Been meaning to draw this for awhile. She’s wearing her dissent collar. She looks cross because she’s dissenting. (Also, because I had dental work done and it suits my mood.)

Here’s an illustration of Deputy US Marshal Bass Reeves riding out of Fort Smith, Arkansas with a warrant in hand. Bass Reeves was the first black Deputy US Marshal west of the Mississippi. He is thought to be the real-life inspiration for The Lone Ranger. He did not have an Indian sidekick named Tonto (which is offensive on a couple of levels) but he did have friends among the indigenous tribes living in the Oklahoma and Indian Territories. The story is that he fled to Oklahoma Territory after he learned about his emancipation from slavery after the Civil War. There he learned several native languages and how to shoot and track. Those skills and contacts, along with his own ingenuity, later helped him track down the outlaws he was charged with capturing as a Deputy US Marshal. Upon his retirement, he had over 3,000 arrests of felons on his record and had killed 14 outlaws, an impressive tally which inspired many stories.
I used some artistic license to give him a white horse, like The Lone Ranger, and the traditional white hat of the western hero. The Fort Smith courthouse is drawn how it looked sometime in the 1870s. I used several reference photos for both the courthouse and Bass Reeves himself.
The font I used on the bottom is named Nashville and designed by Disturbed Type. I like the eroded look to it. I hand drew the letters for his name using the font Tagwood by Intellecta Design as a guide.
Here’s a variation of the cartoon self-portrait I’ve been using, but wearing a cloth face mask. I made sure to include the smile under the mask, which was a little tricky.
I colored an old sketch of my brother. Now, you may think this is an insulting picture because of the foolish expression he’s wearing, but it isn’t. This is my brother making silly faces for his nieces. This is my brother being awesome. Love you, Eric.
Here’s another Trump caricature designed for shutterstock. It’s a scene that he repeats regularly, whenever he signs something. So, I figure it should be useful for future political articles. I was careful not to make it offensive. That way it got past the shutterstock censors easily.
Here’s another Donald Trump caricature. I think the last one turned out better, but this one’s okay. I don’t think I got his face quite Trump-y enough, but he’s still recognizable so I’m calling it done.
This one’s inspired, of course, both by his iconic catch-phrase and by his recent firing of Acting Attorney General Sally Yates.
Here’s a caricature portrait of Astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson. The background came from a NASA photo (public domain) of a spiral galaxy. I sort of gave him a cosmic halo because it amused me.
Since it’s a celebrity portrait, I can only sell rights to it for editorial or limited personal use. Contact me directly for more information.
Here’s a sketch of my brother being silly.
Here’s an illustration of Kansas City Mayor Sly James that I did for the August issue of 435 Magazine.
