Dragons Love Donuts

I'd probably have a pet dragon too if I could not eat all the donuts myself.

V-Day

Finished the inks for a print to be released in the near future just in time for Valentines Day! Mortal enemies hugging? I assure you I drew no inspiration from my dating career for this piece. Not one bit.

The Warm Glow Of Family

Holding Babies, watching TV, and pro wrestling. Draw what you know I suppose. Stay tuned for a color version in the near future.

Art Nerd Toughness

Skulls are tough, painting is tougher. Id get this tattooed if there weren't so many tiny lines...Or if I was tougher.

Calling A Big Ol' Soft Spot

With Valentines Day around the corner, it was a good time to celebrate my love...of wrestling. If you've been following my Instagram, you know how just how often a masked gentleman will make an appearance.  I'll take a wrestler over a superhero most days, but it might be because I don't own any capes. 

Since Valentines Day is right around the corner, I've released this as a print and a sticker in case you've got a special wrestling nerd/mask enthusiast in your life. Stay cool out there, friends.

We're Okay

This week it's an actual Rust Belt Monster Collective. I'm a huge fan of being proud of where you're from, but this is more my speed. Cleveland's great, I guess. 

2014 was the year I embraced this style fully, after flirting with it for a long time. Sometimes on this very blog.  I've got no intention of stopping anytime soon, so better get used to it. 

I made these fellas stickers too, click here to make your okay bumper a bit more okay.

Jersey Shore: Super Mario

Happy New Year Rust Belters! If you've been following me on Instagram, you might've noticed that I ended 2014 with a flurry of posts. However, if you're only following me here, you'd think that I'm a lazy so and so because its been sparse at best. So, 2015 is all about keeping a schedule. You'll see something from me every single Friday.

You're worth it. Also, you look nice today.

Hot!

I do tight pencils, and I'm always sad to see them go once I finish a piece in Illustrator, this is the first attempt at blending those two worlds.  I dunno about you, but I think they go together like peanut butter and jelly, so you'll probably see some more stuff like this. In the meantime I'll keep mixing up peanut butter and jelly inside my tummy.

Go Home! You Can't Stay Here

While framing this print for the Drawn And Quartered gallery show this weekend, I realized that I never shared it with my rusty buddies.  I hope you guys never go home, stay as long as you like!  It was originally drawn for Cleveland Exotic Dance's winter soiree last year, which I could pretend is the reason I drew a giant naked lady, but you'd never believe that.
