James and Alice

Someday I'd love to do a series of drawings featuring some of my favorite literary characters. James Henry Trotter, Alice, Oliver Twist, Ponyboy Curtis, Ender Wiggins, the list goes on and on. But for now, I just doodle them for fun.

Inspiration

Just a handful of the artists that inspire me to be better. Enjoy!

Patch Together :: Store :: Little Red

The design is loosely based on this painting I did back in '08 during school. Not my best work, but I'm still pleased with how the wolf turned out.

The Eyes

There are times when I just can't resist drawing huge eyes.



Quick paint, just for fun.

Qilin

Qilin are gentle mythical creatures who bring prosperity and serenity. They originated from China and are often compared to the unicorn. They also happen to be one of my absolute favorite mythical creatures. They have the head of a dragon, horns of a deer, mane and tail of a lion, legs of an ox, and a body covered in fish scales. Really now, how can you beat that? Love these big guys. Wish I had one.

Hope you all have a very Merry Christmas!

Sketch Dump

Hey You Guys!

Recently I had the privilege of contributing a piece to the Hey You Guys! charity art auction, which raises money to keep the arts in schools. The theme is 80s movies. To find out more about the auction and movie screening head over to their website: Hey You Guys!

It was difficult to choose a subject seeing there are so many wonderful and unique characters from which to choose. After much thought and many failed sketches, I finally settled on the Childlike Empress from The NeverEnding Story



I've wanted to paint the Childlike Empress ever since I first read the book a few years ago, so it was fun being able to paint her for such a great cause.

Here's my piece in the auction
