Now for something a little different… I have always loved making mixtape cover art on the computer, but when my website JFH started doing compilations in 2012 to showcase indie artists, I had fun drawing the covers or taking photos for the covers for each one. For Vol. 10 of […]

Wakko Warner Colored Pencil Drawing
How can you not love the Animaniacs – or Wakko Warner? I drew this a VERY long time ago, probably in college, and it’s made with colored pencils. I decided to scan it more recently to offer prints to anyone interested. It’s drawn from a still from one of my […]
Spider-Man Tom Holland Colored Pencil, Marker and Graphite Drawing
This one runs the full spectrum of media creation for me. For several years now, I’ve been drawing album cover art for free MP3 compilations my site JFH has been compiling and giving away. For this one, I wanted to do a drawing of Tom Holland’s Spider-Man with the […]
The Real Ghostbusters Commissioned Drawing
Every once in a while, you get a very specific commission project. This one was done for a Ghostbusters fan who wanted a collage of The Real Ghostbusters characters in a very particular way. I drew in a little larger than I usually do with colored pencil and marker. […]
Making My Own Trading Cards: Working with Primoprint
Even for artists who enjoy to make their art by hand the traditional way, printing jobs are often still a regularity. While opening a pack of Star Wars trading cards a couple years ago, I found inside a trading card that simply had a still photo on the front and […]
Ghostbusters / Real Ghostbusters Art Book Submission Mash-Up
In March, 2019, I worked on an exclusive original drawing for an upcoming Ghostbusters-themed art book. It was centered on the original team, which, as many of you know, has long been my favorite movie. I jumped at the chance to do this project. I worked pretty intensely on a […]
Freehand Colored Pencil Star-Lord Drawing for Cover Art
For as long as I’ve loved music, I’ve loved making mixtapes, mix CDs and playlists. For several years now, my music website – Jesusfreakhideout.com – has been releasing independent music samplers – completely FREE to download. For the latest one, I decided to draw Chris Pratt as Peter Quill / […]
Original Freehand Drawing of Duo Vocal Few for Poster Art
Earlier this year, husband/wife duo Vocal Few approached me about doing an original drawing for a tour poster they wanted to make. I mocked it up with pencil and worked closely with them on the color scheme, tone, etc and above is the end result of the drawing. Below is […]
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
Graphite Pencil Drawing of Evangeline Lilly
OK, so sometimes after a long day of double the work, I don’t feel like doing anything work related (in this case, two commission drawings in progress), or even the fun projects already in progress. On this night, I just wanted to draw something new and in just graphite pencil. […]
“Kylo Ren & Stimpy” Spoof
I’m a real sucker for a good mashup. In anticipation of Star Wars: The Force Awakens I did this colored pencil/pencil/marker drawing of Kylo Ren from Star Wars with Ren & Stimpy (and Stimpy as Captain Phasma) Etsy link for the original: https://www.etsy.com/listing/251818321/drawing-of-kylo-ren-stimpy-star-wars
Colored Pencil Marty McFly on Black Artagain Paper
If you know me, you’ll know that while drawing was my first love, music is probably my second love. I started a Christian music website in 1996 as a sophomore in high school on a little free web page on Angelfire.com. In 1998, the site moved to Jesusfreakhideout.com where it […]
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 […]
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, […]
Eric Champion Pencil Drawing Cutout on Foam Board
This portrait of singer Eric Champion is actually one I did while in high school in 1996. It originated as a just a sketch in a barren sketchbook. It had basically disappeared till the 1997 art show in which I resurrected it for entry. My teacher suggested I cut it […]
Surrealism Project
In my spring semester of my Freshman year of community college, in Drawing II class, we were instructed to draw a “surrealism” drawing as our final project. Surrealism is basically a partially realistic rendering of a dream-like fantasy world. Examples of professional surrealism is Salvador Dahli‘s famous melting clock painting. […]
Non-Traditional Self-Portrait
In my spring semester of my Freshman year of community college, in Drawing II class, we were instructed to draw a “non-traditional self-portrait” of ourselves for an assignment. The final product was 18 x 20, and due to its large size, I couldn’t just scan it. Because of that, I […]
Time Magazine Cover Project
In my spring semester of my Sophomore year of community college, in Illustration class, we had to make a caricature of ourselves as if we were to be on the cover of Time Magazine. I decided to draw Lloyd, my chipmunk character who is part of the Radical Rodents comic […]
Ghostbusters Parody
I started my own personal comic book series in 1994 about 4 chipmunks and a guinea pig in a Christian band called Radical Rodents. Since then I’ve done several parodies and spoofs as issues and lately, I’ve just spent the time and have done merely the covers. This was the […]
Back to the Future Parody
I started my own personal comic book series in 1994 about 4 chipmunks and a guinea pig in a Christian band called Radical Rodents. Since then I’ve done several parodies and spoofs as issues and lately, I’ve just spent the time and have done merely the covers. This was the […]
