After they’d released some of the first images of Harrison Ford as Indiana Jones again, I felt inspired to draw him back in the hat. While the movie ended up being a mixed bag, it was still kind of nice […]
And how can you NOT love Jessica Biel? Sheesh. The first time I drew her was about 4 years earlier as a sketch, but this was the first time I drew her proper. To purchase the original drawing: https://johndibiaseart.com/jessica-biel-original-portrait-drawing-not-a-print To […]

Angelina Jolie is always a fun one to draw. Due to her popularity, I’ve been inspired to draw her more often. I was surprised at how quickly the original drawing of this one sold, too. As usual, I drew this […]
I definitely have a soft spot for Hayley Atwell, but I’m also a Captain America fan. For Marvel’s “What If” animated series, they imagined what might have been if Peggy Carter had gotten the super soldier serum instead of […]
I’ll be back at the supposed “final” reunion for the show The Office this weekend at the Meadowlands in NJ! It’s August 2nd & 3rd! I’ll have a table selling original artwork, prints, bookmarks, stickers, buttons, magnets and more! Come […]
Hey friends, This one’s a bit scary to write—but also a bit exciting. After years of pouring hours (and blood, sweat, and tears) into each of my pencil portrait originals, I’ve made the decision to raise my prices on all […]
Win Original Art + a Signed Copy of Lloyd the Chipmunk and the Quest for the Perfect Job! I’m excited to announce a special giveaway to celebrate the release of my very first children’s book, Lloyd the Chipmunk and the […]
Galaxy Quest is SO good. It’s so underrated. And Missi Pyle is just too cute. When I had the chance to meet her at a convention, I knew I wanted to jump at it. I decided to draw her as […]
In anticipation of meeting E.T.’s Henry Thomas at a convention, I decided to draw E.T. and Elliott for Henry to sign for us. Growing up, it was my one aunt’s faaaavorite movie. So much so, she always had a bowl of […]
I haven’t seen a single episode of Game of Thrones, but I wanted to draw Emilia Clarke — probably after seeing her in Solo. But also to expand my drawing subjects. I drew this one freehand with graphite pencils. Link to […]

At the same convention I failed to meet Terry Farrell at, Jane Banks’ Karen Dotrice was in attendance. My wife is a HUGE Mary Poppins fan, so I drew this for her in anticipation of meeting Karen – who was […]
I loved Terry Farrell as Jadzia Dax in Star Trek: Deep Space Nine as a kid. I drew this in anticipation of hopefully meeting her at a convention a couple years ago, but when we went – sort of on […]
Actress Ana de Armas is the latest celebrity to fall victim to me drawing her a couple times too often. However, people seem to enjoy seeing new pieces of Ana popping up from time to time, so at least I […]

This one gets ya in the feels. As a fan of Stranger Things, there was so much about this moment that made me want to draw it – the tenderness, the joy and emotion… she had thought she’d never see him […]
I loved Eva Green in Casino Royale – one of my favorite movies – and I’ve always really enjoyed trying to draw her. This one – despite the mind-numbing shirt details – was a fun one because of her facial […]
Here is a commissioned freehand graphite drawing I did a couple years ago of Benedict Cumberbatch as Doctor Strange. The client liked the dissheveled look of Cumberbatch in this candid photo and wanted me to draw it… so here it […]
Speaking of falling in love with actresses based on their roles — how about Kate Beckinsale in Serendipity! I know she probably has become more known for slaying vampires, but to me, she’ll always be the object of John Cusack’s […]
Ever since The Rocketeer, it was hard not to pretty much be in love with Jennifer Connelly. Every once in a while, I like to take a stab at a new drawing of Jennifer, and this was my 2022 attempt. I […]
My second-ever pop-up shop is taking place on Sunday, March 16th at Michael’s Arts & Crafts in Easton, PA from 1pm to 5pm! Come see me! I’ll have prints, original drawings, bookmarks, stickers, magnets and books on sale during that […]
Popular stock photo service Depositphotos – which I’ve used for some part-time client work as well as on my own site, Jesusfreakhideout.com – recently interviewed me about the use of AI to make images, and how I used it to […]

With the release of “Lloyd the Chipmunk and the Quest for the Perfect Job,” I had been bitten by the book-publishing bug. Since I did the writing, illustrating, digital converting and assembly of the book all by myself, I knew […]
Another freehand graphite commissioned piece I did is this one of the Allman Brothers. To say this was an involved and detailed drawing would be quite an understatement. 🙂 Link for prints: https://johndibiaseart.com/the-allman-brothers-drawing-print
From time to time, I get commissioned to draw a pop culture character for a client, and here is my freehand graphite drawing of Sons of Anarchy’s Charlie Hunnam. Link for prints: https://johndibiaseart.com/charlie-hunnam-drawing-print
After kicking the idea around for years, I’ve finally written and illustrated my very own childrens book! “Lloyd the Chipmunk and the Quest for the Perfect Job” tells the story of a little chipmunk named Lloyd who begins to ponder […]
I had the pleasure of meeting Devon from The Office at DunderCon in 2022. He wasn’t a big or popular character on the show, but he is part of one of the most iconic episodes in the series – in […]
If anyone follows the Netflix hit show Stranger Things, they know the new character of Eddie in Season 4 was a huge fan favorite. In 2022, when it came to picking a subject for the next “Songs We’ve Been Trying […]
