Drawlloween! Part One

October is the month in which Drawlloween happens. Artists follow a list of things to draw everyday for the entire month of October. Although there are officially two more days left until October ends I wanted to share some of the drawings. Here are the first five I made. I joined in late and put devil, ghost, goblin together to catch up. Enjoy!

Devil • Ghost • Goblin

Here They Are!

I will be participating in a show on November 17th at Swoon Gallery in Newport Coast California. The show is called Get the Lead Out VII. It's by appointment only, so if you're interested in attending contact swoongallery.com

I am so excited to show you the pieces that I made! I hope you like them.


The ghostbats represent fear. If you allow fear to take over, it can rule your world. The first piece is when my fears were so big, it felt like they were constantly chasing me. The more I was afraid, the bigger they got.

The ghostbat has gotten so big, that you could allow it to kill you, if you're not careful. In other words, you can end up with fear your entire life and allow it to become a normal presence.

This piece is about finding that oasis where you can rest, although you know the ghostbats are still there.

This one is about embracing your fears instead of running away from them, when you really look at them and feel the pain and anxiety, they subside and you can be free of them.

Thanks for stopping by!

Craziness in the Studio

Things have been crazy for the past few weeks. I've had to bring my boys into the studio to get stuff done. Lots of work to do, but it's been exciting!

Bubbles and YouTube

Some "fuel" for creativity

Three large wooden panels in the process of being blocked in. 

Chaos on the table. Help!
