I love to draw with blue and black pencils. Creating art is a learning process and making sketches like these is a great way to study.

You may not recognize this face, but you have probably seen his artwork. His illustrations were a reflection of American culture. This is my sketch of painter/illustrator Norman Rockwell.

It was on this date in 1895 that George Herman “Babe” Ruth was born. It was my honor to get to illustrate him for this Topps baseball card. #baberuth #baseball #baseballcards #halloffame #yankees #topps #toppsbaseball

On October 26, 1881, a gunfight near the O.K. Corral in Tombstone, Arizona made history. This is my illustration, drawn from photos of the four law men involved.
