Drawn to Billie Eilish's ocean eyes, no less.

A character I created back around Christmas 2019: a young musician, co-founder of duo Black Moon with her best friend, and writer, both of song lyrics and prose.

One entry into my very own drawing challenge back in June: the prompt was Metallica's song, Sweet Amber!

Another one from my drawing challenge, this time with Hole's song Petals, and featuring another OC, an artist named Holly, who's trying to find her place in the world following the pandemic.

"May the Fourth be with you" of course I had to do a rendition of Rey for that day!

I drew this past Sunday, mere hours after my cat died, a beautiful Siamese named Joey. I miss him so much.

Another entry into the drawing challenge, this time using Opeth's song The Devil's Orchard!

the whole time I drew this one, I thought of "The Homer" (Herb Simpson's failed experiment courtesy of Homer); it's the mermaid of tomorrow.

ah, yes, my current obsession! Anthrax is such characters and absolutely incredible musicians, it actually stuns me that they don't get more love. Bassist Frankie (left) and drummer Charlie (right) often fight like brothers, so here I emulated that!

Easily one of my favorites I've done, based on both memory as well as the era surrounding their album State of Euphoria. When I was little, my grandparents took my cousin and me to a waterpark called Oasis down in Palm Springs, and I remember my grandpa referring to me as "the lazy river kid" because I kept getting on this floaty ride that wound its way through the park. To add to it, this was as much of a study in water as anything. I have kind of a crush on Joey, who has his head over the edge so as to wet his hair, in particular, so of course, I put my heart into this one!

A little play on the almighty King Lion and a study in negative space.

One of ten drawings I did to go in sync with Anthrax's album Persistence of Time, which turns 30 in 2020, and the only red one (the other ones have black backgrounds.) This one's my favorite because most of my protagonists are brunettes, and she has a bit of a pin-up vibe to her, and I like pin-up style.

I drew this on Blackout Tuesday; on the morning of, I awoke to the sound of ravens cawing outside my window and I almost immediately thought of Blackbird. I saw it as a sign if you will.

Another Blackout Tuesday drawing, this time of my queen Rihanna!

I discovered Soundgarden in 2005, and Audioslave in 2007, the former of which has been my favorite band since then. Chris was like a friend to me: if it wasn't for him, I probably wouldn't be writing this right now. I sent him an ink cartoon of him via tweet for his 50th birthday just on a whim and he shared it with everyone a week later. It was because of him I didn't give up. I've had the original pencil sketch saved for almost two years now: you all are lucky, too, I haven't shared this anywhere else yet!

I pretty much grew up with Mythbusters: I watched them all the time when I was in school and he was probably my favorite of the three interns Adam and Jamie had with them. See you back at the shop, Grant xo.

Another entry in a drawing challenge! this time for Pretty Girls Do Ugly Things back in March, hosted by the amazing Carla Harvey of Butcher Babies; the prompt was Hairspray Queen from Nirvana, and since it was the eve of April 5th, I gave her some chains in honor of Layne Staley, too.

As of my writing this, I've been taking my time with one of those "draw this in your style" challenges, where I scrounged up 19 cartoon characters and decided to, you guessed it, draw them in my style; here's just a taste with probably my favorite character from Steven Universe no less.
