This drawing of comedian Harpo Marx is actually probably my all-time favorite portrait I’ve done. I finished it 4/24/2005 (according to my scribbling on the back of it) and it has actually been hanging in my living room since then. It was drawn freehand from a photo of Harpo that […]

Cary Grant Pencil Drawing
I started this Cary Grant portrait in the end of April, 2005, while watching Antz on my laptop (2010 note: I get amusement out of re-reading what I was doing or watching or where I was while working on these drawings. It’s silly trivia, but it’s kind of funny to […]
Kate Winslet and Jim Carrey in “Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind” Pencil Drawing
Whew! This was a project. I started drawing this particular one on June 23, 2006. I worked on it a bit every few nights (I took progress shots with my cell phone camera. I may try to get those up on here sometime), but ultimately lost the drive and […]
Dan Aykroyd as Ray Stantz Pencil Drawing
“Venkman! Venkmaaaaan!” This portrait of Dan Akroyd from his role as Ray Stanz in Ghostbusters marked my return to portraits in 2004. It’s the first finished drawing I started probably since the Jim Caviezel sketch. While some drawings rested unfinished in a pad somewhere (including Harpo Marx, which thankfully I […]
Jim Carrey as ‘The Grinch’ (Colored Pencil)
I started this colored pencil drawing of Jim Carrey as The Grinch (2000) during my last semester of college at Northampton Community College in 2000. I remember often just sitting in the school’s cafeteria working on it. I found it a challenge to try to capture the color of the […]
Mark Ruffalo and Reese Witherspoon “Just Like Heaven” Pencil Drawing
For Christmas, 2004, I drew that picture from “Serendipity” for my wife Amy as one of her gifts. I was honestly shocked at how much she loved it. When I asked her why she liked that picture over others I’d done for her in the past, it was because I’d […]
Kate Winslet and Lloyd Pencil Drawing
This used to be one of my all-time favorite portrait drawings — mainly because it’s something different than anything I’d done before and I liked the outcome (which is rare). I just love the fact that Lloyd is just hanging out in the same “world” as us. By the way, […]
Leonardo DiCaprio Pencil Drawing
There were many reasons, originally, for a second Leonardo DiCaprio drawing. Although I don’t care for him much now, at the time, it sounded great for a… “sequel.” The first Leo drawing, the one I did for my cousin, was distributed to probably over 100 people and further. However, when […]
Jim Carrey “Truman Show” Pencil Drawing (1998)
I drew this picture because, I have to admit– Jim Carrey is one of my favorite actors. (I don’t agree with some of the roles he plays and some of the material he has in his movies, but there’s something about his characters that always drew me to relate). One […]
Sarah Jahn Pencil Drawing
This portrait of singer Sarah Jahn was the first ever drawn in my “infamous” sketchbook (which acted as a sort of prehistoric portfolio). I had started it many months before, without finishing it until June 2, 1998. For some reason I had gotten lazy and abandoned it for a long […]
