An oldie but still one of my favorites – hope you all had a great October and Happy Halloween!
Goodbye WWE!
July 15, 2022
This past Friday I said my goodbyes to WWE. It’s been an amazing place to spend the last (almost) 12 years and I’ve been lucky to work with so many incredible people. Thanks for all the memories!
John Watkiss
June 30, 2022
For the next two weeks I’ll be on vacation with my family in Greece! I have five brothers and sisters so it took some time to coordinate our schedules and plan a trip this size, but it all worked out – yesterday morning, after a nine-hour flight, we landed in Athens. Very exciting! To get … More John Watkiss
Star Wars by Jian Guo
May 31, 2022
I came across this excellent series of Star Wars posters by Chinese artist Jian Guo and thought I’d share them for this month’s blog. I really like his stained-glass design aesthetic and how much of each film’s story he was able to squeeze into each poster. If you’d like to see more of his work, … More Star Wars by Jian Guo
The Batman
April 30, 2022
I hadn’t bothered to keep up with all the superhero movies released the past decade – there got to be so many I missed that I couldn’t understand the storyline when I finally did catch one, so I just shrugged and stopped trying. In the case of Batman specifically, I considered Christopher Nolan’s trilogy the definitive … More The Batman
James White’s WWE Series

It’s WrestleMania Weekend! This Saturday begins WrestleMania 38 in Dallas, TX. The office has been pretty busy the past few weeks (months, really) in preparation for the big day, but every year as we get closer to the show the workload eases up for a bit and I can take a moment to appreciate the … More James White’s WWE Series
Jimi Hendrix
February 28, 2022
Here’s another drawing from my college days, done in graphite pencil. In our illustration class we’d always have some music playing in the background as we drew, especially Jimi Hendrix – there’s no better way to work! This was based on a famous photo of the artist and took several hours to complete. Maybe next … More Jimi Hendrix
Charcoal Drawing
January 29, 2022
“Nude Woman,” charcoal, 2010. This was from the first life drawing session I’d ever had to handle on my own. I arranged the whole setup, from the lighting to sheets to props, and discussed a brief set of poses with the model (all while trying to act natural and pretending like I’d done this a … More Charcoal Drawing
J.C. Leyendecker’s Santa Claus
December 22, 2021
For December’s post I thought I’d share some images of Santa Claus by my favorite illustrator, J.C. Leyendecker. During the Golden Age of Illustration (a period from roughly the late 1800’s – 1950’s) Leyendecker was famous for his prolific advertising campaigns and his work for the Saturday Evening Post. He illustrated 322 covers for the … More J.C. Leyendecker’s Santa Claus
