I've decided to put my art and podcast on Patreon. Everything I post will be free, but there will be a $5 subscription if anyone would like to support my artwork.

I'll be adding things like sketchbook images, first change purchases on prints, and maybe some other perks for members, but my goal is for the Patreon page to be really free and only have people become members if they want to support what I do :)

Thanks everyone! Hope to see you at an art market soon!

Episode 1 of my new podcast, Defining Shots just dropped! I hope you enjoy learning about the scenes behind the art. In this episode, we break down Alice in Wonderland (1951), why I drew it, and what made me decide this was the Defining Shot.

Quite proud of this commission. Godzilla Minus One is a masterpiece. It is a story about a country recovering from war, and a story about a man fighting PTSD, survivors remourse, and his own personal shame. If you are a veteran or have your own personal demons in your life, I cannot reccommend Godzilla Minus One enough. It lives up to the hype and then some.
