A Work In Progress! Never Give Up On Your Dreams!

This month is my 3 year illustration 'dream' anniversary so I thought I'd show you how far I've come. They say 'a picture is worth a thousand words' so here is the one that started it all.


On a balmy night in June 2010 I dug out an old sketchbook, Sharpie pen and Prismacolor markers that, surprisingly, still worked 17 years after their last use in college.
I haven't been able to stop drawing since...
My style has evolved - A LOT.
But I still look upon this sketch with a great deal of love, for in it there was a tremendous amount of joy, humor, selflessness & abandon!

So here is how I've progressed...



Amazing what practice, patience and persistence can do...along with a whole lotta vision, faith and desire.
The dream is still progressing, bigger goals still need to be reached...
don't stop climbing.
But every once in awhile take a look down & see how far you've come!!!
