I Would Die For You.

Recently made this Prince portrait on procreate and I am IN LOVE with it. I was inspired by sno-cones and superman ice cream. I basically wanted it to be this really fun, bright, dream-like piece of art. Included is Prince's symbol. You can buy a print of it over on my etsy. Just click HERE and it'll take you right there! Prince forever.

BEETLEJUICE! BEETLEJUICE! BEETLEJUICE!

I've kicked off a Beetlejuice mini collection with some postcards I've made! I painted both designs for the front and wanted to focus on the settings as opposed to the usual iconic imagery you think of when you hear Beetlejuice. Light played a huge part in both pieces. Matt designed the back, but I wrote out the back words and drew that lil Sandworm down the middle. You can pick these up from my etsy by clicking HERE! Branding/promotional display all done by the graphic design wizard that is Matt Benyo!

Tom Hanks Trading Cards.

Matt Benyo and I recently collaborated to create something super unique: Tom Hanks trading cards! It's art in the style of trading cards (because they don't have backs). We made little packs of them and it was the most ambitious and collaborative thing we have ever done. Matt was responsible for the graphic design/lay out and design/printing. It was awesome. You can see all of the cards here and the pack (Matt Benyo also designed the header). Trading cards are going to be the newest thing I do. So, strap in, cause it's going to be an awesome ride.

Tom Hanks / Woody.

Created this Woody from Toy Story mash up with Tom Hanks! I had a lot of fun doing this. I feel like it's really illustrative. I'm still trying to figure out the whole digital thing, but this is something I'm proud of.

Yungblud.

Never knew who Yungblud was before recently, but I made this mini painted portrait of him from his music video, Strawberry Lipstick, and I'm told this is my best mini portrait. I had a lot of fun with it. I feel like I'm learning more each time I make something. It's never conscious, but after stepping away, I can see it.

Lafayette & Jefferson.

A friend of mine asked me if I could paint a Lafayette and Jefferson piece with both characters on the same board. I was excited to jump to the opportunity. Daveed Diggs really tears it up in Hamilton. I love his portrayal of both characters and to have them facing off was awesome. I also did a solid gold background by request. That's about 8+ coats to get it super gold!

Home Sweet Home.

In a style similar to the Hobbit Holes that I did on procreate, I am now exploring other places and homes. This is a home of a friend called The Burrow. She asked that Floyd the Flamingo be present and I wanted to focus on making it warm and inviting; especially with the warm light.

Elvis Presley.

Did this Elvis portrait recently. Still messing with the messy painting and adding colors that aren't there. I wanted to take some creative chances with this and I like how things turned out! Size is 4x6 inches. I grew up listening to Elvis because it was a staple in our house. My mom loves him.

Number Seven.

Did this high contrast painted portrait of Ellen Page as Vanya Hargreeves (Number Seven) from Umbrella Academy as she transitions into the White Violin. This is from the finale of the first season. I'm really excited for the second season! We've just started it and it's fun so far. Excited to see where they go with it.
