Met a hero in real life today. She is a lovely human and a beautiful writer.

Here’s to both: unwillingness to compromise on the authenticity of your craft, as well as the pursuit of social commentary in prose.

Started a new sketch of the lovely @evangelinelillyofficial … I found the source image quite some time ago and have been itching to sketch it. (It’s not finished yet 🤷🏻‍♂️) #evangelinelilly #antmanandthewaspquantumania #antmanandthewasp #quantumania #hopevandyne #avengers #waspworkout #avengersendgame #marvel #artistsoninstagram #kateausten #draw #drawing #freehand #gallery #instaart #squickerwonkers #artnerd #antman #thesquickerwonkers #pencil #inspiration #portrait #pencildrawing #originalart #realism #fanart #photorealism #artistic #jjdart https://www.instagram.com/johndibiase/p/CYvmHuDOzwX/?utm_medium=tumblr

I hear it’s @evangelinelillyofficial ‘s birthday! Here’s a freehand graphite drawing I did of her several years ago which she ended up graciously sharing on her socials. And so when I finished it, I passed it on to a customer who was meeting her at a convention to give to her from me. I eventually got to meet her in person, and here’s also a photo of my son and I with her at a book signing last summer! (Before a pandemic and social distancing killed all of these kinds of events) Happy birthday, Evie!! 🥳 . . . . . @thesquickerwonkers #evangelinelilly #thedemiseofselmathespoiled #wce #antmanandthewasp #lost #hopevandyne #avengers #avengersendgame #marvel #artistsoninstagram #kateausten #draw #drawing #freehand #gallery #instaart #squickerwonkers #happybirthday #antman #thesquickerwonkers #pencil #inspiration #portrait #pencildrawing #originalart #realism #fanart #photorealism #artistic #jjdart https://www.instagram.com/p/CDb0OqxnWJv/?igshid=v16ai8n2adt7

Happy Monday! (Ha!) I hope you’re all hanging in there! Here’s the progression video for my recently completed freehand graphite drawing of @evangelinelillyofficial - this was one of those practice side projects I started late one night to take a break from a seemingly endless stream of work. It was a fun one to draw! . . . . . . . . #evangelinelilly #thedemiseofselmathespoiled #wce #antmanandthewasp #lost #hopevandyne #avengers #avengersendgame #marvel #artistsoninstagram #kateausten #draw #drawing #freehand #gallery #instaart #squickerwonkers #artnerd #antman #thesquickerwonkers #pencil #inspiration #portrait #pencildrawing #originalart #realism #fanart #photorealism #artistic #jjdart https://www.instagram.com/p/CC3wX1Fn6pj/?igshid=qld54iuykkjo

Crazy that yesterday was a full year since my son Will and I trekked to @indigo bookstore in NJ to meet @evangelinelillyofficial (for a second time for me) and listen to her read a portion of her newest @thesquickerwonkers book to us. She also graciously signed one of my freehand graphite drawings of her, which currently hangs in my office. I had brought it along in its frame in my messenger bag, which I learned quickly was a TERRIBLE idea. Just before she came out to read to everyone, I realized my hand felt wet and I looked down to find blood all over my hand. Turns out the frame started coming apart in my bag and the side of the glass sliced my finger (nothing too serious, thank God!) I quickly darted towards the bathroom and rinsed off my hand, grabbed a few napkins and rushed back to the audience. Needless to say, it was an embarrassing moment and one that definitely added to the memorability of the day. 😬😂 (And thanks again for being sweet and kind to my son and I, Evie! 🤗) . . . . #evangelinelilly #thedemiseofselmathespoiled #indigoshorthills #antmanandthewasp #thewasp #wcw #avengers #avengersendgame #marvel #artistsoninstagram #kateausten #draw #drawing #freehand #gallery #instaart #squickerwonkers #artnerd #antman #thesquickerwonkers #pencil #inspiration #portrait #pencildrawing #originalart #realism #fanart #photorealism #artistic #jjdart https://www.instagram.com/p/CA_FuutHM7S/?igshid=fko1i5omwwq7

Friends who are into children's books (so mostly illustration friends I guess?) go check out The Squickerwonkers by Evangeline Lilly(yes, the actress). It's got some really incredible illustrations by Johnny Fraser-Allen and the story is really charming.
