A job is a chapter, not your title forever. You get to write the next one.

Happy #BookLoversDay Remembering the book I illustrated, wrote and hand bound last year after hiking the Scottish highlands. Feeling the desire to make another one. .. #highlands #Scotland #bookart #handbinding #illustration #highlandcow #selfauthorship #hiking #writing #lochness #journal #rustic

16 Compass True north is not so much a destination as it is a state of mind. Always moving forward and looking towards the future. It’s a fun philosophy but it confuses the heck outta my GPS! . . . . . . #arcadiacreates #bigbadwolf #werewolf #howl #compass #snarl #wolf #monsterart #inktober2021 #inktober16 #penandink #mujipens #fudegokochipen #kuretakebrushpen #pentelwhiteoutpen #ipevo #horrocomics #cartoonist #comics #selfauthorship #goldenageanimation #oldtimeycartoons (at Lost in the Woods) https://www.instagram.com/p/CVHOAmLDyHB/?utm_medium=tumblr

25 Splat Monte wasn’t your “bug repellent” type of guy.

24 Extinct Like living shadow they come. A mixture of claw and fang. No quarry too large for their hunger. As night falls so does the cold blooded king. The only sound the chorus of the pack. . . . . . #tyrannosaurusrex #dinosaurs #werewolves #dinosaursvswerewolves #extinct #monsterart #horrorcomics #inktober2021 #inktober24 #penandink #mujipens #fudegokochibrushpen #pentelwhiteoutpen #beepapersketchbook #chinamarker #selfauthorship #howl #growl #fang #monsterbattle #scratch (at Monster Island) https://www.instagram.com/p/CVb4mewjtNW/?utm_medium=tumblr

17 Collide A rivalry for the ages - Werewolf vs Vampire. I’m a little biased (see all of my Inktober pieces so far) but I wonder who do you think would win? . . . . . #penandink #mabsdrawlloweenclub #mabsdrawlloweenclub2021 #vampire #inktober #inktober17 #ipevo #mujipens #fudegokochibrushpen #kuretakebrushpen #pentelwhiteoutpens #beepapersketchbook #arcadiacreates #werewolfart #horrorcomics #monsterart #werewolfvsvampire #bitethehandthatfeedsyou #howl #selfauthorship (at Universal Studios) https://www.instagram.com/p/CVJWtdADnrg/?utm_medium=tumblr

I’ve been an artist and teacher now for more years than I haven’t. Better part of a quarter of a century. Maybe the best part of that time has been collaboration. Whether with students, friends or my significant other. What’s best part about of the collaborative process? That you put into existence something you could not do alone. That seems way more relevant today than it did when I first started putting pencil to paper. Artists know the importance of being part of a larger picture, working together to make something bigger than the one. Creativity through community. Just sayin’. . Big thanks to my partner in animated crime @mkillian.art for bringing these into the world. Cheers! . . . . . #thebrothersbrimm #animation #cartoons #collaboration #animation #animatedshort #makingart #makingcartoons #teachingart #comicbooks #monsters #demons #comicbooks #characterdesign #characterdesign #penandink #adobeanimate #adobeanimatecc #wafflesandsyrup #thereturnofwafflesandsyrup #selfauthorship (at The Boneyard) https://www.instagram.com/p/CCFWrWPDkqv/?igshid=xvmrdegdj6kl

Couple more pics from the awesomeness of the semester! Maps, business cards for comic characters, recipes, webcomics...? My students @arcadiaartanddesign really knocked it out of the park this semester! Another pic in front of the Sticker Wall, just because.

Over the summer @melissalomaxart and I joined @arcadiawestireland on the creative trip of a lifetime. Our fearless leader @mworrellart lead us on a month long creative expedition that consisted of hiking, touring and exploring landmarks, lots of green, and a few angry cows. Did I mention the hiking? I’ll be sharing the art I created and a ton of photos over the next few weeks. Swipe ▶️ to see more. This first piece is a pen and ink sketch made on our first week.

Yesterday I had the pleasure of hanging with @melissalomaxart Illustration class. We had a blast talking Illustration, Design and making Artist Trading Cards! Want to thank Lomax and all her amazingly talented students for a fantastic day. Here’s a few of the ATCs I drew.
