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 […]

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 […]
“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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]

This shot is a scene from the 2001 film Serendipity in which Kate Beckinsale’s character (Sara) had been ice skating with John Cusack’s character (Jonathan) and when they both fall, they retreat to a park bench. As a result of […]
This picture of Tommy Lee Jones originated in my “infamous” sketch book which became home to all of my high school portrait drawings. This one was made using only pencil, however, I used different shades, of course. But since Tommy […]
After movies like Rush Hour and Shanghai Noon, Jackie Chan secured himself as one of my favorite actors. I’ve always liked his characters because he manages to be funny and amaze with his martial arts abilities. This drawing began as […]
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 […]
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 […]
