This was a study in rendering leather for an upcoming concept piece I’m working on.

I will be showcasing my work (old & new) at Lethbridge’s brand-spanking-new tattoo parlor owned and run by my friend Brendan Browne. Brendan is an incredible tattooist and I’m honored to be chosen as the first feature artist on the wall in the new shop so make sure you go check it out for yourselves.

The parlor is called Nectar and will feature a collection of artists over the coming months. Anybody that wants a wicked tattoo this guy is making a reputation for himself like crazy down there so get on the waiting list!

If you’d like to buy a framed piece or an original (charcoal or watercolor) that I’ve done make sure to check out his new space. As soon as it all goes live I will make sure to post more info.

“I have this disease late at night sometimes, involving alcohol and the telephone. I get drunk, and I drive my wife away with breath like mustard gas and roses. And then, speaking gravely and elegantly into the telephone, I ask the telephone operators to connect me with this friend or that one, from whom I have not heard in years.”

Commissioned illustration for my friend Devin. This piece was made using ink and watercolor.

This is the original illustration made for Eleanor. She won the draw and wanted a piece done for her daughter - Wren. Wren is pretty freaking adorable so I wanted to make something to match her spark. I’m looking forward to seeing this piece hanging in her room in the near future.

This is Wren.
