If you’ve been paying attention, I’ve practically been begging you to listen to the four new singles AFI have released in the past couple months. This is the first new music from the band in about four years so it’s freaking exciting! Even more exciting? They’re also putting out an album on June 11th entitled Bodies, and I for one cannot wait. In the meantime, check out this extremely throwback drawing of the band from their Decemberunderground days!

Fan Art Friday: Workaholics/This is Important
Ahhh! Something way cool has happened! Paramount+, the new streaming platform has announced a Workaholics movie and my heart has never been so full. The day before this awesome news I decided to draw the boys in honor of their equally hilarious podcast, This Is Important, but it just seems so much better now because of the announcement. Either way, pumped for the continued content from these dudes and you should enjoy this drawing.
Read moreFan Art Friday: Empire of the Sun
It’s been about a decade since I last drew Empire of the Sun and they are still number one on my concert bucket, so I figured they deserved a new drawing. Hopefully they’ll release some new music soon, too!
Read moreFan Art Friday: The Dresden Dolls
The Dresden Dolls take me way back to my high school days. Back when bands were cool and creative and carefree. Just like The Dresden Dolls were! Comprising of lead vocalist Amanda Palmer and drummer Brian Viglione, The Dresden Dolls’ sound was what I, and many others, would describe as cabaret punk. They were wholly unique in their performances and showed a real passion in what they were producing. Also, they recently got back together! Hopefully there is some new music in the future, or at least a tour! Go familiarize yourself with “Backstabber” please!
Read moreFan Art Friday: 12 Monkeys
This fan art was solely provoked by the fact that yesterday when I was watching Jeopardy with my parents, 12 Monkeys was the answer to a Bruce Willis themed question, and it made me remember that I painted something several years back in honor of that. The show specifically, but still. Enjoy!
Read moreFan Art Friday: Kristen Stewart
I’ll admit that it took me a long while to warm up to the acting chops on Kristen Stewart. Sure, she was good in Panic Room and Speak, but everyone knows she was an abysmal choice for Bella Swan in the Twilight franchise. However, just like her awkward co-star Robert Pattinson, she’s also been making some smart and fun choices in the indie film world since then. If I had to recommend some, my favorites have been Personal Shopper and Happiest Season, but really you could take your pick of the litter for anything post-Twilight. Seriously, give her another chance!
Read moreFan Art Friday: Matthew Gray Gubler
It’s been a hot minute since I’ve watched Criminal Minds, but Matthew Gray Gubler was always my favorite member of the BAU, and he’s just a really cool guy outside of the show. He’s also been in some fantastic indie films, and used to be a model, so it seems sort of obvious that he would be my final drawing of 2020. Enjoy!
Read moreFan Art Friday: Arcade Fire
I think it’s no big reveal that I’ve been obsessing over Arcade Fire for most of quarantine. In honor of that of course I decided to draw the whole band for the first time in almost ten years! Their album Reflector has really been my jam this past month, so I’m glad I found this to draw! Again, can’t wait for new music and hopefully the chance to see them live soon.
Read moreFan Art Friday: Hannibal
I’m sure you are all feeling a sense of deja vu with Hannibal being called out as the fan art this week, but I have a good reason to keep drawing stuff for this amazing show! It’s because the fandom is equally amazing! Twitter is where I’ve found most of them, and they post about Hannibal daily. Also, they are very kind. For the month of December there has been a gift exchange occurring between all of the “fannibals.” I’ve received some cool stuff, the coolest of which was an authenticated prop from the show (my sister can vouch for the intense squeal that left my body)! In what I’ve sent out, I included a little mini-drawing in each, so that’s what you’re seeing below.
Read moreFan Art Friday: Avatar
It’s hard to believe how many times I’ve seen Avatar in concert without drawing them. Until this year that is! Yes, I did a very rare colored drawing of the entire band earlier this year, but this recent magazine cover caught my eye and immediately knew I had to draw it. Back to my standard black pen drawings, but it looks pretty darn cool. Also, this could totally be in honor of the four part concert stream the band has going on in January!
