Extremely honored to have been asked by @Blizzard & the team at @PlayOverwatch to do an illustration for their Anniversary event! This was in celebration of their latest #Archives mission- Storm Rising, located in the new, beautiful Havana map. As a huge fan of #Overwatch and the company, I’m so excited to have been able to work on this & share it with you now! 

✨‍♀️✨

I’m very excited to announce that I now have my official Avatar: The Last Airbender artist proofs available for sale in my online shop!

Excited to announce my first card illustration “Embrace Death” for @FantasyFlightGames’ #LegendOfTheFiveRings. I had a blast working on it, and am shocked to have L5R fans already welcoming me after it’s announcement on FFG’s website! Please let me know if you ever see this in the wild!

“B.O.B.! BREW SOMETHING!!!” The next heroine in my #Overwatch #DrinkAndDraw series- none other than #Ashe. Fittingly, it felt like a big gang of folks had gathered to drink tasty draft beers at #UnsungBrewing and #ArtSchoolCollective ‘s event this past weekend! Catch ya’ll at the next one!

The pressure finally got to me! Even with how hectic it’s been, I had to find a way to participate in @jakeparker ‘s #Inktober this month. Here’s (yesterday’s) Day 17: Swollen.

#TokoyamiFumikage from #MyHeroAcademia . One of my students had medical complications that prevented them from being able to continue in my class. The rest of the students and I drew her favorite character in hopes to make her day brighter.

Finally had the time to make it to #ArtSchoolCollective ‘s latest #DrinkAndDraw tonight! The drinks, friends, and company were good for what ails me. #AnaAmari just felt right to be the next hero in my #Overwatch series. Cheers!

Here’s that #HarleyQuinn drawing all fun and done! Like I said, really like both the old school and cinematic look of Harley, so I decided to meld both in this sketch! Which version of Harley Quinn is your personal favorite?

Happy Friday, folks! I just had an incredible time visiting the new #Nickelodeon building. There are so many talented creatives in the studio just doing some truly amazing stuff! Thanks Carl, for a great tour and a tasty lunch!

I had a blast at #AnimeExpo this year! Got to meet so many new fans and friends this past weekend. I’m so humbled by the amount of support I get from you all. I can’t wait to see you again next year! And those of you who cosplay… keep blowing my mind with your amazing skills and passion! I wish I got to take more photos. Cheers!

“We’re in the endgame now.” Ohh boy, I feel like I can finally post up #InfinityWar related stuff without feeling like a jerk. How cool was #DoctorStrange and his never before seen powers? This cropped drawing started as a class demo, but I may revisit it later this year. Can’t wait for the next #Avengers movie!

#FlashbackFriday to when I did this #sketch before realizing I wanted to do a bigger piece for one of my favorite and inspirational films of all time.

“I just feel you.” Saw #InifinityWar the other day for a second time. It was even better this time around (I wasn’t as overwhelmed with trying to take in everything new on the screen and could focus on the filmmaking itself). Here’s a crop of #Vision that I did back when the second #Avengers film came out. Maybe I can recycle some parts of this for a new piece…

Another sketch I did for my students for all the hard work and dedication they put into the term. I don’t get to watch a lot of anime these days, but #MyHeroAcademia hits all the right shonen tropes that it’s got me finding time to watch it.

Another sketch request I did for some of my students to celebrate their hard work and dedication this term. Does anyone remember #YuYuHakasho? I just had a flashback of watching Toonami at night as a kid.
