Truth be told, any drawing with more than one person to capture a likeness for is daunting to me… but 1984 Ghostbusters is still my favorite movie and I love drawing stuff for it. So for this one, I am the client. […]
Bill Murray
I was super thrilled to see the original Ghostbusters return in 2020/2021’s Ghostbusters: Afterlife. I did several drawings based on characters and scenes from the movie, and wanted to do one of older Peter Venkman. A good portrait image of him […]
Of course, with the reveal that the original Ghostbusters trio returned for the film’s finale… I also knew I wanted to draw these guys together. Some are upset I didn’t include Egon, too, but this shot in the film, with […]
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 […]
I hate not finishing something I start. I started this drawing in early 2016 and just really struggled with making it come together. I eventually set it aside until the summer of 2017 when I decided to work on it […]
And then someone wants to pay you to draw your four favorite characters from your favorite movie. Only drawback is you have to give it up when it’s done. 🙂 This is a pencil drawing with red colored pencil accents […]
Even though Hollywood has made a parody of the original “Ghostbusters” film with a reboot (which I refuse to see), the 1984 film is still my all-time favorite film. And it’s just really fun to draw these guys. I love […]
I did a drawing of these two a few years ago from the first movie, just sitting on steps chatting between takes. I saw this image and loved how it was kind of a sequel to it, which was from […]
As I continue to experiment with colored pencil, I decided to try out the original GB’s in their blue labcoats for this portrait of all three guys. It was certainly a challenge for me, but a fun one to do […]
I loved the subtle relationship between Bob and Charlotte in “Lost in Translation.” This one was challenging (especially Scarlett’s tilted head), but fun to do – especially when adding color in with regular graphite pencil.

Like Egon before him, this one proved to be a huge struggle for me. First of all, I wanted a different-than-usual pose of Bill as Peter, and I wanted animated Peter to match the character well. I was drawn to […]
Exhibit A. (See previous post about Audrey Hepburn) This was a challenge for sure. I really enjoy doing Ghostbusters themed pieces and I was surprised, while looking for inspiring images online, to have never seen the source photo for this […]
I finally bit the bullet and attempted this screenshot from the beginning of the film. I’ve been wanting to draw it for years actually. I worked on this from November 26 thru December 3, 2013.

I loved the camaraderie and “broseph”-ness of this photo. I believe it was taken while the guys where having a smoke break during the filming of Ghostbusters. This was a big challenge for me because, for the life of me, […]
Ghostbusters has been and probably always will be my favorite all-time movie. As such, I just really enjoy trying to make new artwork themed around these characters and actors. I found a black and white photo of Bill Murray posing […]
I believe this drawing was done last fall sometime, but it was a fun project. Aside from this film remaining at the top of my list of favorites, it was fun to experiment with a different size source photo… and […]
This drawing has been a long time coming. Back when I had done the drawing of Ray from “Ghostbusters,” I had wanted to also do this scene from the film. It’s when Bill Murray as Peter Venkman gets attacked by […]
