Top 6 All-time Favorite Pieces

Alrighty, So I personally think that my work is best when I do it for someone else or when I try to emulate something else.... therefore, I've chosen these six pieces because they meant something to me when I made them, there was a sense of accomplishment attached to each piece. They may not be up to par with Da  Vinci or Milton Glaser, but they are very much a piece of my soul. 


Number 6

Harper was the beginning of a 30 day Monster Girls drawing challenge, so this sketch was the essence of detail, texture and ferocity that I wanted. She was the start of many of my favorite sketches.

Number 5

A cultural twist on an old favorite, this is my version of the Pied Piper, except hes a Guatemalan anteater leading the antlings out of Esquipulas, old town Guatemala.

Number 4

A media sampler combining two unlikely things, can you guess what I picked?

Number 3

Now this work, was one I designed as a two- part gift, originally this was a hand drawn portrait of my best friend, as a panda that I later on turned digital to order as a t-shirt through Busteedtees. He still wears the shirt on a regular basis

Numero Uno

This was the first self portrait I not only loved but enjoyed doing; it was also the first time my curly hair came as an advantage for texture.
