I had no idea what I was drawing as I was drawing it. Recently I've done elves, pixies, and nature spirits, and I think this was just a combination of all those. Drawn while at Comic Jam at Pearlridge Center.

From an Addams Family themed drink and draw.

4 generations of Morticia and Gomez and a quick sketch of Wednesday Addams.

And so it begins... Bookmark season. Since 2015 Comic Jam Hawaii has been providing bookmarks for the local libraries and comic book stores for Free Comic Book Day. I usually draw around 50 every year. Getting started a little early.



From Comic Jam Hawaii's Album Cover Art drink and draw. My take on Eddie from Iron Maiden's "The Trooper" album.

She was a five foot six and two fifteen
A bleached-blonde mama with a streak of mean
She knew how to knuckle
And she knew how to scuffle and fight
And the roller derby program said
That she were built like a 'fridgerator with a head
The fans called her "Tuffy"
But all her buddies called her "Spike"

Between Antman coming soon and Thunderbolts in production I had Ghost on my mind, so...

Been in a pirate mood lately but didn't feel like breaking out the watercolors. So it's back to the markers and pencils for this afro-latina pirate.

Part of the ship, part of the crew.

quick sketch at work while waiting on stuff to print out.

ballpoint pen and an acid brush with warm water.

Throwback to 2022. The idea of an Ewok Jedi and Jawa Jedi came up during an episode of The Geek Buddies. So I ran with it.

This is a repost. I wasn't happy with the quality of the scan in the previous post. It didn't do the colors justice. This one looks much close to the actual piece.

Galactus portrait. Sort of a progress check putting to use some of the watercolor stuff I've learned so far.

A few more pixies added to my inventory. The lighter one was done sitting at the local mall food court, the darker one was done at home. Both are "overworked" and suffered paper pilling from too much water (it's multi-media paper not watercolor paper). I have more supplies at home so I think I did decent job fixing the darker one. I still like them both, but I see the overworking and the attempted fixes. Every piece teaches me something.

Jan 11 was artist/writer, Sam Kieth's birthday. celebrated it was a drink & draw doing Kieth inspired sketches. Here are mine. Happy Birthday Sam Kieth.

First event of 2023 down; Hawaii Pop Con. It was their first time doing this tabletop card game centric con in Hawaii. While attendance was lower than expected it does have a lot of promise, especially if you're a card gamer/trader. My friend, Jon J. Murakami and I shared a booth and we were doing free sketch cards for the keiki (kids). I did a total of 40 cards (missing pics on 2).

Way old throwback: Peter Jackson Kong. Painted in a now defunct FB app called Graffiti. The only brush options were size, opacity, and color. But I enjoyed the app because it recorded the process in Flash (SWF) format. Unfortunately this is the only one I recorded and the rest are lost to time.

TBT Zombie Black Widow done Halloween 2022. A foray into a.i., but used to create the reference image and not the end product.

Annotated replay (about 4 mins).

This is the last annotated replay I made. They're more work, and even at 4 minutes they're too long to keep people's attention.

CW: depiction of a zombified person... and I guess eye contact (that's a new CW to me).
