Bridge Out


This is a cartoon I drew a couple weeks ago just for kicks.  I just did a new take on the troll character I made for the Monster Alphabet and put him in what would be a tough spot for him.

I also took this time that I drew it to make a video and give an overview of how I draw and color an illustration, from pencils to final digital colors.  It's very abbreviated, but it's there to give an idea of how it's done.

MITO ACTION G!!


Last year, I ran a fundraiser to help out a local boy named Gavin who has Mitochondrial Disease.  A big part of his illness is him suffering from seizures and his sister started a fundraiser to get Gavin a seizure dog.  It was successful and Hershey has been Gavin's companion and invaluable helper for over a year now.

This year, Gavin and I sat down to design our own fundraiser to help his family pay their crippling medical bills.  Gavin's incredible 6-year-old imagination came up with MITO ACTION G, a superhero who helps everyone who has Mitochondrial Disease.

It was great working with this kid and seeing him get excited about the character and the design that we made.  I drew him as he dictated, right down to the colors used and Hershey the Seizure Dog's jet pack.

You can see our designs and videos of me inking them below:














 Now that the designs are done, they are available for sale as prints, phone, ipad or computer cases, t-shirts and more.  I've got a couple other random designs up for sale in this store as well.  It's important to know that ALL PROCEEDS from the sales of these items go to benefit Gavin and his family.  This is a great cause and one I feel extremely lucky to be a part of.  Working with Gavin has been a great for me.  I've had a lot of fun working with this talented young man, and have enjoyed getting to know him.  He's got a great outlook on things and is super positive and wanting to pitch in and help.  He's a great kid and part of a great family.

Demon Bros


Not much to this one... I got finished with a couple older projects this morning and decided to take the day and draw for myself.  I was gonna just sketch and scribble all day, but eventually, I decided to do a finished drawing of my boys... as their demon alter egos...

Thanks for checking in.
