Just wanted to inform you all that the class I’m teaching on how to make cartoon characters is coming up very soon on the 11th. If you want to sign up for it, click here. There is not a whole lot of time left. In the meantime for some other content, I’ve uploaded a new image to the Miscellaneous section of the Portfolio tab, plus these pictures I took last Friday at an art show at the Racine Arts Council.
Hey there, anyone looking at this. I’m hosting a class on how to create a cartoon character. It’s $20 per person, and it’s limited to 10 people, so check out the link below for more info.
Last Friday, I went to the Inspired Art auction at the Wherehouse on Water Street in Milwaukee. The event was sponsored by AmericaSCORES Milwaukee, a local non-profit group. Here are just a few pictures from the event:

I went to the Drink & Draw October event at Frank’s Power Plant in Milwaukee on October 12th. Because it is primarily a drawing event, I’ve dedicated the rest of this post to the things I drew there. Enjoy.
Last Saturday was the first Artwalk I had been some sort of part of since I took a trip to Los Angeles back in July. Unlike that Artwalk, however, this one didn’t turn into a riot.
In all seriousness, though, I had a good time at the event, despite only selling one comic and not staying the whole time due to weather. It was very cool and windy because it was right next to the just-completed Wisconsin Ave. bridge, and later on it started to rain. Despite this, I made my presence known, and I got a few photos from the event as well.
I’m going to have a table at this event, selling my comics, making some sketches, and just chatting up everyone. Feel free to take a look at the details provided below.

I visited the Drink and Draw event at Frank’s Power Plant last Friday. It was a good opportunity to meet new people and make connections, as well as draw to our heart’s content. While there, I showed off my portfolio as well as “Drannik & Lizzep” to several different people. Many of them compared my stuff to “Scott Pilgrim” as well as to Skottie Young, another comic book artist whose work I’ve checked out. A good example of his art can be found here.
Photos from the event can be found on the Drink & Draw Milwaukee Facebook page, specifically here.
Although I have no photos of the event myself, I do have sketches that I did while I was there:
I’m entering some work into the following art shows. Please be sure to check out the following sites for more information:

I’m also planning on sending issues of Drannik & Lizzep to Meltdown Inc. in Los Angeles, CA.
Taken directly from the Milwaukee Animation Group’s website:

We’ll meet at the Majestic Cinema between 1pm and 3pm (exact show time to be announced).
So, if you want to come with to see this movie, stop on by.
In unrelated news, I’ve updated the books section, plus added some more stuff to the portfolio.
