I’m part of a comics exhibit at the Philly Airport between terminals E and F. I’ve got a very goofy comic strip up there about playing pranks and joking around in Philly’s art museum… #comics #philadelphia

I was hired recently to draw a house in southern Maryland that I've enjoyed visiting with my family. Bonus fun for me included creative license with varying levels of realism, and an opportunity to try out some new color schemes... #architecture #illustration #maryland
