I always enjoy trying out new pens to see if I will like them better than my current favorite. This doodle was created using the Pigma MICRON 08.

A color illustration I created for a t-shirt concept for a start-up company in Hawaii.

Now that I’ve created this blog that features my cartoon sketches and illustrations, I’ve been going through my old sketchbooks and finding drawings that I want to colorize. Here’s one from waaaaayy back in 2001. Though I’m not 100% sure, I think I may have drawn this on a flight between Detroit and L.A. haha!

One of the greatest influences and inspirations for me as an artist has been the work of Ralph Steadman. For those who have never heard of the name, Ralph Steadman is a BRILLIANT illustrator from England who gained fame illustrating the work of the American journalist Hunter S. Thompson. Over the years I purchased several of Thompson’s books just because Steadman created illustrations for them. Then I finally started to read them and I loved his journalistic voice. Thompson was a voice of truth, rebellion and twisted tales and called out the swine who run this country and who have been using it as their personal trough. Sadly Thompson took his life a few years ago because we sure could use his voice now, more than ever. HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO THE LATE, GREAT FATHER OF GONZO JOURNALISM, HUNTER S. THOMSPON!!!

Every year that I attend the Motor City Comic Con, I always end up buy some new art supplies at the show. Here is a sketch I created using a new art pen and some new bristol board that I had never tried before.

A concept sketch I created for a weird little game I was developing with some friends of mine. The concept is that the player picks a character and travels to different restrooms in different locations, beating up on toilet monsters that are clogging up toilets. Needless to say, the game was never made. hahaha!

I keep several different sketchbooks going at all times. I have one next to my TV, one in my car, one in my office, one in my book bag, one for my pocket, etc. Here are a few small sketches from a small sketchbook I carried around with me in my back pocket. 🙂
