I tribute to the music that shaped my childhood imagination. As an artist I feel like I can always hear the music playing as I draw these things. It took me two years to figure this piece out but hopefully I was able to convey that feeling to you 😊.
Debuting at SDCC.

Something as simple as a hat, cap, or helmet can make a character iconic. Take for instance Indy, Forest, Ash, and our little Lamby here 😂. Their worlds, moments, and characters are brought to life when I see these memorable hats.
🚨So welcome to the “Cap-tivating Crew,” my newest series dedicated to some of the best cap wearing characters throughout the multiverse of pop culture.

Another addition to my CAPtivating Crew series. Such great performances, awesome wardrobes, stunning cinematography and great storytelling with an outstanding musical score. That’s a lot of adjectives to say, wow what a film.
I tried to capture the awesomeness I saw on screen in this piece. Hope you guys enjoy and as always have fun finding all the details. Also, see some of you today at #eccc.

Videos aren’t my thing. But I’ll try and do more cause I love drawing and love sharing the process with all of you. For my, recording, getting shots, etc. I feel that it takes away from the flow and rhythm you have once you are in the groove of a drawing. Kudos to the creatives that do this on the regular. It’s tough but like I said, I’ll try my best cause it’s part of being an artist.
Enjoy!

📖 ONCE UPON A PENNANT. I have to give the wifey credit for this one. She’s a big book nerd and said I needed to make something for all the bibliophiles out there. Since I love making pennants, why not make them into bookmarks? So here you go! Same material and thickness as my large pennant plus they are double sided so you basically 2 bookmarks for 1 🙌
I also made them a bit larger at 2.5”x9.5” perfect for any size book. I’ll have 3 designs debuting at the Festival Of Books this weekend. Stay tuned, I’ll be revealing them all this week. Hope you dig these and hope they make reading even more enjoyable.
