With my love for Casino Royale (and Eva Green!) I wanted to draw a new Bond & Vesper portrait. I decided to use the movie poster featuring the Casino Royale facade with a Vesper portrait (showcasing the love knot jewelry) and a rare promo image of Bond to make something unique. […]

Freehand Colored Pencil Wedding Portrait
It’s true – I don’t just draw celebrities and pop culture characters. 🙂 On occasion, as time permits, I do commissioned portraits for people. This was a freehand colored pencil portrait on 9×12 paper for a client.

Uma Thurman Freehand Graphite Portrait
“Uma, Jerry… UMA!” I have to admit I haven’t seen a ton of Uma’s films, but she’s definitely memorable in the ones I’ve seen her in (especially “Gattaca”). I knew it was due time to give drawing her likeness a shot. This one is drawn entirely freehand with graphite pencils. […]
Rocket Raccoon Colored Pencil “Avengers: Endgame” Drawing

Eiza Gonzalez Freehand Timelapse Sketch
I figured I’d change things up a bit with a graphite “sketch” portrait of model/actress Eiza Gonzalez and ended up recording the whole thing via timelapse in a couple different sessions and then stitched it all together.

Freehand Graphite Drawing of Dwight and Jim in “The Office”
The Office fanbase has been some of the most encouraging and supportive of my work. And with it being my favorite show, it makes it easier to want to make more new artwork based around some of my favorite characters. This one featuring Jim giving the his classic look just […]
