I want to start sharing some of my sketches and drawings. Often my day will start with about an hour of sketching or drawing to loosen up, have fun, and often times an excuse to draw a monster. Today’s Monday Monster is our pal Cthulhu.… Continue Reading
I was happy to dive back in with the 4 Week Challenge, which was focused on creating new images. I wanted to start bringing in more “editorial” type of work and so, wanted to bolster my portfolio with some images.
