Hi Guys, If you hadn't heard from my social media, I had to postpone my Inktober comic series due to a family tragedy. I intend to finish them in the next coming weeks, so keep checking back! Thanks for all of your support!

Okay, so I'm behind.

Guys it's my favorite time of year!!! Inktober! Every day for Inktober I'm going to post an adorable Halloween-themed comic. ENJOY.

GUESS WHAT! I'm giving away tickets and gift packages to see Lionsgate's new film Sicario! If you're in the LA area, please comment here or on any of my social media to enter. The screening will be on Sept. 15 (next Tuesday!) and I will be choosing two winners this weekend. In addition to the gift pack, you will also receive this original artwork of Emily Blunt by me!

Today's sketchbook doodle is Led Zep inspired! Yes there are two paths you can go by, but in the long run... There's still time to change the road you're on.

 Here's a sketch of American Ultra's awesome movie poster! Because I'm giving away more free stuff! If you're in the LA area, you can win 4 tickets to see it early on August 18th, a prize pack with shirts, posters, branded mints, a hemp bag, and of course one of these sketches by me! Comment to enter! I will be choosing two winners this week!

I forgot to post this. This was my warmup for the first week of July. Everything I wore week 1!

I'm going to try to post these every week. Life drawing is soooo helpful, even though it's super hard. Go to a coffee shop and draw people. They will move and wreck your poses, but that's what makes it challenging. And if they notice you're staring at them, draw that too!

So you know how I love to give you guys free stuff?! I'm giving tix away for a Shaun The Sheep advanced screening in LA on 8/1! I'll be choosing 2 winners to receive these cute toys, an original Shaun the Sheep painting by me, a Shaun the Sheep goodie bag, and 4 free passes to attend the screening! To enter, all you have to do is comment below or on any of my social media! The screening IS in Los Angeles, so you have to be able to attend the screening here! Good luck! Painting #1! Painting #2!

If my emotions were like Inside Out, this is what they'd be.

When I was little, I had an imaginary friend named Laser. He was a dragon. Obviously. I'm also testing out Kyle Webster's new cross-hatching brushes. They are so awesome! Get them here: http://www.kyletwebster.com/

Hope you fellow vampires remember your SPF 100! Happy Summer!

When I was a kid, I moved a lot. I would get really nervous before starting at a new school, so I would pretend to be Joan Jett to build my confidence. She's a rock star who started her first punk rock band in her teens. I'd wear my black leather jacket and listen to her songs right before I walked in. I'd have issues with being rebellious but I definitely wasn't nervous anymore. I can never thank her enough for that.

I'm redrawing my own Disney posters for a contest. Hope you like them! Alice in Wonderland

I love when it rains! So I feel obligated to do another rainy day sketch.

Happy Star Wars Day from Boba Fett!

In honor of Earth Day, I decided to do a post about the world's most majestic creature: the English Bulldog. Here are some fun facts about bulldogs! (Spoiler alert: they basically don't even count as dogs.) 1) They can't breathe.      Bullies faces are so squished that they can't breathe very well. A lot of them (Matilda) even get nose jobs to try to help them breathe better! 2) They can't run.      This is a can't-breathe-plus-fat problem. Bulldogs are not runners. They can sprint a bit here and there but chances are your bulldog will act like he/she is dying after walking down the block. 3) They can't swim.      Bullies are too heavy for their short legs to swim. In fact, they haven't been able to swim in so long that most don't even have the instinct. Once, I held Matilda in a pool with her life jacket on to see if she would try to swim, in case she accidentally fell in water. What did she do? Just sat there and splashe...

I drew a little Haunted House story based on Alice Cooper's This House is Haunted. Enjoy it! I was sitting in my room, dark and gray and crying Someone in my life I fear was at the point of dying A cold wind blew right up my spine, it was the break of dawn A little voice way deep inside told me she was gone Oh... This house is haunted Oh... That`s how I want it to be Oh... This house is haunted You can always stay here with me... No more singing, no more laughing, no more sunny days She left and took the colors with her, buried in her grave This is where we climbed the tower, this is where she fell Then when her young heart stopped beating, I went to hell Oh... This house is haunted Oh... Ha.... Oh... This house is haunted Ho.. . Oh... You float through the lining room, I watch my TV I feel you sit down on the couch right here next to me Then I feel you lips touch mine just like we used to do I`m so happy all al...
