Fun & Fanart

I thought some fanart might liven up the place. So here's a take on my favorite Disney Princess, Mulan, and her fresh new look form Ralph Breaks The Internet.

Background Characters

I always try to make background characters visually interesting with the hope the reader will want to learn more about them. These two are for a side project I'm currently working on.

Finding Your Rhythm

Good tunes are essential to good drawing. Music keeps me relaxed while freeing me up creatively. It's also a good idea to let loose and draw like no one's watching. So crank it up…art is supposed to be fun, right?

Tag…You're It!

I have mixed feelings about graffiti, but I understand the need to leave a mark. Angst can be a powerful motivator and street art an inspiration to many. #SpreadTheLove #SupportArt

Seasons Greetings!

Merry Christmas!! Here are some recent holiday sketches to cheer you up. Maybe I should go into the greeting card business. Happy Holidays and all that Jazz!

Extra! Extra!

Creating background figures for an illustration can be like hiring extras for a film. They need to be appropriate to the current setting while being both generic and diverse. It's easy to get caught up creating cool characters and spending way too much time on them than is actually needed.

Here are a few out of context for a current project.

Insta-Gramification

Like most of the cool kids, I'm on Instagram. For those interested in seeing more of my work, I go by @duckduckgorilla. Same as I do here and on Twitter. I post more frequently there as well, but I'll always come back to my blog. As always, thanks for checking out my work.
