Just picked this up from the framers. Pumped with how the mat and framing came out. Anti-reflective glass makes all the difference. Shout out to Coll's Custom Framing for their flawless attention to detail. The framed original "Storm Trooper" drawing is spoken for, but prints will be available as early as the end of this week. Stay tuned for details. Turn on Post Notifications to stay in the loop.

Little start to my latest commission. Love starting with the eyes and working my way out. Lots of textures in this one, so it's going to be a challenge. Opting to use graphite pencil since there aren't a ton of black areas and plenty of midtones. Haven't done a cat portrait in years. Looking forward to diving into this.

Finished up my leg sleeve on my birthday this week by the amazing @mistertroshin. Couldn't be happier. His level of detail blows my mind. Check out his work. It's insane. Zoom in for details. . . . #nautical #tattoo #sleeve #halfsleeve #compass #compassrose #rope #lantern #map #mistertroshin
Here's an oldie of a self portrait I did a few years back, "Window to the Soul". This was done in graphite pencil on Bristol. Looking forward to starting my next commission this week.

Yuge shoutout to @worldofpencils for their continued support!!! Can't thank you guys enough for everything you do for the art community, helping artists like myself get worldwide exposure. Your generosity and daily posts are not only appreciated but also inspiring. It was a pleasure meeting you guys and finally putting some faces to names at this year's Philadelphia Tattoo Convention. Always happy to rock your gear. Thank you for the swag and continued support!!! . . . #worldofpencils #supportart
Little progression pic stitch of my recent stormtrooper drawing. This one was fun. Can't wait for The Last Jedi to come out in December. Let me know if you have any questions about my process.

Whenever I add a black background, I have to go back in and darken my shadows and transitions. It's by choice that I leave the background out until the very end to keep my work clean and smudge free for as long as possible. Another couple hours should wrap this piece up. . . . #WIP #charcoal #pencil #charcoalpencil #drawing #charcoaldrawing #pencildrawing #pencilartist #photoreal #photorealism #photorealistic #hyperreal #hyperrealism #hyperrealistic #artnerd #artcollective #artofdrawingg #worldofpencils #starwars #stormtrooper
Super happy with how this healed. One year later, we're working on the other side of my leg to complete the nautical half sleeve. Done by the amazing @mistertroshin. Based on my "Moby Dick" drawing.

Chipping away on this. Really happy with the texture (zoom in). My schedule has gotten the best of me the last week or so, but I should be able to make some headway this coming week.
