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, I could NOT reproduce the face of Bill Murray in […]

Bill Murray as Peter Venkman in Ghostbusters Pencil Portrait
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 (or candid?) on set and I just love how natural […]
Pencil Portrait of Martin Freeman as Bilbo Baggins from The Hobbit
Following seeing The Hobbit, I felt inspired to draw this Martin Freeman suited up as Bilbo Baggins. The detail in the shirt was definitely a challenge, but it felt worth it in the end. It was done entirely with just regular wood drawing pencils I believe. [Etsy Listing for Ordering […]
Pencil Portrait of Nathan Fillion in “Firefly”
I’m pretty behind here on posting the latest projects, so it’s catch-up time. Here goes! As a Christmas gift for a dear friend I worked up a sketch of Nathan Fillion as Captain Mal from the popular, cancelled-after-1-season-show, Firefly. It was completed at the end of November in time for […]
Full Color Captain America Colored Pencil Drawing
Graphite pencil is my comfort zone. I started out there, I feel most comfortable there. But it’s pictures like this one that inspire me to go color. It’s a vibrant source photo (a promo for The Avengers movie) and it just aches to be drawn in color. So I decided […]
Bob Hope Pencil Portrait
After finishing the Luke sketch, I again wasn’t sure where to go next, and loved this pose when I stumbled upon it, so I found this to be the fun next entry into my collection of portraits. This drawing of Bob Hope was done entirely in pencil during September, 2012.
Mark Hamill as Luke Skywalker Pencil Portrait
After I finished the Mac drawing, I wasn’t sure what to work on next. I came to decide that I’ve never drawn Luke Skywalker and that needed to be remedied. This is a drawing of a promo shot of Luke / Mark Hamill for Empire Strikes Back. All of it […]
Mac Powell of Third Day Pencil Portrait
What’s interesting about this drawing of Third Day’s Mac Powell is that it’s the first pencil portrait I’ve done from a photo I’ve taken. I took this at Winter Jam 2010 in January and worked on it on and off for a couple months that year. Then my “studio” of […]
Christian Bale as Batman Pencil Portrait
In July, 2012, I felt inspired by the new film The Dark Knight Rises to work on a Batman portrait. I’d actually worked on this before seeing it, and revisited the previous two films in the process. While working on it, I knew I’d wanted to have Batman and Bruce […]
Leigh Nash Drawing Portrait
In July, 2012, I felt inspired by listening to the latest Sixpence None The Richer album, Lost In Translation, to work on a new portrait of Leigh Nash. I’d drawn Leigh years ago in college for my sister-in-law Mim (who’s a huge fan) and then did another one just for […]
