Over the summer 2017, I drew 46 sketch cards for Topps Trading Cards for their 2017 Star Wars MasterWork series. The cards are a high-end collector’s series that includes random sketch cards from a slew of great artists as bonus cards inside trading card packs. The sketches are the actual […]

Colored Pencil Drawing of Blake Lively
Gotta love Blake Lively! I loved her in Age of Adaline and have been a fan since. I thought this photo of her was lovely and I tried my best to do it justice in colored pencil form. I drew it freehand on white Strathmore smooth bristol paper. Etsy link […]
Graphite and colored pencil/marker drawing of Damon Wayans and Clayne Crawford from TV’s “Lethal Weapon”
If you like buddy comedies and buddy cop shows, you haven’t lived till you’ve seen “Lethal Weapon.” Sure, it’s based off of a beloved movie franchise, but it translates wonderfully to the small screen. I drew this duo of Damon Wayans and Clayne Crawford in graphite pencil (freehand) and filled […]
Colored Pencil Drawing of Keira Knightley
Between commissions and doing some Topps sketch cards (more on that later), this drawing took some time to finish up. This is a freehand colored pencil portrait of actress Keira Knightley. Etsy link: https://www.etsy.com/listing/564124743/print-of-colored-pencil-drawing-of-keira
Freehand Graphite Drawing of William Powell and Myrna Loy
I just adore these two! I owe my love of old, classic movies to my grandfather and my mom. The Thin Man movies, as well as any of the other 6 or so movies Myrna Loy and William Powell did together, are among some of my favorite. Nick and Nora […]
Anakin versus Darth Vader commission piece
As a commissioned piece through Etsy, I did this marker and colored pencil drawing that shows Darth Vader/Anakin battling his Jedi self, with the Emperor pulling the strings in the background. It was challenging, but also kind of fun. 🙂 Etsy link for prints: https://www.etsy.com/listing/562515713/color-pencil-marker-drawing-print-of
Updated Harpo Marx Freehand Drawing
I’ve only done it a few times, but sometimes it feels good to revisit an older drawing and put some time into reworking it with fresh eyes and a different perspective. I’d drawn this some time ago (maybe 10 years ago?) and it had hung in my living room until […]
The Marx Brothers Freehand Graphite Drawing
I also wanted to replace a Harpo Marx drawing I had hanging in my living room with a drawing of all three brothers, so I took a stab at this image. When it came time to take down the Harpo drawing… well, I decided on a different route… Etsy link […]
Graphite Drawing of Cary Grant
I’ve had a freehand drawing I did in 2005 hanging in my living room since I drew it… so I felt as though 12 years was a good enough time to spend looking at the same drawing. I’ve tried drawing Cary Grant several times since then, with unsatisfying results, but […]
Colored Pencil Ray Stantz, Winston Zeddemore Ghostbusters Freehand Colored Pencil Drawing
This piece was one I drew freehand for a free indie mp3 compilation for my website, Jesusfreakhideout.com. The drawing was done on black Strathmore Artagain paper in colored pencil. I used several different references to make it all work, including a wide shot from Ghostbusters, then two different close-up moments […]
“Ghostbusters II” Peter, Ray, Egon Freehand Graphite Drawing
I hate not finishing something I start. I started this drawing in early 2016 and just really struggled with making it come together. I eventually set it aside until the summer of 2017 when I decided to work on it some more. I’m glad I did, and now the final […]
