Inking Sweet Pea and Popeye

February 8th, comic show AND Exhibit Reception

 February 8th, 2025 is going to be a busy day for me.

From 10am-3 I'll be set up at the Warren Elks Comic Show in Warren, Michigan, drawing comic book and cartoon characters as well as caricatures, and selling original artwork. HERE is the link to the event page 

At 4pm is the opening reception of my solo art exhibit in Detroit at The Gallery at Brewery Park on Gratiot Ave. A link to the event page is HERE 

All are invited and welcome to both! It's about 25 minutes between venues. I MIGHT be draw free sketches at the exhibit reception!

New exhibit

 I've just been asked to display my "Heroes" series at The Gallery at Brewery Park in Detroit. It will be up the month of February 2025, and the opening reception is Saturday, February 8th at 4pm EST. 

This graphite drawing is one of the pieces in the exhibit, as well as more portraits of Jack Nicholson, and Sammy Hagar (The Red Rocker) , Van Halen, Sergio Aragonés , Popeye and more. 

More info as we get closer to the show.

Public Popeye

 I'm taking a break from working on the Popeye comic, and right now I'm working on a watercolor sketch of...Popeye! With the original version of popeye (which was created in 1929 by E.C. Segar in his comic strip "Thimble Theater") having joined the ranks of public domain, I've been fixated on doing something about that somehow. This is a picture that I am dabbling with of a kind of comic book style/ semi-realistic style of Popeye from 1929.
