This sketch was my first portrait of 2002 and broke an almost year-long hiatus from drawing. I had done other drawings that were just basically doodles and such since then, but this was the first real detail-oriented sketch in a long time. Jim Caviezel is a fantastic actor and an […]
Leonardo DiCaprio Charcoal Drawing
I drew this picture for my 16-year-old cousin Laura in January/early February ’98, and gave it to her soon after I finished. She had begged me to draw Leo for her for a long time and in the midst of all the hype with Titanic and her persistence, I caved […]
MacGyver (Richard Dean Anderson) Sketch
This one of Richard Dean Anderson (MacGyver) was sketched on special charcoal paper using strictly graphite pencils. The paper was hard to work with, but it creates a sketchier look– if you want that. However, I only used this paper once after this drawing and haven’t touched it since. I […]
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 […]

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

Brendan Fraser as Rick O’ Connell
After movies like Blast From the Past and The Mummy, Brendan Fraser solidified himself as one of my new favorite actors. I did this sketch in the spring of 2000 and the photo is from the his 1999 film, The Mummy. One funny fact about the drawing is while working […]
An Art Blog!
Hey all – John here. I decided this morning it would be kinda fun to turn these drawing pages into sort of a more interactive format. I feel like my own personal site is a bit lifeless, but perhaps this could liven it up just a bit where you all […]
