For those of you that use Vine. This is one of my favorite viners. His name is Greg Cleaveland. He asked me to do a drawing of him so I decided to draw him with his two beautiful little girls.
A friend of mine is getting ready for her Handfasting. For those that don't know, handfasting is an ancient celtic ritual for marriage. She and her husband are renewing their vows, and she wanted me to do her wedding invites. She wanted it slightly steampunk with a few gothic vibes to go along with it.
My dear friend Nancy started her own clothing line called Lilly Hazel and she requested that I design her logo. I have to say this was one of my favorites this year.
A gentleman wanted to surprise his girlfriend with a portrait of them with their fine four legged friend here. He later told me, she loved it.
This one and the one below broke my heart. This gentleman, I didn't have the pleasure of knowing. But hearing stories from his friends and family, it sounded like he was a pretty awesome guy. I was commissioned to do his portrait for his wife as a gift. Later I was sent a video of his wife opening the gift and her reaction made me smile and cry all at the same time. She was so happy.
This gentleman is David Ratliff. He was a dear friend of my family and many families around our neighborhood. He was what you would consider a reliable shadetree mechanic. Everyone in town sent their vehicles to this man because he could fix a car better than any dealership. He passed away a few days after Thanksgiving from complications with his cancer. Rest in peace Mr. Ratliff.
This goofball is my little brother. Enough said.
A new friend wanted a portrait of his wife with her late father.
This one was fun too. I love drawing kids. They are so expressive and it's always a challenge to get the proportions in their little faces just right.
Alright. Now for the fun stuff.
I don't have a clue as to why I drew her as an elf. I just wanted to do anatomy practice and it came out as a steampunk elf. Weird.
A mermaid I did for a youtube video I put out a few months ago. I was supposed to be a 30 day sketchbook challenge, but you see how I've done with challenges so far. I've really got to stop doing this to myself.
More mermaids. You can never go wrong with more mermaids. Unless they're the ones from ancient myth. Those bitches were scary.
a little girl walking in the rain because she doesn't own a car.
More freaking mermaids. What the hell is up with these mermaids?!
Oh yeah! My kids have their own youtube channel now. We don't have game night, we have youtube night. And I wouldn't change that for the world.
Here is the link to their channel.

My two best friends are probably the coolest and goofiest people I know. So I decided to join in their insanity. Look closely at their faces, you will see the evidence of their unhinged minds.
And another of my little brother. Because.....well just because I love torturing him.
Finally something other than a freaking mermaid!
And there you have it. Art art and more art. So. Yeah.
What should we do now?
I'm hungry. I think I'll open a can of spaghetti o's.
Why are you still here? It's over. Go home.
Oh and come back later for more.
