I wanted to get back into portraits, so I started with a tiny Will Graham.
It’s rough being in that weird in-between stage with illustration. Better than average, but still wonky as hell. Just gotta keep grinding out heads and faces.

Trying out collage for the first time. I’ve been collecting bits of ephemera forever, but never had the courage to try something. Also, every time I see a fallow deer, it’s asleep…

For the past year, I’ve felt disconnected from my art. It came down to being overworked and unable to find the bandwidth. This summer, I’ve decided to finally cross that desert and seek artistic life again. I bought a new sketchbook and some Posca pens, and here’s page one!

“At a lull in the entertainment, the man looked at me and smiled.”
- F. Scott Fitzgerald, The Great Gatsby
King Dice from the 1930s-inspired game, “Cuphead”. It is rather rejuvenating to draw someone so unabashedly sleezy. Copic markers. 2018.

“Here is your country. Cherish these natural wonders, cherish the natural resources, cherish the history and romance as a sacred heritage, for your children and your children’s children. Do not let selfish men or greedy interests skin your country of its beauty, its riches or its romance.”
– Theodore Roosevelt

I expected it to have trouble with “Dik Dik.” “Duiker” could have been worse. Didn’t expect the word “antelope” to be captioned as “anal.”
