I just started a Masters in Animation in Ireland. I’ve been going to a ton of life drawing classes reinvigorating my love of drawing for exploration and fun. Here are a few of the most recent sketches. All were done in short 1-10 minute poses.

So here is video from my ipad where I draw a nude from an art class I taught a while back. I'm really trying to pay attention to rythyms and flow in the figure to get the gesture.

Dear Disney, Even though you own every single IP I like ( for the most part, I have cancelled my subscirption because you capitulated to Trump and fired Jimmy Kimmel. You are an enemy of freedom of speech and a friend to totalitarianism and I will not give you my money.

Every once in a while I mess around digitally to make a quick sketch. I really love raw energetic work, but I often feel like finishes can tighten up too much. In this case I never finished it because I knew the energy would disappear.

Black and white digital sketchy drawing of Batman crouched on top of something architectural. It is highly textural.

For my #DarkArt friends... I really love the aesthetic on this, the creepy necromancers' chamber and his little mouse buddy. This is for the ""Refurbished Familiar"" card for M:tG

I love this piece, I had such a wonderful time creating the dreamlike imagery making the tattoo come to life and the vampire seem fluid and whispy. This is the Dreamdrinker Vampire for M:tG and it's acrylic on board

Painting of a man being held backwards while a whispy, purple, dreamy vampire sucks his soul out from his mouth.

So I’m finally getting around to posting these photos from my trip. This is from the interior of the capuchin monastery in Rome. Decorated in human bones. At first, I was a little freaked out until I realized they made these sculptures to speak to the ephemeral nature of life.

A warrior looking woman holding a sword, wearing a fur shawl and a horned headpiece, standing in front of a twisted tree. Behind the tree is a massive snarling wolf. Crows are sitting in the tree's branches, as well as the roots. A gravestone marker leans against one of the tree's roots.
