My Progress: Video 3

On researching outdoorsy physical challenges to put myself through, I discovered a 5k that was happening basically right next door. It started at the Jr High School track, went to the base of Pilot Butte, up the Butte, and back down through the trail system to return to the track. My goals were modest, and [...]

Portrait special order: James Powell of Mars

More donations in! This one made me earn it, big time. I knew before I started this process that it would be common for commissions to come in that didn’t fit the cookie cutter $35 and $50 portraits. For more specific requests, I will work out with the person wanting the custom job, a custom [...]

Drawing Edward Cullen

Well my schedule was light earlier this week, but is about to pick up. In the meantime, I found what I thought was a really decent picture of Robert Pattinson and drew up Edward Cullen.

UPDATE! I was able to make this a time lapse, that is generally much easier to watch than the entire process [...]

The Kickoff Portrait

Last week I kicked things off extremely well, with two great donations, requiring one portrait be done. Probably not mind blowing by better known internet personalities I suppose, but considering I relaunched my site from scratch to kick off this project (This site had been a pretty useless pseudo-portfolio/blog for years now) I consider the [...]

My First Workout

So I went up Pilot Butte the other day. Here’s how that went…

Not exactly a shining moment for me, but there needs to be many more of these before I will feel ready for Tough Guy. I wore a garmin device, and the readout when I came back was bleak. Below is the chart, with [...]

Getting Drawn – You, Illustrated

As part of raising money for Free Arts NYC and running the Tough Guy Race in January, I’m offering my artistic services for anyone who donates over $35.
- 35$ or more gets you one head and shoulders portrait, with a simple background.

- 50$ or more gets you two head and shoulder portraits, OR one full [...]

My Worst Idea Ever

I’ve had some good ideas in my life, and some bad ones. Most recently, a VERY bad one.
Years ago, I discovered the Tough Guy race held in the UK every winter. It was amazing to imagine such a thing existed, eight country miles of what the organizers call “…the worlds safest most dangerous taste of [...]
