #weallgotcrowns #procreate https://www.instagram.com/p/BzCAO-gBgm9/?igshid=smtumsngsg65

It’s all just #shapes and #values. Worked on this a while ago but couldn’t get a decent pic due to the weather. Got a ton of inspiration from HeroesCon this weekend. It’s beyond time to get shit done. #keepputtingpenciltopaper . . . #art #artist #drawing #pencilart #valuestudy #illustration https://www.instagram.com/p/By1O6U4hQw4/?igshid=2cyi5oqx6v02

I wish I could say I have a personal story about Stan Lee. Or could say I met him. I only started reading Marvel comics around 2012. I was a DC guy (more specifically a Batman guy)That said, the impact he had on my life is immeasurable. To paraphrase my friend @lordjermaineretail; imagine the people you wouldn’t have met or developed friendships with, without comics and the entertainment that spun out of those stories. And not just Stan Lee created characters or books but his impact across the entire entertainment industry. I’m sad that he’s gone but I’m so thankful for what he gave the world. Here’s a little tribute sketch of him split with Thor. #excelsior #keepputtingpenciltopaper https://www.instagram.com/p/BqJIYymBdZN/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=g9zl88e94w9

Happy #Halloween everyone! Here’s a little 🎃 #pumpkin patch #sketch I did during lunch. I have time to draw during lunch now so I’m open to ideas if anyone has anything. My lunch sketchbook is tiny so nothing too elaborate... 😁#keepputtingpenciltopaper https://www.instagram.com/p/BpmBN5DgMCk/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=hxx514fqhwfs

So in the last 60 days my life has completely changed. After 22 and a half years, I left my job. It was just time for something new. Something completely different with far less stress. I just finished my first full time week at my new job and I love it. In the transition, I’ve been trying new techniques and very slowly working through my commission list. My apologies to anyone waiting on a piece from me. Things should start moving much faster now. One of my commission projects is individual portraits of the Addam’s family. Here’s #UncleFester from the set. Now that things are settling down, I’m planning on trying to post far more regularly. Thank you for sticking with me. Here’s to the future!! #keepputtingpenciltopaper . . . #addamsfamily #copicmarkers #markerart #art #artwork #inktober https://www.instagram.com/p/BpftIx1hqyx/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1wy0xqvtylwrb
