Illustration

This is how I got my start: drawing. It led me to my concentration on illustration in college so I’ve kept up with my hand skills because I love doing it. Luckily, a lot of that muscle memory transfers over to touchscreen tablets so I get to explore drawing in digital media as well.

My wife earned a master’s degree from UNT (while working full-time!) and the least I could do was illustrate her invitations. I know they’re the eagles but I used her favorite bird, the owl, as I wanted to brag on how smart she is.
My grandpa was an artist that painted signs and windows in west Texas for decades. My grandma always stocked their house with art supplies so I guess you could say they helped start me in the family business. This illustration pays homage to that.
“Inktober” is when many artists dedicate the month to exploring pen and ink drawing. As that’s my wheelhouse, I love it. This piece was inspired by the video game “Borderlands” and the art of Ed “Big Daddy” Roth.
Another Inktober illustration, this pirate came from a time I was playing a lot of Assassin’s Creed Black Flag.
