This is my private sketchbook.

Like any sketchbook, I jot down ideas, draw stuff, clip things, and explore.

This is a peek inside my brain. And I’m sharing it publicly.

Fallback Gestures

I'm cracking down on my daily habits. I stopped tracking the irrelevant ones and started being more militant about the ones that matter to me. Drawing is one of those.

Unfortunately, I didn't FEEL like drawing today. But I decided to draw, anyway. Because that's what you do when you commit to something.

The Moth

I finished this tattoo yesterday. I expect it to need a minor touch-up because I pushed her skin a little beyond its threshold. Very happy with the final results, though.

My first full sheet of commissioned heads for the challenge.

There are quite a few diverse heads in the submissions, but I live in a very rural, Caucasian area. I'll skip around and draw some other ethnically diverse portraits between the commissions. Some of the people who submitted a photo won't get their free portrait.

More Heads

I did a thing and posted the challenge I was doing on Facebook. I needed 80 more references, and thought I'd do something nice for the people on my friends list. 100+ responses later (plus messages) and I think I have enough. ๐Ÿ˜‚

Roll the Dice

A poem by Charles Bukowski

"if youโ€™re going to try,
go all the way.
there is no other feeling like
that.
you will be alone with the
gods
and the nights will flame with
fire."

5-10% Time

"Work" sucks about 90-95% of the time, but that 5-10% that I get to do the stuff I love...well...that's worth it.

I don't love marketing. I don't love studying fundamentals all the time. I don't love super-long hours on flash days.

But I love making art for a living. It's worth the "work" that I do so I can have fun doing what I love.

More Heads

Switching to digital is actually making these sketches take LONGER; because I'm able to correct more mistakes. ๐Ÿ˜‚

What Josh is Doing Now

Let’s Create a Better World.

I had a f&*ked up childhood — destructive, you could say.ย 

What’s the opposite of destruction? Creation.

So, I do everything I can to make the world a more creative place. For artists, for my kids, for the future. Let’s create a better world. Together.
