Inktober 2022 Day #2: SCURRY
INKTOBER 2022 Day #2: SCURRY. I'm pretty happy with this one, in terms of composition, rendering, and theme. This was the first time in probably at least ten years I have drawn anything related to my graphic novel Revery, and if felt great to do so. I keep pushing it to the back burner
Inktober 2022 Day #1: GARGOYLE
INKTOBER 2022 Day #1: GARGOYLE. As expected, I'm starting Inktober a few days late, and if I lose myself on each prompt the way I did with this one, I'm going to fall way behind this year. This illustration took me almost 8 hours. I've never been a huge Batman fan. I am of
Lee’s Dragons: Bird Dragon
I decided to get a little ambitious for the 2022 birthday dragon for my wife. One of my first ideas last year before I landed on the Cat Dragon was a small, bird-like perching dragon. When I started brainstorming for this year, I kept coming back to the Bird Dragon. Once I have an
Mother’s Day Card 2022
Normally, my theme each year is based off of something we have done together as a family, some notable occasion, some adventure we went on. Thinking back over the last year, though, nothing really stood out. At least, nothing that I could turn into a card (some graduations, an Eagle project, that sort of
PMD Xmas Card Envelopes 2021: Torch
This envelope went to my best friend Jorj. He and I met in college and bonded over a shared sense of humor and love of cartoons and comics. We used to quote cartoons at each other (and still do, but in meme form now) or otherwise just make references to the animated awesomeness we
PMD Xmas Card Envelopes 2021: Snow Shovel
Last year, I sent my great friend (from all the way back in high school!) the "shovel" Totally Reasonable Use for a Plunger, so I thought it was only appropriate to also point out that a plunger makes for a decent snow shovel, too. I draw a lot of influence from the great Bill
PMD Xmas Card Envelopes 2021: Pogo Stick
This envelope went to my cousin Cheryl, who I spent a lot of time growing up with (and her sisters, too). We were all around the same age and lived just two streets away. We all went to school together (including several of us going tot he same college) and spent one day a
PMD Xmas Card Envelopes 2021: Golf Club
I drew this envelope for my parents. My dad was an avid golfer for a number of years, and still watches tournaments pretty religiously. This one was pretty fun to draw. With golf as popular as it is, there were plenty of reference images I found. I'm a bit of a workout/exercise geek, I
PMD Xmas Card Envelopes 2021: Fly Swatter
The fly swatter envelope went to another old high school friend, Tracey. I have to remember she has a young son, so I should be careful about the ideas I might plant in his head...Last year I sent her the "cookie cutter" Totally Reasonable Use for a Plunger since she was posting a lot
PMD Xmas Card Envelopes 2021: Flashlight
I sent "flashlight" to my dear friend Cat and her wife Kim. I've known Cat since college, and she's an amazing artist herself. Cat and Kim have been huge fans and supporters of PMD since the beginning, and that means a lot to me, as does their friendship. There's probably some symbolism that could
PMD Xmas Card Envelopes 2021: Ear Muffs
As I've mentioned in previous years, my best friend (and super talented writer) Bill and I share a deep love of all things Star Wars. I usually try to use that as a jumping off point for his annual envelope (there has been a plunger saber and a Grogu sporting a plunger hat in
PMD Xmas Card Envelopes 2021: Darts
Hannah is the niece of my friends Cat and Kim and has also become a PMD fan. She recently finished art school herself and I'm sure will be doing great things in her future. Hopefully PMD will continue to amuse.
Please let me know what you think, it makes my brain happy.
