Sketchbook - NSFW - 7/16

Some older sketches from reference I've hung onto... I don't think I ever posted them here...

Jockstrap Academy - More casting, pt. 2

In today's random draw of Jockstrap characters I ...  

1. This first guy's name is Stan. I don't have much on him, so he's just filler. I gave him a beach-y tan so imma say he's into surfing and volleyball, but probably also wrestling....

Walk and Talk - a 12-Inch Sketch

This one is pretty rough...

W&D: Aphrodite

I'd like to say I have high expectations for Aphrodite's design but truthfully, my expectations are just as high for as everyone else. In my story, the character is a former It girl/provocateur who isn't really taken seriously by her peers but is ...

Sketching the holidays

12-Inch Bonus Strip #5_Final

I will definitely be drawing page 2 of this one.

Close Quarters 01 - A 12-Inch Sketch

In retrospect... Matt should be mimicking Leo's serious expression...

Works & Days - Les Oreades

I have this grand vision for a piece of promo art for Works and Days based on Les Oreades, the William-Adolphe Bouguereau painting. Like everything about this project, it's very ambitious but I'll get there eventually.

I ...

Jockstrap Academy - more casting

Been working on some new ruff designs for Jockstrap Academy, some are main characters, some supporting, some just random...

1. MK - MK is your run-of-the-mill campus guy. His height is his entire personality. He's a business major, now show...

Separation - a 12-Inch sketch

I've been pushing through some reference images for character design explores. I'm definitely finding confidence faster while drawing these guys.

Quality Time - A 12 Inch Sketch

A haiku: 

Pinch the nipple tight
Hard-earned loins of humble worth
Something grow in grasp

12-Inch Bonus Strip #2 _Final

The bubble work on this one always suffered so it took me a while to go back in and make fixes.

12-Inch Bonus Strip #1_Final

Following up on last week's "final" post, here is another. I could dwell on this one more but decided just to tweak some faces and mark this one "final".

W&D - Page 03 - Ruff Line

My goal on Work & Days is to get 10 pages done at this level - a rough linework that locks in composition and design - but most importantly: script. My wildest ambition would be to create a visual script.

12-Inch Bonus Strip #3_Final

Meant to post this yesterday...

Over my recent vacation I was thinking about my bad creative habits:
1. Making projects much bigger than they need to be
2. Hanging onto old ideas when it's probably better to focus on new ones
3. R...

Back from Vacation

I just got back from a few weeks of vacation and am getting back on my routine. Since I'm not a "tourist-y" traveler, I really thought I'd have more time to write and draw while I was away but instead I ended up reassessing my current creative goa...

Vintage Sketchbook - 5/11

Vintage Sketchbook - 5/4

Looking back at old drawings of butts and biceps is a great way of reminding yourself of good ideas you may have discarded.

Towards the Future

I've hit this point where my page progress has slowed - not because I haven't been dedicating the time... I just don't like the work. Ultimately, I know I need equal parts "don't get too precious" and "let's rationalize what you don't like" to mov...

Vintage sketchbook - 4/27

How could I have forgotten these sketches? They're just as relevant to my POV now.

12-Inch - Book Club Progress - Pages 3 &4 - 4/24/23

Vintage Sketchbook - 4/20

In the moment, back in the day, if you would've told me I would find inspiration in these drawings over all the others, I would've laughed at you. But here we are. 

Eiffel Tower - a 12-Inch WIP

I've been tackling this 12-Inch story from both ends (wink) which might be a mistake - but right now it's fun, I guess. 

Hang in there, baby!

Vintage Sketchbook - 4/13

While recently purging some old sketches there were some drawings of which I couldn't bring myself to let go. Some are just fun and kinda dirty for dirty's sake and some that remind me that I have all the tools and inspiration that are needed to c...
