It is perhaps the greatest thing in the world when you find that person in your life that you know will ALWAYS be by your side. That person who is there when things are darkest in your life, even when there's nothing they can do to fix it. They're with you, arms always outstretched in loving comfort and support.

A t-shirt design that I've been wanting to do for a long time now.

Kingdom Keepers Calendar

This was done as an entry into an art contest for a 2014 calendar for a series of young adult books called Kingdom Keepers.

My biggest difficulty on this was that I'm completely unfamiliar with the series. But it takes place in Disney amusement parks so I made sure I had a good time by jumping right into the Haunted Mansion.

Here's a few more poem/drawings I've done recently. The Fart Monster was a special favorite of mine..... cause I don't care how old you get, farts are ALWAYS funny.

The Kiddo Jerome poem was done traditionally for a friend which is why it wasn't added to the image like the others.

THE TERRIBLE TALE OF KIDDO JEROME

There once was a boy named Kiddo Jerome
Who decided one day to run away from his home.
He lived on the streets causing mischief aplenty
But he was killed by a mob just before he turned twenty.
They say he still haunts those dim, darkened streets,
And he flies through the alleys spouting terrible shrieks.
So if you find yourself walking through the alleys at night
And you hear a soft sound like the wisp of a kite,
You’d better hurry up and get yourself home
Before you hear the terrible cry of KIDDO JEROME!

P.I.CKLES

When I get a commission to draw someone's pet I groan to myself. Drawing people's pets is usually soooo boring. So when my fiance's best friend came to me and asked me to draw her cat Pickles I felt that usual  groan begin to echo in my head but then she said "But I don't want him to look realistic. I want him to be the star in a detective noir film! You know with a trench coat and everything!"

In a single moment that silent groan became a very audible "WOOHOOO!!" I had a stupid amount of fun on this one. I was genuinely sad when it was done.

This is a little something I did for my fiance but I thought that most people would enjoy it and relate to it.

Minerva & Mr. Ruffles

It's been awhile since I've done a digital painting so when I got commissioned to do one I had to shake of the rust and get back into painting mode. Thus, this little diddy was born. I have no idea what's going on here but I like the overall feel of it.
