change of expression















The editors of PSARA had me change his facial expression and grotesque look so he's more of a "smooth operator"... I like both... but its interesting how different of vibes they give off. Just by changing his mouth, really. The first one shows a villain behind the issue as a grotesque animal, the second more of a sneaky, evil, and effective character.

Voter Suppression cartoon

Voter suppression is a huge problem in the US! I hope everyone out there has checked to make sure they are registered to vote, have the proper ID, etc. November is just around the corner!

this cartoon will be featured in PSARA's October issue

pocket tee designs


Two things.

One: For a long time I've wanted to design a t-shirt with a little person popping out of the pocket.  
Two: For a long time my mom and I have been thinking about starting a little business printing t-shirts for various niche markets/groups of people. The first one we picked is the vegan/vegetarian crowd. 
I don't want the message to come off all stuck up how a lot of the vegan t's seem to... so I'm thinking of eliminating the word vegan on the pocket, and just doing a V (that way people can talk about it if someone asks them what it means, otherwise no one feels like they're being advertised to). That's what I tested out in the second image. 

What do you all think??

poker pro sketches


Barry

Ivey

E-Dawg



















































There's an awesome professional poker player/writer who I met a few years back who I'm now starting a collaboration with on some poker cartoons. He has some great ideas, some hilarious ideas, and basically I just need to get to the drawing! Now that my sisters wedding is over and all of that wonderful chaos has settled, I'm gonna focus on cartoons and my Design portfolio for a few weeks. Here's the first few sketches of some pros who he wants included in the cartoons. I figure if I post these  it'll motivate me to get the ball rollin', and they'll start to change from sketches to caricatures.
