Anonymous asked: I've been going through your blog's archives and I look at one picture and think "the movement in this piece makes me think of Jules Fieffer a bit." Then I scroll down and see Phantom Tollbooth fanart! Brilliant! Thanks for sharing your art, it makes me want to pick up a pen and get to it.

Anonymous asked: Your work is astounding, thank you so much for sharing it all & for answering our questions, you're a huge inspiration! If you don't mind me asking, how often do you draw & what are your main sources of inspiration? I need to read more of Mr. Stanchfield's books, he's wonderful. Thank you!

My Old Blog
So I was entering my account name into blogspot and I entered my old account/email and I forgot about my original blog. So here is a link to my very first blog, it has the work of what I was doing when I was 15 http://www.sketchds.blogspot.com/.
It definately brings back memories…
40's and 50's
So I had fun with the 80’s designs, now I’m going to move on to another one of my favorite era’s, the 40’s and 50’s. I figured that studying the fashion will help inform my design sense in some way, stay tuned! Also thank you all for your nice comments, I really appreciate them!
Anonymous asked: I totally see Al Hirschfeld and Milt Kahl in your art, but you have an approach all your own! It's amazing to see this in someone so young! Keep it up!

Anonymous asked: Is it more important to have one unique style or being able to adapt to a lot of different styles? Also, have you seen anyone work in your style yet and how would you react if artists were to completely use your style for their artwork?
Anonymous asked: For doing what you want to do, do you think it would be important to learn other skills such as perspective, rendering or background painting? And what are some places you would like to work besides Disney or Pixar?
Anonymous asked: You are so so skilled. When you did your internship did they give you your own assignment or did you work on development right away? If they gave you your own assignment could you post them?

Anonymous asked: Hey dude! Glad to see you are back on tumblr. I have a favour, could you help me out a bit. I am a young guy that want to do good and draw everyday and sadly I wish I had the drive it seems you have to say that God put you here to draw. I bought "drawn to life" vol1 and I am wondering how do I APPLY what is in the book? Do I read the whole book first or will it just come to me? Thank...
