It’s obvious Ana de Armas quickly became a muse of sorts – she’s just such a delight to draw! I really liked the mirror aspect of this one – I find mirror images kind of fun to work on. I […]
Here’s another comic book sketch cover – this time of Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine on an X-Men cover. 🙂 This one sold too, but you can find prints here: https://johndibiaseart.com/drawing-print-of-x-men-comic-book-sketch-cover-feat-hugh-jackman-as-logan-the-wo
I had never really done comic book sketch covers before, but when I found some discounted blank covers at the local comic book store, I decided to give a few a try. Here’s my attempt at Captain America from “The […]
In an attempt to expand the subjects of my drawings, I thought it’d be good to change it up a bit and add Maggie Q to the mix (She was especially great in Mission: Impossible III, but I know I’ve seen […]
I’m honored to make a second appearance on the Switchfoot Song Stories podcast recently! On it, we discuss Switchfoot’s new album “Forever Now,” track by track and give our thoughts and reviews on the entire project. At the end, we […]
I went to a small convention a couple years ago that had Katie Leigh, the voice of Honker in Darkwing Duck, and drew this just for her to autograph. I was thrilled when I got a chance to meet the […]
OK – crazy story time. My in-laws take my son out to dinner almost once a week, and three years ago they were in a local diner and my son was telling his grandparents his desire to go into acting. […]

My FAVORITE kind of commissions are when they align with my interests. Ha. This was an original freehand colored pencil drawing that a client commissioned me to do for them. And while it was a challenge, it was still a […]

When I knew I could meet Mary Lynn Rajskub at the same convention, I decided to bring along a print of my Jack and Chloe drawing for her to sign. I had sold the original drawing some time ago, so […]

Knowing I’d get to meet Alex Winter at an upcoming con, I decided to do a colored pencil drawing of Bill and Ted – I didn’t have a ton of time, though, so I had to pick something a […]
With the release of the latest live action Transformers movie in the summer of 2023, I decided to take a stab at a new freehand colored pencil drawing of Optimus Prime – especially since he has more of the classic look […]
I’d never drawn Anna Kendrick before, but this image just screamed – no pun intended – to be turned into a pencil piece. I like how it turned out. (And I definitely can relate to the feeling. Ha!) Purchase link […]
While going through the show “Vikings” on NetFlix using VidAngel, I thought I’d draw Alyssa Sutherland. I liked how the art turned out, but I didn’t think it looked quite enough like her to me. I ended up meeting her […]
I was a late bloomer to the show “24,” getting into it after it had finished its run, but right before the additional season, “Live Another Day.” I drew this in order for Kiefer to sign for me, but then […]

With watching Star Wars: Andor, I thought I might draw Adria Arjona in summer 2023.

I’m a wuss when it comes to watching violent shows and movies. I love the editing service VidAngel because it allows me to still experience these kinds of stories – just a little less brutal. So I ended up watching Vikings through […]
By now, you know I enjoy drawing Evangeline Lilly. I liked this one because it was a different pose altogether, and also a more recent image of her than the ones I usually end up drawing. Also… sometimes those exaggerated, […]
This is a freehand graphite portrait drawing I did of Monica Barbaro from Top Gun: Maverick. This is a good example of a drawing I did on my own that very quickly got purchased as soon as I finished. Fun fact – […]
I went through the full series of Vikings using VidAngel (it’s too graphic for me to watch it unedited) and I loved Katheryn Winnick in the show. This was my first attempt at a portrait of her — it’s not my […]
I’m excited to announce that I will have a table at a craft show at Becky’s Drive-In on Sunday, May 3rd, 2026 in Walnutport, PA. The show will run from 10am to 4pm. (Rain date is May 17th) Come see […]
