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 […]

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 had the ever-so-brief pleasure of meeting Michael J. Fox in 2018 at Boston Fan Expo, but it was for a photo op, not an autograph session. At a Philly con, I decided to get him to sign my drawing… […]
Knowing I’d be able to meet Tom Wilson at a comic-con in Philly, I did a relatively quick colored pencil and marker drawing (on toned tan paper) of Tom as Biff in Back to the Future. 🙂 He was a […]
This was another one of those drawings that took forever to finish. I forget exactly why, but I kept shelving it and coming back to it later. I believe it was a candid photo Karen Gillan had posted of her […]
With the release of Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, I thought I might do a Shuri-Black Panther drawing with a tribute to Chadwick Boseman baked in. I did this one freehand with mostly colored pencil, and some colored pencil for her fallen […]

In high school, some of my first decent portrait drawings were actually of Leonardo DiCaprio from Titanic. But I never drew Jack and Rose together. So, in 2023, I decided to do a new portrait drawing of Jack and Rose together, […]
