As a special “thank you” to subscribers of my monthly newsletter, I ran a contest for a free digital commission last month.  Billie, one of our longtime supporters and friends, was the winner and requested his favorite character, Ahsoka Tano.  This was the first time I’ve drawn her.  As a longtime fan of Clone Wars, Rebels, and now Mandalorian, it was great fun to try to depict her in my style (drawing mostly on the live action version).

I will be running another giveaway in my next newsletter, so now would be a great time to sign up, if you haven’t already!  It’s kind of a digest of everything I have been working on for the last month, plus some studio updates and recommendations of awesome stuff.

My family and I just got back from a mini-vacation to New Orleans.  It was our first time experiencing the amazing food, music, and history of the place.  Luckily, I found a few moments to sketch.  First (above) at the wonderful Cafe Beignet while we feasted on the namesake dish and listened to the wonderful jazz trio.  And also (below) as we waited for a yummy breakfast on our last day there.

So, we are on week two of snow days (or “virtual learning days due to inclement weather”) in our area.  My daughter and I decided to use some of the free time to challenge each other with another round of the Six Fan Arts challenge.  Above you can see my drawings of the six characters she gave me, and below are the six I had her draw.  I especially enjoyed drawing Mebh (from the Wolfwalkers animated film that just came out on Apple+) and Snag (from the Long Gone Gulch animated pilot… a really fun cartoon she introduced me to).  But the best thing is seeing her draw some of our favorite characters in her style!  It’s great having such a creative daughter.
