May 9, 2012 Flash!

If you look through my portfolio and posts you would probably assume I’m a huge Bruins fan and you’d be 100% correct. Though our season ended earlier then i would have liked this year, I made this in honor of the best game on Earth. For the Love of Hockey and the love of Tattoos!

March 26, 2012 Green Monstah’

I painted this around Christmas for a gift swap in my office.  After i had so much fun painting the Bruins Bear i figured i’d stay with my love of Boston sports and do my own take on the Green Monster. He’s done in acrylic and ink on Masonite and measures about 8×10 inches. He’s [...]

January 19, 2012 Base layers

I’ve been having this problem at work recently where i will sit down to draw something for our custom printers and inevitably it will turn into some form of the Devil.  Seeing as we can’t use the devil or any controversial icon for the printers, I can no longer use the image for work and [...]

July 20, 2011 3 little monsters

I had drawn these guys a few months back but never got a chance to scan them.  These started out as paint studies but later i went back into them with colored pencil to give them some detail.  Each one measures about 8×10 and you can come see them in person at Lorem Ipsum Books [...]

April 26, 2011 Restorative Arts

Restoration is something I have never done, so when i was asked to try my hand at the restoration of a beloved statue for a bar downtown, I was apprehensive to say the least.  The Green Dragon Tavern in downtown Boston was a second home for me through the months of working as a bike [...]
