Pursue what is True

Probably the best decision I ever made. :)

Dear God,

... please convince my parents to let me have a cat for Christmas this year. I promise I'll take care of it and make sure it will always be fed and feel loved. Thank you. Amen. :)

Family Caricature

Last week I was fortunate to have the opportunity to draw caricatures at my church's block party to celebrate the new school year. It was a great way to meet people in our community and hopefully make us known to those who might be looking for a church home or a place to grow in faith. I drew caricatures professionally at theme parks for about five years before doing design work for embroidery full time. One of the things I loved most about drawing caricatures live was the interaction with a customer and getting a nice hearty hand shake or giant smile from someone who absolutely loved the piece of art you did for them and the experience they had!  :)

The caricature above is a portrait of my wife and I and our cat, Stimpy.

Thank you for stopping by. :)

Sometimes I forget...

...how small we really are.

Thank you for stopping by and checking out my art! I really do appreciate it. :)

A Good Night Sleep

I love a good night's rest. Sometimes it doesn't happen but when it does, I do my best to remember to be grateful! :)

Summers at the Lake

Penny: "Hey, wait up!"

Parker: "Cannonball!"

Let's go for a walk!

Inspired by Pascal Campion's daily sketches, I decided to do a (future family) quick sketch of Heidi and I. Pascal's work inspires me to tell stories with art and I love how he focuses a lot of his work around his family. What a great way to also show love and pursue your spouse in the process. Heidi loves it when I make these kind of pictures and I can't wait to do more! :) 

Love/Inspiration Doodles

My wife is awesome! To help me get out the door in the mornings, she packs my lunch and slips a post-it note doodle in the bag with me to find when I get to work. I love them and keep them next to my drawing table for inspiration.

I love being married. :)

Batman Head Sketch

I was really excited to draw this on the way to work this morning. It feels so good to do a drawing for yourself now and then. What an awesome time in history to be alive were we have the technology to immediately share our art with the world, so conveniently and so easily! Thank you for stopping by! :)

More X-Men Fan Art

Drawing/designing some more of my favorite childhood heroes! The new characters are Archangel (blue), Colossus (orange) and Storm (purple). Thank you for stopping by and checking out my art. These were super fun to sketch up and a lot of fun to make.
