Hey everybody, I’ve been gearing up to write a full length graphic novel and thought it’d be fun to show some of the early sketches. Obviously, I can’t give away the story or the really fun visual stuff, but these should at least give you an idea of what kind of story it might be and who the main characters are [...]
Hey everyone. Sorry I’ve fallen off the face of the planet the past few weeks. I haven’t forgotten about the coloring contest. In fact, I want to announce some changes [...]
The Exploring Ecosystems coloring book came out not too long ago, and as I “slyly” hinted before, I thought it’d be fun to have a coloring contest for kids. Well, here it is! The prizes?

I attended the 22nd Sketchcrawl this past Saturday. What a beautiful day for it, too! For those who are not familiar with Sketchcrawl, it’s a gathering of artists in a critical mass type fashion, who then sketch from life all afternoon, sometimes moving from location to location. It takes place on the same day world-wide, so after the whole thing wraps up, there’s a whole lot of artwork to see [...]
