Keep Calm.. a piece of advice from a zombie

Here's just a little something I drew... I got bored one day and decided to draw a zombie :)

I can't take credit for the original zombie concept, that's someone else's. But, it's good practice for some of my own original zombie drawings in the future! Personally I like the saying behind it too. A think we could all remember that most days.

Also, I think I want to start putting my favorite song of the week on here... I may try it out for a while. Look for it on the side panel. I love music so much, that I would love to share with you some oldies, some new stuff, some classics.. honestly... whatever song I have on repeat in my iTunes that week! Enjoy!!

A helping hand (and some new art too)

Hello all! It's been a while.. but I'm back.

In the midst of all my freelance work I'm doing, I like to break off and do something different. Yesterday, I was frustrated with a portrait. So instead of hauling the entire thing to my parents house to work on, I brought something else to work on. And in a total of 1.5 hours, this is what I completed:

This is Mary Kay Ash herself. She is, obviously the founder of Mary Kay cosmetics. Unfortunately, she passed on Thanksgiving day in 2001.

It's amazing what I can accomplish sometimes when I'm not doing the work I'm supposed to be doing!

Here is another drawing that I completed a while ago. This is Rich Franklin, the UFC fighter. Todd trains with him every now and then and we often see him when we go out for sushi. He's a great guy - very down to earth. This drawing is for Todd!


Rich is drawn on an 11 x 17 piece of bristol board and Mary Kay is drawn on an 9 x 12 piece of bristol board.

Also, look for me in the December/January issue of Cincy Magazine as their featured local artist. My drawing of John Wayne will be in there! To get a free subscription, go to www.cincymagazine.com or look for it on newstands.
